Wednesday's Hearing ...

Okay ladies (and gentlemen), keep us in your thoughts and prayers ... our hearing is Wednesday at 2pm PST. I won't be home to update everyone until around 11pm (I have a double headder softball game), but I will update everyone.

BB responded and spent 4-pages bringing up stuff that is completly irrelevant to our hearing, and has already been resloved by the court. She did not refute any of the major arguements we made. Basically, she didn't have a leg to stand on, so she didn't have anything she could refute, so she brought old stuff into the picture that is irrelevant.

Keep your fingers crossed that we get to have SS every other week during the summer, and get a mid-week visit during the school year. Of course there is the issue of the fact that she hasn't taken SS to the DDS in 2.5 years, which ... believe it or not ... she blamed on MY DH for not communicating with her. WHAT!!?? Is he supposed to remind her that their son has to go to the DDS. She's wacked out I tell ya! The overpayment of CSP she agreed to, and she agrees that they don't communicate well, but isn't willing to stipulate to communication by email, and she didn't refute the fact that she doesn't repsond to emails within 48-hours as the parenting plan requires. Oh, and there's the make up time for the weekend DH lost as a result of his surgery!

Pray that BB gets her butt chewed out for not including DH in decision making when there is joint decision making, and for not communicating. So, badly I want to be able to just say (even if it's in my mind), I told you so BIAAACHH!!!

YOU know I will be praying for ya lady!

De inimico non loquaris sed cogities.
I am so glad to hear that your court date is finally here. Maybe this time will be what sets bm straight.I get so frustrated with the courts in that if a NCP misses a couple childsupport payments weather by unemployment, illness, or for other life changing reasons, the courts are more than willing to threaten and often throw these people who for the majority are good people in jail and then fine them even more money, but a CP can play games with the children's head's, interfere or completely withold visitations from the NCP, and not follow other decreed orders..i.e. keeping NCP informed of Doctors visits,school problems or activities, changes in residential addresses and all the more the courts do is give them a slap on the hand! I think it is time our court systems really fight for the children and if the NCP is doing what has been ordered for them to do, that the CP be held accountable in the same manner... if the CP intentionally goes agiants the divorce decree, they risk jail time and court fines up the butt as well!!! This should be a two way street for the children's sake. Further if a CP does not recieve childsupport as ordered, the state will appoint an attorney for the CP in order to enforce the childsupport order( I find nothing wrong with this action by Child Support Enforcement) however, the state should also be willing to enforce action and assist in representation for the NCP in cases of P.A.S, and witholding of visitation,ect. Unfortunatley, the NCP, who is paying the lump sum of money out every week, month has to come up with EVEN MORE MONEY to just get this issue in front of a judge..and for what?Mocha I am sooooo praying that your's and DH's case goes very well and the judge that hear's your case is one of wisdom and fairness.We are still waiting to hear back from our attorney for the date of our ridiculous meditation hearing(like that is going to make any difference) and then we get our court date...My prayers are with you and your husband and ss sweetie! Please do keep us updated,as not only are you a friend to us all and we care about you and your's, but for me, you also are a great help in calming me( at the very least, inspiring strength and a level head in my thinking )in regards to what we are about to go through as well. The funny thing is I deal with the court system all the time for different reason's of course,and I am fine, but then I am usually there in a proffessional position. The problem is when I am there I not only see the justice but I also see the failure and in some cases the injustice of our court system's as well.I guess that is why going to court for personal reason's with DH is a bit unsetteling to me(as well as the fact that all bm does is lie and we are expecting no less in this case as well). Hugs sweetie!!!

Thanks ...

Thanks S. ... we are lucky in that the commissioner (judge) is pretty fair and doesn't take crap. But you are right, the court is more quick to sanction someone for non-payment of CSP than visitation issues, which is WRONG!!

I work with the courts every day too, but I'm learning a lot about what my client's go through now that I'm in their shoes (more or less). So, it has given me greater perspective professionally, no matter how frustrating it is persionally. HE HE HE

Good luck Mocha

Hopefully the Judge will see through BM's manipulation and put an end to some of the drama. Its just like a crazy bm to bring up what ever she can to try to make DH look bad. Good luck sweetie.
