lied to the judge...

What is the name of your state? GA

We just received a letter in the mail reversing a court decision from a few weeks ago. The courts decision was not to allow the bio mother to come out of the house while releasing the 9yo to her father for visitation (as a result of continuing conflicts on her part). Recently, we received a letter stating that because she has no doors or windows that she can see the truck (yes, it's a lie...we took a PIC from the truck showing the door since the receipt of the letter) so the order is modified to her being allowed to come out but no disscussion is allowed between parties. (Basically reverts us back to the original order.) This was signed by the judge.

How did she do this w/o going back to court WITH US? And what should we do about it. We have been attempting to get a mutulal and public meeting place for 3 years, and I see it's never going to happen.

The worse part is WE paid for an attorney to take care of this issue, she showed up w/o one...she didn't mention the no doors or windows at the time of court, because she knew she was lying. Somehow though, she got it reversed.

more power to her..obviously the judge didn't feel what you (or your husband)were seeking was in the best interest of the child. taking a guess you're a big part of the conflict and that's coming from a step mom.

It's called ex parte.

It refers to situations in which only one party (and not the adversary) appears before a judge.

Although a judge is normally required to meet with all parties in a case and not with just one, there are circumstances where this rule does not apply and the judge is allowed to meet with just one side (ex parte).
