Visitation Issues / Re: Father demanding makeup time

You and your attorney cannot unilaterally decide to preclude visitatio because he failed to take the class. You have rules for that and that would be to file a petition for contempt. Actually, you act may be contemtuous.

Father's Issues / Re: going about this differently

What rights did you lose: physical and/or legal? Did the order provide for a progressive schedule for possible reunification? There are ways to file a motion for modification and this website provides some great information.

Custody Issues / Re: 50/50 Custody battle in WA, Help Needed

« on: Mar 28, 2013, 11:51:29 am »

I don't know why your time is limited if the divorce is not finalized. Is there an Order identifying limitations?
 
If not, spend time with your children; otherwise, the Court may apply "status quo" and award custody to the mother due to the fact that she spends most of the time with the children.
 
In order to win, you will need to prove that the best interests of the children are served with you. I'm certain there are custody factors to consider when awarding custody. Review them and make sure you satisfy each one and argue how the mother does not.
 
Why do you want a Custody Evaluator? Sounds like another layer of BS; been there done that. The disadvantages to both is bias, another mind to persuade, costs, etc.
 
I would prepare by reading everythig you can get your hands on. This is a very good website but read some of the WA decisions on custody. They will familiarize you with the Rules and Code, as well as the langauge.
 
Good luck

Divorce News / Re: America must stop blaming divorce on women

« on: Mar 15, 2013, 01:09:34 pm »

I read that 75% of divorce filings are done by the mother. Out of that only 5% are truly litigated by the Courts. Of that you can expect around a 60% liklihood of false accusations to be made by the woman. Yes, most divorces are the result of the woman filing. I'm not saying men are not to blame but the statistics support the article.

Father's Issues / Re: regain rights if possible???

I would file a Motion for Modification. Being poor does not terminate parental rights. Is there more here? If you can get the mother for contemptuous behavior that can start the ball rolling on changed circumstances.

Custody Issues / Re: Ex Parte

Good luck with this. Most emergency motions require imminent physical danger of a child not emotional or mental abuse. I know this is the standard in Maryland.

Custody Issues / Re: mother won't discole information on dental

Agree with the other comments but if the Order allows for medical records and notification of medical appointments I would file a petition for contempt. By law unless an Order speficially prohibits you access to medical records the care provider must provide to you the documents upon request.

Father's Issues / Re: Father falsely accused of child sexual abuse!!!

« on: Jan 28, 2013, 09:43:36 am »

I'm in the States but has something officially been submitted. Is there a Petition for a Temporary Protective Order? Did she go to protective services? If an Order was filed a case needs to be heard within 7 days normally. If she went to protective services is there a report? I hate to say this but this is a game and you will need to play this out until it gets tossed. If the mother filed a protective order or went to protective services she can refuse you visitation until this is resolved. If the mother did not file or go to services and refuses to hand over the child file a contempt case. Just because the mother says something does not make it factual

General Issues / Re: abuse of orders of protection in Missouri

« on: Dec 19, 2012, 03:38:27 pm »

The court will eventually see her true colors; let the psycho play this out. Most protective orders are issued ex parte but at court they must prove beyond the preponderance of the evidence. Also the contempt she must prove willful disobedience. If she says you are parked outside does psycho have pictures? I would advise you to now contact social services and reqeust that they NOT expunge any records because more than likely mother of the year will start filing false abuse allegations. This is the normal patter of mentally ill women.

General Issues / Re: Wife locked me out of home, what to do?

« on: Nov 23, 2012, 08:34:02 am »

Get back in the house. She is attempting to demonstrate that you abandoned the home. She is also attempting to show down the road a status quo of her providing for the children in the home while you are not there. Therefore, when this goes to divorce she will get the home and the children (use and possession). My advice to you is to have the police escort you to the house. Otherwise she will accuse you of beating her and then she will seek an emergency ex parte protective order. Make sure you have a witness around because she will claim abuse; I guarantee it. You will be forced out, forced to pay the mortgage, forced to sleep on a buddy's couch, you will lose the house, you will lose the children.
 
Get back to the house ASAP.
