A timeline would be handy.
I have been making a detailed time line since last year when she left the first time to go so far for so long
When did you file to modify? Last Nov. And why?? because I moved closer and finally have her own room for her. Because I can finally - after lots of hard work and dedication - afford it.
When did Mom tell you her intentions?
Saturday night. Three days ago.
The problem you have is that you've filed to modify custody without having a reason for doing so. You can't just up and decide to switch things around simply because you're now in a better position - you're no longer standing equal to Mom. By that, I mean that during an initial determination you and Mom are equal - but now that custody has been decided, you're NOT equal...now you're in a position where you have to do two things.
1. Prove that there has been a substantial change of circumstances. Your finally getting everything together is not a CoC.
2. If you pass #1, THEN the court wants to know whether or not such changes warrant a change in custody.
You haven't done either - and while Mom hasn't done everything right either, chances are you've "spooked" her into running.
But still, you're NOT being clear. Now you're saying that you filed to modify the original petition in...November of last year? I thought it was only last year that you'd received court ordered visitation?
I don't think you're understanding your situation, at all.
