OY!
You didn't have a certified copy of the order after all this time?
I actually did. I got 3 copies of certified orders and sent one immediately upon receiving it on July 22nd, with the purple stamp to the Fresno Sheriff's office. I also walked it into a Fresno Police Station, but they simply look at it and require the purple stamp, then take a copy and compare it to the one filed with the Sheriff's office and give me the copy back. I didn't expect this to happen at all.
Make copies and fill out the report First thing Monday report to the DA office again, remind them of their prior assistance and mom's current violation of the most recent court order and the problem with the police not taking your report. Tell them you are concerned for the safety of the children as mom is acting irratic and unstable, has made claims of child being suicidal and nothing in record indicates that and when mom is about to be found out by presenting same child for court ordered therapy/visitation mom refeuses to present child but had presented other children previously and it is mom's request for therapy/visitation. Mom, failed to call to cancel visitation/therapy with therapist, child/children are effectively missing. Report your children missing to police department in LB Today and give them copies of report to Fresno police and certified copies of the rorder, perhaps their agency can interface with Fresno, get both report numbers.
I have been swamped and have a meeting at 4p, so won't be able to do any of this until at least tomorrow. IF I have time I will definitely call the DA's office tomorrow morning, but I have class tonight and tomorrow, both have tests so I cannot miss them. Will LBPD take my missing children's report? I only ask, because the last time I tried to do this WITH an attorney, I was told they really weren't missing and to take it up with Family Court or Fresno PD.
Get her back into court file an Order to Show Cause Re: Contempt of Court for Visitation Interference no matter what FLF office says, also have the subponea issued for #1 son's clinical therapy record which Ms. Therapist as refused. Also see if Fresno will do a Welfare check if they won't cooporate with LB PD.
My girlfriend said she may have time to get the papers filled out for this contempt tonight or tomorrow, but she flies out tomorrow at 3pm. Whatever the case, I am going to get help from that paralegal in Fresno who is still willing to help me so we can get this filed. I will be in Fresno again on Sat. for therapy and if need be, I will get paperwork dropped off then if not sonner. How do I do a Welfare check? I will get help to subpoena the first therapist's records too. Mr. Therapist said he will request them one more time.
Don't be dissappointed if court doesn't order mom to be required to pay for therapy to date, you can ask but don't expect it until later if at all.
Okay. I think I was just so upset. I really don't expect to ever get any reimbursment for anything, no matter how unfair it seems.
However you can ask for court to order EC 730 evaluation specifically at Mom's expense since she is exhibiting signs of mental instability and possibly factious disorder by proxy. (making false claims of child's suicidal ideation and inducing PTSD and other psychological complaints in previously well adjusted children) Ask that the court order the examination from independent evaluator psychiatrist, not Psychologist/LCSW or MFT because of her history of manipulation of therapist of her chosing and she may be a threat to self and others.
Shall I ask for this in the contemp paperwork I will file this week?
Even though, she did not present your son for appointment Sat. Mr. Therapist can still make his report which will include mom's continued actions of interference, even when court ordered and upon her own request.
He said he will do that, but I am still worried because I am certain she will not show up to this Sat, Oct. 29th, Nov. 5th and Nov. 12th (which are all scheduled double sessions for me and the boys) and at mediation, the same mediator I felt she manipulated (who sat with us and was almost in tears as she listened to me ex lie) I feel as if the mediator will say "Oh well, since you haven't had enough sessions, and since mom is saying they relate better to females, the order is another 12 or 24 week ordered therapy session in Fresno. I can't do this any more! I cannot take losing every time I follow instructions and directions from people who are helping me to fight for my children. I am fearful that my ex will file some crazy declaration or motion this week (since part of me thinks she might be just a little worried that she outright violated the court order not bringing our son on Sat.)...I fear she will somehow delay our therapy another 6-8 weeks when another court date can be given. She can't do that can she? I mean, my girlfriend said even if she files a motion for another therapist, the current order must be followed until a new order is given. Is she right?
I hope you have a chance to discuss much of your frustrations in your session and that Mr. Therapist has encouraged you.
I have. He has been encouraging, but even he was shocked that my ex did not bring our son.
Were you able to catch any of the other children's games?
No. There were no games, except at 10 and 11 by our youngest son, but since the sessions were at 11 and 12 I did not want to risk being late for them and missed this son's games. My ex emailed me that crap saying the boys games were at 9, 10, 11, 12, 1 and 2 so that is why they could not come. She lied as I already had contacted each of their coaches. Besides, the oldest one plays no Sat. sports and he was the only one scheduled with me.
Give School Supv 1 week to respond then follow up with a call.
