I feel like this situation is a rollercoaster but I've landed here in hopes of getting some clarity.
My ex and I have been divorced for 8 years. We have 2 kids together, over the last few years he was court ordered to attend anger management and placed under a supervised visitation order. Last year he stopped visiting the kids all together. My kids haven't seen him in almost a year.
Today I received a court summons (Hillsborough County, FL) for a Petit Theft charge. Court date this Tuesday. I completely understand most people would deny this charge, however I genuinely have no idea what it could have been. So I called the clerk of court, state attorney, judge's assistant, no one can tell me anything.
Except for a lady at the clerk of court who seemingly slipped and told me it for brought on by my ex husband's name for personal property less than $100. I called back this afternoon and a new rep told me that's not true, they can see that information, they're confidential records.
I have never stolen anything, let alone anything from him. Especially since I haven't seen him and he's abandoned our kids.
So my question is, how am I charged with something without any clarity for what it is? It makes no sense to me. I'm overwhelmed and hoping to find some clarity here.
Thank you for your help!
