It is just UNBELIEVABLE that in a suit LK filed, all of the K-Klan are doing everything they can to delay, delay, delay. It is just another “you know what” to Michael and the whole situation is beyond despicable. I hope the judge throwns the whole suit out. [edit]

I would imagine anyone without a lawyer can speak for themselves in a hearing, no? I mean, is it advisable? Laughingly not, but I suppose they can. Frankly, I wouldn’t put it past Johnathon’s arrogance to try.

I’m guessing JK is wanting to represent himself both to save money and to ensure that he can be allowed at the hearings and is privy to all the back and forth between the various attorneys and the court. I am not sure if IM is allowed to post here anymore but I am sure we will hear JK’s take on the hearing from a couple of posters that he apparently confides in.
I am also wondering it IM does post, if it will be rage posting like the last one he submitted?

Agree…its only to keep him on edge with this hanging over him. But, there is still the countersuit that needs to be dealt with so likely the K-klan would still use delay tactics for that…

If he appears, and tries to represent Kirby, or file anything on her behalf, can the judge hold him in contempt of court?

What would could be the repercussions of doing that?

You can represent yourself (appear in pro per) but you cannot represent someone else.
It would be unwise in this case for him to appear pro se for a couple reasons, but chief among them is that he already has an attorney attempting to quash motions on his behalf, so if he wants to represent himself then the motion to quash is without standing. The second is that it is almost always a bad idea for an attorney to represent themselves because you make bad legal decisions when you are so convinced of your own argument that you miss the forest for the trees on the counter. We have already seen this to some degree with Nagel’s filings. He would do a lot better to get an objective attorney not cowed by his daughter if he wants his rights defended.

There is a saying:
a person who represents himself at trial has a fool for a client.

In my state this is a third degree felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and fines of at least $5000. Plus you are almost certainly going to be excluded from the proceedings by a judge even if not charged with a felony.

Does the motion to quash have any standing if the lawyer who filed it has not filed whatever it is that they have to file to say they are representing the person who they filed the motion to quash for?

And it’s pretty ridiculous that Nagel is all over MB amending his counterclaim “after the statute of limitations” when he filed motions to quash (for people he does not represent) after the deadline to file those motions. Do as I say not as I do, huh?

My exhusand did that.
He and I had a situation where one child was living with me, an other with him. In CT, parents are given the amount of child support based on a percentage of their income. For us, it meant that our mutually-owed child support amounts were nearly a wash, and that I owed my ex husband about three dollars a week. For many years. In CT, you automatically have your wages garnished and paid to the superior court, which supposedly disburses the child support, and I’m sure they do, in some manner. Any time I changed jobs, they had some means to quickly follow me to the new job and garnish my wages for that three dollars.
Mr. Ex took me to court for unpaid child support in the amount of close to 20k, claiming I had never paid him a red cent. At the time I wondered where he had the balls to do that, but he had an ego the size of Montana, and believed “I coulda been a lawya” with his superior intelligence, and I figured theres something in there somewhere that probably believes all this is true. I wondered if the courts had ever disbursed that three dollars a week, and it was possible they didn’t, or that the amount was buried somewhere in his paychecks possibly. Whaever the story of the three dollars a week was, I wondered didn’t he realize that the child support people certainly would have records of having collected that from me all these years? I shrugged, because I certainly had records of it.
Where he got the amount of 20k, I have no idea, however, he had given my children his old computer, which at the time was an old dos-based computer. I was very technically clever with those early machines.
Plus, the second child, by the time of the suit he brought, had been living with me for about 6 years, as well, and he had not paid me one dime of child support, which, of course I had been to court for when the second child first came to live with me. For some reason, the superior court had not followed him to another job, when this happend, as he had immediately quit his then-job, and started another, and his wages were never garnished for the new amount based on me having bothe children, although I did have an amount awarded to me at the time. Just never received a dime of it. He was a long-distance trucker, and my suspicion was that he had taken a job with some trucking company out of state. I didn’t try to go back to court again for him about the new child support based on me having both children. The entire thing was exhausting to me; the first child aged out of the whole child support question, and I was just glad to be rid of the AH being in my life.
When he took me to court, as I said, I had the second child for about 6 years. On the computer he had given my children, he of course had deleted all his old personal files, however I of course could get a shadow copy of his documents off the dos drive. I knew at one point he had given me and updated spreadsheet about what monies one owed the other, week by week with dates, and the spreadsheet started on a certain date, with the amount of zero. If you can follow. Bingo. A starting point of monies who owed who with his personal admission of that those amounts actually were. He had used this in court years prior, initially when we had one kid in each household to show who owed what.
So when he sued me for the mega millions, (no, about 20k) I brought that spreadsheet to court. Plus a box full of allllllll my paycheck stubs showing the child support payments. Plus his letter of venom to me when the second child packed up at age 12 and left him and moved in with me. Dated. My documents showed that he owed me about 8k.
He had no documentation to show I owed him anything at tall.
The judge awarded me the 8k, told him he was a fool, and told him he never wanted to see him in his courtroom again.
Judges love documentation. Whenever you go to court, bring documentation to support your claim. You’ll win every time.
That’s why Lauren Kanarek won’t prevail over lost wages. She has no documentation to support a monetary claim.

I think it’s a 4th degree crime, but I don’t know if there are civil penalties as well. That according to Justia law, btw.

Of course not. I’ve felt all along that they thought they could bully and intimidate MB into taking a plea in the criminal case with threats of these supposed bombshells. Too bad for the Kanarek clan that MB was found not guilty and now could prevail in civil court, as well.

JK/IM will never post here again. He’s been wrong too many times and promised too much that never came to pass to have any credibility here. Yet, there is one hangers-on here defending him and his “truth”. How they still do is not logical.
In their smug assurance that MB would rush to take a plea and would be eager to settle, they forgot one very important aspect…LK and her behavior and actions sunk their eagerly anticipated gravy train. Add on the behavior of the parents and it isn’t a good look.

In my opinion, Jonathan Kanarek’s ego is too big for him to simply not post again. He will be back.

Thanks for supplying that info. Mine came from either the Cronicle or Dressage and CT.
Four big Amish horses hitched to four limbs going in four different directions slowly so they could think about what they did is not enough to pay for that crime
