My father calls it our luck. Some would blame Murphy's Law. However you slice it, I'm beginning to rack up the challenges in a pace setting way.
I'm a student. It comes with a set of challenges, but it's a choice to take on the responsibilities that come with college. And I've put it off long enough.
I'm a full-time dad. This is a choice, but it's rare that anyone understands just how much has to be sacrificed for kids. I might've known better than some, but I didn't expect to only have 4 dates in as many years. But high school was far worse.
I've got an ex. She's crazy, but I suspect that's true with all exes. She says it of me, I'm sure. There's a number of people I've met. The only issues this raises is that one of my children is with her, and I have custody. Which leads, of course, to point #4.
I've a legal conflict with my ex (Satan) regarding my need to move in order to complete my education. We've been through an evaluation which didn't go as she wanted, so now we have to go to court. This whole procedure has been a headache.
Today I received a notice. My father got a draft notice beginning "you have been selected by your friends and neighbors..." I felt like that. Only mine was for jury duty.
Normally I'm an optimist, but this stuff is really beginning to push my limits.

What you didn't mention is that the jury duty starts 2 days before the custody trial. They have juries for that? I'm almost hopeful.
If you tell them at jury selection that you've got a case in the court system, they will very likely say, "Thank you very much for your time, Mr. Cone" as they hold the door for you to leave. They don't want feelings from personal cases bleeding over into the one they're running right now.
I've been pulled for jury duty twice. I never actually had to serve. You see a lot at jury selection. One woman declared that her child had just died and that she had nothing to live for but public service such as jury duty. They couldn't get her out of the room fast enough. - Ivy N.
