Immunization Problem

[joni]

file a contempt motion for missed parenting time.....every time.  eventually, I hope, it would piss off the judge and reflect badly on her.  I wish we had done that during my husband's divorce proceeding but our atty discouraged us.  I think it was a huge mistake.  

It gets expensive.  Maybe you can file these motions on your own.  Ask for a bond to be placed on mother, held by court.  If any visitations are missed, she forfeits the bond.  

Your a kind man to rationalize this with her BP and her father and husband controlling her.  But you have to draw the line in the sand and say enough is enough...it all stops now.  We are all here for the same reason....BS by CPs.  I don't know why they do it.  I don't know how they can look their children in the eye and say I love you and in the same breath screw the NCP in the name of their child...using their child.

We drew our line back in February.  We allowed the mother to move from MI to NY (we're in IL) in exchange for JLC rights and privledges (no title though).  The first thing we did at the winter break was take my SD to the eye doctor and dentist.  As a 6 y.o., she had never been to either.  Been telling her mom that her teeth bother her and she can't see at school.

Teeth were in horrible condition, one needed to be pulled, eyesight was -200.  Mother stroked to hear what we did.  Said we were trying to make her look negligent (well...if the shoe fits) and look like a bad mom.  Mom was more upset that she didn't get to pick out her daughter's glass frames (something that a mommy should do with her daughter....WTF?????) than she was about her daughter's poor vision.

Mom's atty called my husband's atty.  Atty phoned me and I told her, per my DH, she should take better care of her daughter.  If she won't, he will, he's got the CO to do this.  End of story.  Go back to court, change the CO.

It was a very liberating time for us.  This was the first time we told her to pound dirt.  Enough kissin' her butt.  It's gotten us nowhere in 4 years.  You know what though, much less BS since we did that and drew our line in the sand.  

sixstringdad....as my grandma always says, you gotta lie down to be a doormat.  as long as your MO is sincere for your child and in your child's best interest, follow your heart and do the right thing....for you daughter.  everything else will fall into place.
