Local question about this area

Im originally from Montgomery but moved away after high school moved back in my 30’s. My question is why do black people specifically call this the east side when clearly this is North Montgomery. Even the city map has it labeled as north Montgomery. I am black but get lost when people try to give me directions to where they are. Even with ann street They call its the north even though its midtown & south of the area on the map

Alabama vet trying to get a discharge upgrade

Location: Alabama. I got out the army in 13 & have for years been trying to figure out how to get my discharge upgraded from general under honorable to just honorable. So back in 13 one of the guys in my squad popped hot for weed. When caught for whatever reason he said our whole squad was smoker. The military surprise tested all of us, his smoking buddy failed obviously me and another guy both passed. This was March of that year. Afterwords my higher up kept retesting me never failed but dealt with backlash like I was smoking. So by the time late June rolls around my Nco tell me & the other guy the army is firing us. Still till this day trying to figure out why. I have a jkq code which means serious offense but no true clue why. Because I never failed a test or was proven to be doing anything I have no article 15’s never done a extra duty. I don’t have any criminal history or sub par things on my background other than this. Any advice?

At a lost after court

Im on here looking for a way forward if anyone has it. I have two children with my ex wife 7 & 11. Ive been paying child support for the last 8 years but for the last 5 year my kids have been living with their great grandmother. Fast forward 2026 my son is getting in trouble at school. Throwing chair hitting children. my daughter asked to live with me because she want things out of life her mom won’t accommodate like cheer & other extra curricular activities. Her mom said no. So I have recently retired due to disabilities in the last year or so. Which gives me complete free time & my pension is enough to many mu home and my kids. I made a petition for custody due to them not living with their mon who had custody & the school issues with my son and lack of exposure for my children. We go to court and the judge leave her with custody even though she doesn’t live with them and only see’s them on the weekends I dont have them. Im still paying her child support also even though they dont live in the house with them. My lawyer tried to appeal his decision but he denied the motion. Is there anything I can do? Im at my breaking point plus my ex wife is very disrespectful.
