What is the name of your state?Tx
I'm not sure I really understand how this can happen. The judge ordered my ex and I to go to co parenting counseling/conflict disengagement. The judge ordered the time, place and counselor. I looked into the counselors record and it does not seem that this type of counseling is going to work for the relationship between my ex and myself (He's a narcisstic, grandstanding, pathological liar,sanctimonous and arrogant). Having said that, the counseling sessions are going to cost me over $800 (counselor's office will not work with me on payments)which I absolutly do not have. I am raising my children by myself with very little input from him and I cannot fathom how a judge can or would put me in an even more financially burdensome situation by doing this. Furthermore, I have to take time off work to go to these sessions, creating more financial problems. Meanwhile, my ex is laughing all the way, his new wife is paying all the bills and he has recently become unemployed. I have court on friday and I am not sure what to do! If I do not pay the counselor the money that I don't have, I cannot attend the counseling and I am in contempt! I don't know what to say to the judge, it isn't that I don't want to go, I want to get along with my ex, doubtful as it may be, but I simply have no money for this. I feel like I'm being fined....
