Dont want to sound like a broken record

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? nm

My ex took me to court over 3 yrs ago gave me sole custody and since then I have not heard anything out of him (only his wife). When we went to court the courts new I had a relationship with his mom and dad and that our child had seen her sibling before.

Since then my ex has had another child. Which after a long period of thinking and weighing my options. I allowed our child to meet her other sibling. All I told her was your grandma has a new baby for you to love and play with.

My question now is if my ex ever decides to take me back to court (the old case has been closed and all decisions are in tack) would he have to file a whole new one? Will they look at the old decisions and proceedings? and finally will me allowing our child to see her siblings look bad on me and or affect the outcome of a new court hearing? Thanks

Can you exlain this...why would you tell the child the Grandma has a new baby to play with?

Why would you think it will look bad on you for ALLOWING her to meet her sibling? Tthey are half- brother/sister, blood related.

the word you wanted was "intact"

would he have to file a whole new one?

he will have to file a new modification case

Will they look at the old decisions and proceedings?

not sure what you mean by this, they will definitely look at what the status quo has been

and finally will me allowing our child to see her siblings look bad on me and or affect the outcome of a new court hearing? Thanks

I don't see how it could look bad on you, you're doing what you think is right for your daughter

Are you angry that your ex had another child? I think you need to just worry about YOUR child and not worry about hypotheticals.

status quo

So that being said the status quo has been for almost six years (childs age). Child does not know or see father, see family and now two sibblings on occasion (+/- once a month). If we were to end up in court once again they would expect the ex to fuffill his part of the prior court order. Drug and anger issues to be addressed, supervised visits. Im concerned that because I have allowed further contact that the courts will give him a break so to speak. ONe other item. My exs fiance has harrassing me and the courts flat out told him that him and his future wife are not to have any contact with me period.

What exactly is your question?

 

[krislild]

Will they give my ex a "break" on prior judge decisions is the bottom line

They will allow him to exercise his rights, as provided to him under the law. And the judge will take "evidence" into account.

And if you're thinking of no longer allowing your child to see his siblings, not only will you look like an a$$hole in court, you WILL BE an a$$hole in real life.

Hon, you are not explaining yourself clearly at all:

You were given sole custody three years ago.

Apparently in that order or in another order prior to that (which is totally unclear) dad was required to address drug and anger issues, and was to have supervised visits.

You question is, if dad decides to file for visitation rights again, will he still have to address his drug and anger issues, and have supervised visits? Or will the court give him a "break" because you have been allowing his family and his other children to see your child.

The answer to the first question depends partly on whether or not the CURRENT order requires him to do that.

The answer to the second question is no. Dad's not going to get any easier of treatment because you have been allowing his family and children to see the child.
