1bassoon Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 If you did, I may have missed it. I'd love for you to share, if you're comfortable doing so. And looks like we're both racing to 2000 posts ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I don't remember seeing an update. This board is big and busy though, so I may have just missed it. Please do share if you feel so inclined. I have been reading/following your posts regarding your ex and the custody issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy in TN Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I can't remember. LOL. If I didn't, let me know and I'll tell you. Nope, no update. What happened after the e-mail to your attorney? Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well...... There was a flurry of what my legal side called odd and non standard activity the Friday before the Monday we were supposed to be in court. Eventually, the attorney the judge assigned to my children (and who already evaluated the case in our favor - that the child in question should *not* move), suggested everyone step down with their orders. He told the other side to move forward with the Psych Eval. You know the one? The one on which they were granted the last continuance? They never got the eval. Court is now rescheduled for - get this - June!! It will be 2 years of legal hell by then. I have to submit to 4 hours of personality testing, 2 2 hour long individual appointments, 1 2 hour family appointment and my DH will need the family appointment and an individual. Insanity. One of my kids could go to state college for a year on what this is costing. Meanwhile, xh continues to pay $400 a month for 3 kids although I haven't seen a payment in nearly 2 months. And he's not paying for the health insurance. So, while I am as mad as heck that the legal universe did not punish xh for the craziness and lack of follow through on HIS requested psych eval (requested because they didn't like what the ad litem said), I have decided to embrace this school year, this family year, our time. In my more secure moments, I am confident that any sane person looking at this would evaluated in our favor. 15 years of indoctrination from my xh makes that confidence shaky at times, but I am getting better. The child in question clearly does not feel the same way he did. He's much more conflicted now. I won't, however, march him in to sign any papers because good mother has to come before legal advantage. It would, IMO, be in my children's best interest for me to have full custody but it's not in their best interest for me to fight for that, so I don't. My first of the many psych appointments are late December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Thanks for the update, I was wondering. What a mess. When it's all said and done, is it possible your ex would be ordered to pony up some of the legal expenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Thanks for the update, I was wondering. What a mess. When it's all said and done, is it possible your ex would be ordered to pony up some of the legal expenses? That is already one of the counter motions. He is already required to pay the full amount of the psych eval (several thousand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (((Joanne))) Thanks for the update. I was wondering. Sigh. I agree with you that I wish the legal universe would give your x some serious consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 My goodness. Thanks for the update. I do pray for you and your family. I'm sorry you have to walk this path. May God bless you as you seek His face. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
