What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? fl
May of 96 found out I was pregnet and in June father got extradited to PA; we kept in contact thru letters while he was in jail. In October of 96 father sent me a letter stating friends of his had told him that I lost the baby so he no longer wanted to resume a relationship and that was the last I heard from him till 2001.I had our son in January of 97. In 2001 I was on public assistance so they tracked him down and strarted proceeding to establish cs. In May 02 we appeared in court and he decided he wanted to see his son; so son visited father everyother weekend. (no court order for visititation) All was good even his wife was baby sitting my other two kids while my husband and I worked. In 2004 father and his wife had an incident with violence while all my children where there. So I informed the father that his wife would not be baby sitting any longer and that our son will not visit him at his home untill there is a visitation agreement in place with provisions to secure the saftey of our son and that he was more than welcome to visit him at my home anytime he wished. Well since 2004 father has only seen son 5 times. Father finally filled for Paternity and for related relief on 10-02-09; father notified me that he was doing it because I had the copy of the paternity test he needed to file with the petition. I kept track online with the clerk of courts the case status and noticed the summons was returned unserved. Knowing that it would take a while for a process server to catch up to me because of my 6 day work week; I went up to the court house and got copies of the petition and parent plan filed. I also notified the father by phone not to worry about reserving me just mail me the papers. I filed answer and all the other papers and sent him copies like we are required. Father has yet to mail me any copies of the papers filed in case with the exception of notice for trial that I recieved 10-30. I turned in to the court an objection for trial because I have no copies of the paper work he filed and sent him a copy of it as well. On 11-5 the court sent letters out assigning mediation and if we don't wish to attend mediation and go to trial we have 10 days to object. Can I object to mediation at this time untill father provides me with the copies that he filed with courts and that not send us to trial? Yes he has filed the compliance of mandatory disclosure on 10-2.
