Yes, the whole Anna Nicole situation brings the trial/court system to a laughing matter...and embarrasing since I live in Florida.

I agree wholeheartedly about the whole denigrating the other parent...however, it has worked for the other party much to my surprise.  

That within itself was a big blow and unfortunately after speaking again with his teacher, who I once thought was very biased against me due to the other parent, has begun to turn her own attitude around as I refused to maintain every conversation about the child instead of a he said/she said.

Thanks for your time.  We will continue to work our attitude to our advantage.  

One last question (for now):

As for witnesses at trial are the teachers considered good witnesses?  Since they see the child everyday, interact emotionally and educationally?  Unfortunately she is out of state, but wonder if she could be a witness via telephone?

THANK YOU!

All proceedings in Florida, however CP in Georgia, NCP (me) in Florida.

We have been now been in court proceedings for almost a year now.  We are getting ready to go into depositions and mediation soon.

I filed for modification of custody due to mother's contempt of visitations, for which I received makeup visitation for.  Child is in Kindergarten and not doing well, missing school, sick, tardy.  Lots of other things going on but too detailed to even mention.  

My question is:

What are depositions for if the parenting evaluation is already completed?

Also, if there are blatant untruths that are quoted by the evaluator based on information from the other party, can a motion be set forth to strike the evaluation, provided that evidence is given at the hearing of that motion if indeed that can be done?

If the evaluation is striken due to inconsistencies of testimony (that isn't the right word), would a new one be ordered?  And would the evidence in the first evaluation be given to the 2nd evaluator?

As for change in custody modifications, I understand it takes a lot for judges to change custody, but in your opinion have you ever found that judges get lost in too much detail and take the easy ways out?

Out attorney suggested that we have so much evidence on the other party, that the judge wasn't smart enough to navigate through the muck.  That just doesn't seem right.  Almost as if he (the attorney) is giving up.

Thanks.
