Hi everyone.
So I just got out of court here in NY. There's not much to update on, but I though I'd let you guys know what happened. NY judge spoke to TX judge. NY judge not ready to make a decision on the jurisdiction of the case because he needed to still work out certain things with the other judge (whatever the h*** that means...sorry I'm a bit frustrated). No temporary orders....according to judge that will be handled in the next court date.
On another note, BM did not show up. BM made a major mistake in her filing (don't want to give too much details, you never know how's reading). This was the SECOND court date she didn't show up for. Of course the judge was furious!!! He looked like he was ready to blow! I also told him that BM was blocking my access to my child. Told him that according to BM, NY doesn't have jurisdiction over her or the case, so there's no need for her to follow the NY CO (well that sure got the Judge PO). So now I have to go back to court in early Dec. Judge did not give me another summon to serve BM with (good because I've paid to have it done twice) instead the Judge said that he would personally take care of ordering that BM was present and had an attorney with her on our next court date.
I am frustrated that this is taking so long, because in the meantime I am not having enough time with my child and my holiday visitations are being threatened. In a way it was good that BM didn't show up again, the judge got to see for himself the kind of defiant attitude she has. So for now I just have to try to stay focused on my child and the bigger picture which is getting more time with the child.
Once my other court date comes through, I will once again update the situation. I really hope that the judge here in NY decides to keep jurisdiction.
