What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
I’m am the Mother of a 3 year old. The Father and I have been in court for a year. I moved out when our son was 18 months, we were never married. I got promoted at work and was asked to relocate to NC, father agreed verbally then changed his mind after I accepted the job and bought a home. The forensic evaluation which I requested came back that it’s in our son’s best interest to move with me to NC. Father admitted during his sessions with the psychologists to drug use, spanking our son at 14 months, suicide attempt and domestic violence against me. He had previously denied all of this in court. Psychologist recommendation for visitation was for me to pay for father to travel to NC once a month and to bring our son back to NY once a month at my expense as well, which I agreed to.
Father is not accepting report or offer and says it’s not a fair schedule and he will only except visitation what he’s currently getting which is every other Saturday overnight in NY only. He stated he absolutely will not travel to NC to see our son. At yesterday’s hearing judge was fed up and scheduled a trial, with another judge in September. She also stated to him that he needs to settle this and this is not a case that needs to go to trial. Is it normal for a judge to give up a case they’ve had for a year?
Today when I picked our son up from his midweek visit with his Dad, he threw a tantrum and was crying and saying he didn’t want to go with Mommy. He has never done this. I noticed his father recording the tantrum on his phone. Is this something he can use in court or give to the GAL to try and sway them? I feel like since he has nothing negative about me that he’s trying to create something.
