Tom Padgett's Cases Judge's Order 6/29/93

The Judge orders, among other things, that Tom Padgett produce documents and that he won't be held in contempt for non-payment of medical bills at this point.

This shows that even when there is good reason, the Judge doesn't rule reflexively against Padgett, and signs an order tendered by Lola Lewis, Padgett's attorney. However, Judge Boteler will have to return to these issues because Padgett does not pay for the children's health care -- the care of the children he professes to cherish -- as he has been ordered.

This is one of the many times this will be mentioned and Tom Padgett refuses to heed the judge's order, as his Questionnaires from over a year later show.

with the parties' minor children beginning Tuesday, June 15, 1993 
through July 15, 1993;

and will consider whether this cost is to be equally shared by the 
parties at the final hearing.

unpaid medical expenses and ordered that the parties resolve this 
issue. Further, the parties were ordered to the grand jury room,

until a final resolution of this case was to be heard. The Court 
further requested that Attorney Lewis request that correspondence 
to Judge Boteler from Attorney John Padgett be discontinued.

divorce action with the children and should questions arise 
regarding same from the children the parties are directed to change 
the subject.
