So Dad's attorney filed Motion for Contempt, Motion to Modify Custody and Child Support, and Proposed Parenting Plan at the beginning of December. Haven't had a court date yet, it was supposed to be the beginnning of January, but got continued until February. I just looked online and Mom has now filed Motion for Contempt, Motion to Modify, and Proposed Parenting Plan. I have no clue what any of it says since he hasn't been served and it doesn't show his attorney. She did it as a separate case. I'm going to call his lawyer tomorrow and see if she's heard anything about it or has paperwork.
Couple questions:
1. Can they serve me for Dad since I'm his wife? He works out of town (currently in Eastern TN, 10 hours away, starting next week he'll be in Texarkana AR/TX, about 8 hours away). Or should I just tell the deputy to give it to his lawyer?
2. Is this just going to look like a retaliation thing?
3. Is it going to hurt Dad's case that he works out of town 4 days a week (Sun night through Thurs night) and the kiddos are primarily with me during the school week? It has been this way since Dec 27, 2011 (a little over a month) and Mom was made aware of it well in advance to him getting this job.
If you guys have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them Thanks for all the help and advice as always
