So DH and I stopped by the lawyer's office this afternoon to sign the change of venue paperwork and to review the draft custody agreement for SS8 that we prepared. I'm really excited about getting this agreement put in place so we can finally hold XW#2/BM accountable for her actions and force her to plan. She has been off the hook and has become increasingly blatant with her disregard/inconsideration of DH's time with SS.

She's a cheapskate and thinks she's smarter than any lawyer, so i know she's holding out on getting a lawyer but i think after she sees the updated agreement, she will either have to bite the bullet and sign or bite the bullet and pay for a lawyer to tell her she can't fight it anyways.

I don't normally like drama but i just wish i could be a fly on the wall when she opens up the envelope and starts reading. We figure she'll call when she gets it to raise hell - which, go ahead...it's not changing unless you pony up the money to make a change. She was adamant in the current order to "prohibit" DH from consuming alcohol when SS was in his custody. The lawyer told us they stopped putting that language in custody orders years ago because as long as he's not intoxicated, he meets all other requirements to consume alcohol and it's not the intent of the court to enforce this.

Anyways - as you can tell, i'm a little excited about this, and even more excited to see what she has to say about it. Part of me thinks she thinks DH was bluffing about doing an updated custody arrangement, but she's really going to crap when she sees what he's proposing! }:)
