Ugh... I just got my Federal jury duty summons yesterday. 10 weeks of on call... gross.
Here's a question. I'm a single dad who has my son 50-75% of the time. if I actually got called in that would severely impact not only my work schedule and ability to earn money but my ability to pay for child care as well as my ex's schedule etc. She can't get from her work to his daycare in time to pick him up before they close, so I do even on her days to have him. If I got selected we'd be up a creek with no one to pick him up. Should I bother trying to write an exemption letter or has anyone had experiences with exemptions when it involves a child?
In your case, I would write a request for exemption. Clearly explain the complicating situation and see what happens. I know our county's policy is pretty liberal, but the only federal experiences we had in the family was my sister, and she complied with the summons.
