Custody Trial - FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gatordad]

Just to update.....

I am moving out of state and my ex-wife and I share..get this--NO PRIMARY RESIDENCE ESTABLISHED!! ( I had it taken away from her in 2002)  I filed a custody lawsuit in 4/2004 and she has fought me the whole way.  We had a custody evaluator (Which I had to pay for 5K) take from January to April 2005 to complete, but stated that it WOULD be in the childs best interest to move. (1.) my wife's son and my daughter have a very close relationship and it would be detrimental for both if they were separated. (2.)My ex-wife is financially dependent on her "sugardaddy", and provides no stable support for herself or the child and (3.) the child flat out wants to go with me and has told both myself and 2 therapists that she wants to go. (she actually told her mother in front of one of the therapists.) My daughter is 11 and almost 11 1/2.  Our trial is scheduled for late summer and we shall see how the Judge interprets all of this information.  For now I will just drown myself in the paperwork of financial follow-up her attorney has embarked to provied him with exxon and visa receipts from 4 years ago.......

Now my ex-is requesting a fee hearing because she does not have a job and they (her and her Atty) want to run up the legal bills so I will have to pay for them. The saga continues.....

Why doesn't she have a job, you can argue she is an able bodied woman fully capable of working and that she and her atty are using the court system as a financial crutch.
