I am wondering if people can refer me to good research on 50/50 parenting times. I have done my own search and has not find good resources. Most people say that it is best that kids spend with both parents but I am wondering what are the conditions for that to be true. I have had that schedule with my ex since we got divorced 6 years ago but last year I remarried and my husband has a son the same age than mine (they are both almost 7). The boys get along really well they play together all the time, and my new step son has been a great influence for my son too. Since things changed around my house, we are a family and do everything as a family. I make sure we treat both kids equally too. My son seems to be straggling with having to go with his father now, not wanting to go and when he comes back he is displaying some disruptive behavior that I haven't seen before. I almost think it would be best if my son sees his dad less often now so he can be with a real family most of his time and just visit with his dad once a week and not overnight and once every other weekend. His dad is still single and living along.

Hi

I got a "Respondent's affidavit in support of respondent's response to petitioner's affidavit including cross-motion to modify parenting time" from my ex-husband attorney. In this document my ex explains why parenting time should not be modified to allow me to move to another state. I am wondering if I can also prepare a "Petitioner's (myself) affidavit in support to petitioner's affidavit." So I can respond to the false accusations (I am planning on attaching supporting evidence in the form of email conversations between my ex and myself) my ex made in this document.

Thanks for your support,

Hi,

I have a relocation case with my ex-husband. I am the petitioner and he is the respondent. I have custody of our son and I am hoping to relocate to other state. We have a hearing scheduled next month and my ex-attorney (I don't have an attorney I am representing myself) requested a production of documents. I responded to this request and sent all the documents requested. I also made the same request to my ex-attorney so they will send me the same documents they requested from me. In the middle of the process my ex-husband changed attorneys and his new attorney was the one responding to the production of documents. In her response she indicated and objection to provided most of the documents I requested. In most cases she indicated that the information it was privileged. Apparently I should have not send the documents they requested and respond on the same way but I didn't know. I just assumed that I had to give them those.

My questions are:

1. Can the new attorney really object to providing the documents? I think some of them are relevant to the case.

2. How can I legally do another request indicated that she is obligated to send those, if that is the case? IS the a low I can cite?

Thanks for your responses in advance! F.

Hi,

My ex-husband's attorney sent me a Certificate RE: Pending child support proceeding for our son. I don't know what to do about it. I do not have an attorney and I am trying not to have to pay one. Recently, I submitted a 60 day notice of relocation to a different state and my ex file for change of custody and modification of child support to keep our son when I move, I am handling that but I just don't know what to do with the certificate.

Does anyone know what I need to do with the Certification that the attorney sent to me.

Thanks,

Hi,

I submitted a 60 day notice of relocation to a different state with the court on my state (OR) a few weeks back. Now I am at the point where I need to set up the trial date for the judge to decide my case. I am hoping to represent myself on this case to avoid the expenses that it will represent but there are things that I am not sure about how to handle. I have done extensive research online that have answered most of my questions but I haven't find information on the next regard.

I had a one hour consultation with an attorney when I started this process and she suggested that I request a psychological evaluation for my case but I never though of asking how to make such request. I when to the family services at the court house to ask this question but they told me they can not provide legal advice and also that there is not an specific form I can submit for doing this request.

I would appreciate if anybody can inform me how to request a psychological evaluation for my relocation case. Does it need to happen before scheduling the trial date? I am also wondering if the evaluation will happen before trial or not.

Thanks for your help in advanced!
