I was there with several other witnesses for "our side" because we thought it was the actual hearing to modify temporary orders regarding custody. However, due to a clerical error, it was actually scheduled as a status conference hearing only. The hearing has been rescheduled for Dec. 8. This will be the 4th time witnesses have been ready to go on this and it has been postponed. They do not want the hearing and have gotten an order for a custody evaluator. He is a father's rights guy. Dad's attorney is so stupid that he said, in front of multiple witnesses, the Dr. they hired 100% of the time recommends 50/50. The Dr. wasn't too happy to hear that. They are going to ask the judge to delay making a decision until the custody evaluation is complete. They are trying to postpone the inevitable. Just grasping at straws.
His attorney also took him and his daughters to the lake and supplied him with alcohol. Dad got drunk and totalled a jet ski. This was right after dad had to agree not to drink alcohol when he has the girls.
His attorney is representing him for free and tried to scare my sister by saying he would take this to the end for free. I said fine, I will pay for my sister's attorney no matter how much it costs. That was the same day the attorney went after me in the waiting room. He thought I called him a piece of ****. I didn't but I took the heat for it. Even if I did call him a name his response was off the charts. He has since told my sister's attorney that the reason he has been so hosile towards me is because "nobody talks to me that way". Really, nobody has ever called him a name?
Girls want to be with mom and will tell anybody that will listen. Dad doesn't believe it. His attorney said, they are going to say his oldest daughter is not capable of making that decision. Again, he was bragging about this too us in the waiting room right after he said the Dr. was a ringer. She turns 12 in a couple of days and is an A student at a private Catholic school. She has sponken with the guardian and is ready to speak with the judge. I simple told the dad the girls no longer want to live with him. I was trying to get him to realize that he should stop fighting the inevitable because it is only hurting his relationship with his girls.
The girls have a guardian ad litem who is ready to suggest to the court that dad no longer have 50/50. There are multiple witnesses for the mother and none for the father. Father will not stop sleeping with his 2 daughters although he has been told repeatedly to stop, has an alcohol problem..... Mom had emergency custody of the girls but voluntarily let him have 50/50. She thought that is what the girls wanted and thought he would get his act together but he hasn't. Emergency custody and EPO were because he physically attacked my sister in front of multiple people, including his children and other children. My sister suffered years of mental abuse. As did the children because they witnessed it.
The judge saw the dad get his crazy on at the time of the original show cause hearing. He went so far as to say that he could have shot my sister for being on his front porch using the make my day law. My sister was there delivery my yougest neice's prostetic leg that he demanded she bring to him right then. Video from the court house shows he is still unstable.
To make this even more crazy both parties in the divorce are also attornies.
With that added information, what do you think the judge is likely to do?
ETA, sorry this post is so hard to read. There is just so much to tell and I was trying to keep it as brief as possible. It would take me forever to proof read and make it easier to read.
