Greetings Soc,
Just read the moving out of state thread. Curious about a couple things re my own case. My case is in WA state, RE: Relocation of the child. Temp order granting the move, Temp parenting plan, are in place. I went Pro se.
I have had a letter drafted to the judge in my case sitting on the computer (never mailed) requesting him to explain his ruling. It has been 18 months since his temp. order was signed.
I timely filed an objection to the move, and my declaration supporting my objection. Service of process was also timely.
The other parties lawyer verbally motioned I believe it was for a summary judgment, based on the fact that I did not timely file a motion to 'Restrain the move', and that based on the info before the court, he believed the court would rule in favor of the move at trial. This judge ruled in his favor, granting a move to VA.
This particular judge is pretty hard on Pro se litigants as a rule, unless you have all your ducks in a row and follow procedure to the letter. If you do present your case well, and don't miss anything, he is fairly impartial.
In the past, I've seen this judge give advice/suggestions to lawyers and involved parties re their case. In my relocation of the child case however, he basically slammed the door in my face.
My questions:
1. After all this time, can I still request "findings and conclusions" re the judges ruling?
2. Could I have verbally motioned to 'restrain the move' in the court room at the time of the hearing?
3. If #2 is yes, did the judge have any obligation to inform me of my right to do so?
4. If #3 is yes, would that be abuse of discretion?
Thank you for your time and knowledge.
