Dear Socrateaser / RE: Discovery???

That is exactly why school district is so important, if ex gets the determination for his school district, then my time with kiddo, which right now is 50/50 will go down to every other weekend, however if my school district is chosen then the current time schedule CAN easily be maintained. The school I want kiddo to go to is actually closer to ex's house than mine but it is in between, ex's school is further from him than my school and also over 30 miles from me.


ex's motion is only for the determination of school district and then mod of custody to fulfill that determination

hearings tomorrow, I have been working to get several motions, and all the other stuff prepared to be able to address any issue that comes up in court, from objectiing to the continuance, to requesting temp order, to be able to deal with the whole issue right then.....

the ex has provided a list of people he would like the GAL to speak with, none of whom have seen me in the past 3 years and certainly not since the last order

does anyone know if it is possible to get the judge to direct the GAL to only question these people as relates to the period of time since the last court order?

our order was extremely vague- it inly said custody is split 50/50 week on week off and that's about it

as far as I was aware the hearing was only for a determination of school district, the referred to NOTHING else in their motion

What is the name of your state? WI

One of these days I'll be done with this crap.....

short recap....

I filed motion for remedial contempt and for clarification of the court order and determination of school district......

we tried to mediate- didn't work

we were appointed GAL....everything was moving along, we have a court date for June 20

some of the letters, and also a request for totally irrelevant info from the GAL have me concerned that ex is going to try to go for the whole enchilada on wednesday, as in try to totally modify custody (in the past he has threatened to try to get sole custody)

so- there are these new request for info, obviously ex is totally bashing me to anyone who will listen, and I am scared they are listening (even though we tell people-never bash the ex)

feeling out my options here....would it be prudent for me to request a continuance on wednesday and thereby give myself some time for discovery (which the demand cannot be made soone than 30 days before court) and figure out what exactly they are up to?

oh boy- make sure you tell that to the judge

good 'nuff- there are some crazy ex's out there!

if she has a lawyer you call him up(or send a letter) and ask him if his client would be interested in trying mediation to get this resolved between yourselves rather than having the court decide

there are sample plans...keep in mind that what often times seems like common sense to us....well let's just say that common sense isn't a requirement for a court order

Hey MB---- it is my understanding that a court order cannot go against the interest of public policy (orders being modifiable) and secondly it is rare (although it is happening more) for a court to make a determination on some "possible" future event, so most orders will not say "if Johnny doesn't reach a B grade average by the end of the year, custody will revert to the other parent" because the courts will want to actually review the scenario and issue a new order......likewise in your friends case- the court is not going to sing of on their ability to act in the best interests of the child

On another site I was told to file this with the court, but not as a contempt

does anyone have any idea what that means?
