Finish to mother would like to change custody.

OK so we set a date for the evidentiary hearing in two weeks, I will retain the same judge I want.


The short trial for their expert witness a judge is still going over. There may be a trial for this witness in a few days, maybe not. They admit to filing late but supplied codes to try and pypass their tardyness. I dont think they meet the criteria, only a judge will decide that. I did catch them in a blatant lie as they tried to make excuses, I can bring that lie up.

ahhh...sweetie! You don't get to choose the judge of your liking.

But of course, since you have it all figured it? You just go with your bad self!

I don't think he meant he gets to choose the judge but while it appeared other party was attempting to cause this be heard by a different judge but op ends up with no change of judge and op was wanting this judge to hear the case due to the statements made about being pissed off about the continued BS

I assume you mean a lawyer. You don't retain a judge.

I didn't use the right word, retain wasn't the best example.

I still will get the judge I like that knows the case, and warned the mother against constant litigation.

Actually I did get to choose. Figured out no.

Mother lawyer was pushing for a new judge when they were setting the calendar, and I was asked if I agreed. I stated I opposed and wanted the date set when the Judge I liked was on.


In the hard setting of a trial date, 2 days ago, mothers lawyer tried getting another judge and I fought to keep the current date.

Your correct, less the choosing of the judge.

a few months back when we were setting up the settlement conference, I was able to specifically ask for the judge who has heard the whole case for over a year.



I know absolutely nothing about a evidentiary hearing, I just know in mothers contentions and briefs for this hearing is the same arguments she has been giving for two years.

Moms lawyer subpoenaed, me my mom and a lady from work.


I don't have a clue what they are up to.

 

[TinkerBelleLuvr]

Grasping straws?

Grasping straws?

That's what me and my mom are thinking. Exact words we used.


They will try and build case around me bringing my daughter to work with me after she gets out of day care. They state they have a witness to show how much I have her at work. I don't know who or what they have.


What I do however, and I have made it no secret and have told the judges and two mediators, is that my daughter gets out of school at 3:05. She goes to "discovery club" which is day care on the school grounds until 5:45. This happens 4 times every two weeks. I take her out to dinner and we get back to my work at 6:15 and 9 times out of ten we leave at 7:30 to go home.

Again this only happens 4 times during a two week period. My mom broke her shoulder and it took 3 major surgeries so this year she hasn't been able to watch but now can relieve her being at my work for a few hours a week.


That's the worse they can claim other then sometimes 3-4 times a year I will bring her into my work into my office for 2-3 hours on my day off.

While we are at work, I go through her homework and have her do her required reading, and is supplied with a kindle fire and a ipad, plus the computer at my desk.


Kid is in the top of her class, and reading above grade level and helps other kids who don't have the PC skills she does.




They also claim the 7 year old child sleeps with me. She does, I'm having her go to bed without having me with her. I have her room own set up but she doesn't stay there long. Thing is mom still has her sleeping in her bed with her, yet wrote a page to the judge about how I'm stopping their progress at getting the child to stay in her own room.

I understand the need for my daughter to have her own room and I'm working on it.

I have this ex parte hearing for their tardy witness in two days.

Decided to consult one of my past lawyers since I don't know enough about evidentiary hearings.


Glad I did. I retained her. This is their last hurrah and I felt there is to much at stake to go without representation.

Don't forget to have your attorney ask for attorney fees to be paid by the mother.

Thank you will do.


This forum has helped me not only cope with all this and learn about law, its helped me to be a better co-parent.

 

[outhouse]

Ok so they tried to get their expert witness in, and that didn't happen.

Extended the hearing until 1/2/14

This order will be a permanent order from the sounds of it.


Under judicial notice all past mediations and psych eval [730] will be admitted.

Received mail and it was a notice Mom has dropped her lawyer and says she is representing herself.

This was 11/6 so that leaves her 2 months to find a new lawyer.


Now that I have a top notch well respected lawyer, mom drops hers.


Could be one of two things. Mom ran out of money and is on her own. OR she is looking for a new lawyer making this #6.


I wont take it as good news until I know for sure she doesn't have someone new. She has 5 weeks to come up with someone else. We will see.

 

[outhouse]

The END for now?


Lets hope so.


Mom is dropping her case completely.


My lawyer states that the orders in July were permanent orders.


Once again I am free from court.
