So for you that have read my previous posts and responded and helped i truly appreciate it but i have a new question.
I have decided not to file contempt charges against the ex and have decided to just file for a Proposed Temporary Parenting Plan.
So i have a couple questions since i am doing this Pro-Se other then i have had some help with paperwork from local legal aid.
I have 2 questions regarding this parenting plan that i am proposing.
#1 In my proposed temp parenting plan the legal aid lady put that the mom is to have our daughter during school year,summer break,school breaks, and put myself to have her during winter breaks. my question is since she is 5 years away from starting school is this gonna be only a proposed temp plan will i still have a choice to change all this when i come up with my final parenting plan or is this stuck in stone? (Basically i wanna know if whats in the proposed temp plan is gonna screw me when i wanna change some of it in the FINAL parenting plan?
#2 I have proposed the following progressive time in my temp parenting plan and was wondering what you guys/gals think my chances are of getting this time?
April. Mon and Wed 4 Hour unsupervised visits
May. Mon and Wed 8 Hour unsupervised visits
June Wed 8 Hour unsupervised visit and Sat 7pm - Sun 7pm (overnight)
July Wed 8 Hour unsupervised visit and Sat 7pm - Sun 7pm (overnight)
June 20th (fathers day 10am - 6pm)
Then in my decleration i mention i will be proposing a new order in August.
I also requested in my decleration that i would like to go to co-parenting counseling (if mom agrees) for the fact that i believe it would be in our daughters best interest if we could co-parent.
I hope i said this all right lol if anyone has any questions before they give me advice please let me know as i will be filing this probably on monday and wanna make sure im doing it all correct and not screwing myself for my later final parenting plan proposal.
This is the biggest thing i will ever do in my life and wanna make sure im doing it correct.
I also wanted to add that a couple weeks ago when mom came to drop off our daughter she mentioned to my mom that she probably wouldnt have a babysitter here soon and wanted to know if (my mother and father) or anyone in my family wanted to start babysitting our daughter. (should i mention that in court at all?)
