What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My daughter was involved in a case where the father of their child (never married) was suing her for visitation and to keep her near him in Texas. She won her case - ability to decide residence without regard to boundaries, along with all the details on support, visitation, etc. We were waiting for final orders as we had to go back for clarification, in the mean time he made a motion for reconsideration, which he also lost. Final orders regarding everything was clarified, heard by the judge, signed by all including the judge. All signed. Done deal.??? He is now threatening her with more court, vowing to keep going until he gets what he wants, which is revenge for her winning in the first place. As long as she abides by the orders, can he continue to do this? Is there no recourse? A judgement has been made! Also, 2nd part to my question, since the father refuses to communicate with my daughter, our attorney tells us we must continue communicating through the attorneys, which means continuing to pay, for 18 years??? Can we not tell the attorney case closed? We're done, balance our account, and move on.
