What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CO
I have full custody and decision making due to my ex�s drug problems and domestic abuse convictions. He has filed a motion to get joint decision making and 50% custody and the hearing is in about 1 month. During his unsupervised visits, my 1st grade daughter told me that they always �stay up until midnight drinking Mountain Dew until they are drunk.�
In an email, I asked him if he would agree to mirror my house rules of an 8:30pm bedtime and only having pop on special occasion occasions like birthday parties. His response was to contact my lawyer and demand that any requests for his compliance regarding this active case be processed through her office and that he be provided an official document outline the exact specifics and definitions of my request including all relevant documentation.
I know that as the sole decision maker, I make all major medical decisions for my daughter, but where does that end? I would not imagine that includes smaller things like diet and bedtime but those are definitely parts of my daughter�s health and picking up my ex�s 4 liter per day Mountain Dew habit will not do her health any favors. I am in favor of people making their own choices for themselves, even if they are bad ones, but he is making poor choices for my daughter.
Does my ex have to comply with my dietary and bedtime request?
He loves driving up my legal costs by constantly attempting to involve my lawyer on routine matters that do not involve her, is this something I can avoid or does my attorney need to be involved in this process as he claims?
