Had our court date last week. It was quite entertaining. If you've read my past post you'll know that
BM was allowed to change kids school district without
DH approval this summer. She enrolled them in the new school without telling DH. The PC had ruled that kids stay put school-wise. BM filed to have that decision reversed, and got her way. It was a shock to us, our attorney, and the PC.
So fast foward to court last week. Keep in mind we were just in court in August for the school decision. The judge opens the hearing with "I'm going to begin this hearing with a quote to Mrs. BM. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." I almost started laughing. I'm pretty sure BM doesn't know what that phrase means. Judge continued with, "I bent over backwards for you in the school decision." He then told BM and said he was going to leave the courtroom for 10 minutes. And in that time if a PC wasn't picked, he'd pick it and also make some other judgements.
So, there really wasn't a discussion about the PC. It was pretty clear it wasn't up for discussion. BM of course whined she couldn't afford it. Attorney was able to mention that BM recently told DH, BM is planning on taking the kids to Disney World this summer.

Attorney commented to the judge it's not a lack of money, but a lack of priorities. We were also filing for attorney's fees...
Never had a good time in family court, but this came close.
