What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
We went to mediation 2 months ago about visitation for our son with a man who was on the birth certificate but is not the biological father. My husband is the biological father and that is part of the order that the birth certificate be changed. We just got the order filed today. We have been going back and forth with this case as you can probably imagine. It got finalized today. We've been doing the mediated arrangement for 2 months now and parts of the other party has already had an issue complying with some of the measures. My lawyer tells me I have to wait 30 days from this finalization to do anything about the non-compliance because it could make them mad and they (the other party and his parents) could come back and try to make another lawsuit for me. However, I'm concerned that waiting and not telling them is going to give them the defense of "well you've been letting it slide why start now". I'm only questioning because sometimes my lawyer says something one day and the next day it's different. Which actually happened today! Also, as part of the order the other party is not a conservator. So, to avoid more problems in the future and because all parties did spend a pretty penny and alot of time and emotional output, I'd just like to know if that's correct or if I should go ahead and inform the other party of what they may not realize at the next visitation (or maybe through letter so it's not in front of my son), or do I need to wait the 30 days to avoid legal reprocussions from their side?
