I posted this on FA too, but while some of us do flip back and forth some of us don't .....




What is the name of your state? WI

One of these days I'll be done with this crap.....

short recap....

I filed motion for remedial contempt and for clarification of the court order and determination of school district......

we tried to mediate- didn't work

we were appointed GAL....everything was moving along, we have a court date for June 20

some of the letters, and also a request for totally irrelevant info from the GAL have me concerned that ex is going to try to go for the whole enchilada on wednesday, as in try to totally modify custody (in the past he has threatened to try to get sole custody)

so- there are these new request for info, obviously ex is totally bashing me to anyone who will listen, and I am scared they are listening (even though we tell people-never bash the ex)

feeling out my options here....would it be prudent for me to request a continuance on wednesday and thereby give myself some time for discovery (which the demand cannot be made soone than 30 days before court) and figure out what exactly they are up to?

I think you should go ahead with the hearing Wed.

If what you suspect turns out to be true, you can ask for a continuance then, explaining that that is not what the hearing was supposed to be about. (you did say that you are the one that filed the motion, correct? He can't just piggy bag everything he wants heard, can he?)

How likely is it that the court even has enough time to have a hearing that would take considerably longer than what is expected, anyway?

correct I did bring the motion to the court, the judge said he couldn't rule on the contempt because our order was vague nut he did see that order needed clarification and a school district determined and would move forward with that, his lawyer then filed a motion for modification of legal custody with the only basis at all identified being the school district need to be determined (we do 50/50 right now but live in seperate districts)....because of the wording of his lawyers motion I filed a motion to dismiss based on the fact there was no cause to change legal custody for a school district determination....court date set for april, day before court in April I got a call, the court date had been rescheduled for June


as far as I am aware they have provided no justification for mod except for the school district....although for the past month ex has been bashing me to kiddo's counselor and GAL...although no one will tell me the content of his complaints- resulting in- I can't defend against those allegations- very frustrating



like just this morning I return a call to GAL assistant- she wants my dad's phone #.....I (nicely) ask why, she says it's part of the GAL investigation....my dad and I have spoken 2x in the past 4 years, very estranged relationship, he lives on the east coast, has nothing to do with me, my daughter or anything, I ask her again what my father could possibly offer that would help determine the school district....she just says, well it's just part of the investigation....grrrrr
