IAAL, Simple Question;

But probably a dumb one;

Should I write this in the same format as the declaration?

Or in two to three (small) paragraphs?

My response:

For the benefit of our other readers, Ukiah is not writing in "secret code". Rather, she's asking a question based upon a previous answer I gave to her in another post.

Her question concerns a Declaration she's writing to the court to show the court why there are "changed circumstances" sufficient enough to warrant a change in custody arrangements of her child.

There are few, if any questions, that are dumb or stupid - - with the exception of, "Can I get married before my divorce is final", or "Do I have to pay child support in Kentucky". Those are about the only dumb questions I've read on these boards.

So, to answer Ukiah's question, you'll need to write everything in the same format as all other pleadings. The only difference would be is the "Title" of the pleading.

You should be as complete as you can be to explain your position, but - - and I remind you - - be succinct. There's a lot to be said for brevity. DO NOT make any emotional statements. Make every word and statement count, and DO NOT stray from the issue. Judges do not have all day to read. They have many other cases to review.

Good luck to you Ukiah.

Oh boring!! I thought this was some official declaration of love...

Oh well, back to my afternoon soaps..

I just found out that my X did indeed file, stating that he moved from New county back to old in February!! I have phone bills to prove that it where I have contacted my daughter until the other day!

On top of that... I have something where he states he is still living there, that they "Plan" on moving. Unfortunatley it isn't admissable in court.

Anyways, I haven't gotten done with the reasons why I feel the change of custody is in the best interest of my daughter.

I'm stressing HARD!! Freaking out if you will... Pulling hair out!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, okay, I got that off my chest!
