After Christmas, I never heard back from the investigator. Out of respect, I decided to wait and give her space because of the holidays.
I finally followed up on January 7th, but got no response. When I followed up again on January 9th, I was told the determination was still “in progress.”
This was extremely frustrating because I had been told it would be finalized right after Christmas, and by then the statutory deadline had already passed over a month and a half earlier. It felt like they were dragging their feet to benefit Anna, not me, especially since I had been updating them about her continued retaliation in court and they refused to step in.
The investigator tried to blame the delay on holiday vacations, even though the deadline had passed long before the holidays began. I formally requested a written explanation by January 14th.
