What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA Many of you know my situation by now. Short Recap: I was awarded sole custody of my daughter last June. Dad could have supervised visits if he would take and pass a drug test, but has yet to do so. He could work up from supervised if he get...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I just heard a rumor that my X is talking of appealing the judges decision. I think it is probably just talk, but who knows. When does the clock for an appeal start running? Is it from the time of a judges decision or does it start after the...

Wanted to update everyone and since my last thread was closed for the second time by admin. I thought I better start a new one. We went to court on Tuesday for trial. The X showed, bald head and all. The judge heard our motion to exclude X's testimony and as we expected she declined to do...

What is the name of your state? WA Some of you know the situation with my X. So far the X has not gotten a new attorney, thus he is either going to do this Pro Se or ignore the rest of the litigation process. I haven't figured out which yet. The problem is he won't accept or pickup...
