In danger at our house

justmakingthebest's picture

Well, in my attempts to fire our lawyer this morning, we find out that BM's attorney filed a motion to modify custody the day before we did. She gives no details but claims that SS is in danger with us and she should have sole custody and no visitation with us.

We obviously did not fire our lawyer. He believes that this is a result in us taking SS to the genetics clinic to prove that SS does not have Elhors-Danlos. 

Holding BM's Attorney To Hearing Date

DH filed for the motion to modify Pro Se on Friday. The hearing is scheduled for Oct 31st which is really fast based on our previous expriences. One of our many concerns right now is that BM's attorney will push back the hearing. The schedule right now is great because it will be before the holiday's and if by some miracle we are awarded holiday time, we will actually get  him for the first time in 6 years!! 

Decided against the letter and just going for custody modification himself

DH, MIL and I did some talking. Instead of alerting BM's attorney that we know he never filed what he was supposed to, we are just going to use that little bullet point in our own case. We decided to go for it on our own! Here are our "changes in circumstances":

Blog Hog All Week!! -- Letter to Judge

justmakingthebest's picture

Since BM's attorney refuses to sign the journal entry ordered by the judge for summer visitation and our lawyer obviously charges us for every attempt to get his signature. I called the courthouse to find out our next step to make BM's lawyer do what he was supposed to. The clerk was very upset to hear that we had not gotten the journal entry in and that this has been dragging along since 2014. I did my best southern belle (mid west people seem to love that) and gave her a brief synopsys of what was happening. She told us to write a letter to the judge.

How yesterday/last night unfolded

DH went to have lunch with SS at school. Since his phone had "not been working" and we talked him through different settings and couldn't figure it out, DH was told by BM to take a look at it when he got to SS state. DH asked for it. SS said he left it at home (NO WAY THAT WAS TRUE). After school, DH stayed to watch football and take him to dinner since BM finally replied. DH finally got his hands on his phone. Guess who has a new phone number and was pulled off our phone plan without our consent?

Kidnapping?

BM2 told DH that she was fine if DH picked up SS after school today- vebally after we did a police welfare check on him a couple of days ago. It had been 2 weeks since SS responded to him and BM wouldn't respond either. 

BM will not confirm what she said writting- via text or email.

What are the chances that this is a set up because all we actually have in writting is a "no, you can't see him" from a month ago. 

Why Why Why????

BM1 has been quiet for the last 5 months. Not a word from her. Suddenly she FB messages me (We aren't friends but you can still message). So here goes:

BM1: Please give me SS's #, I have been trying to reach DH several times. ** Note, DH was working last night until 1am. I didn't even talk to him yesterday.**

Me: I will pass your request to DH.  SS18's number hasn't changed in 5 years though, I know we have given it to you in the past **Note, I know I shouldn't have said it, but I feel froggy again today**

I am really trying

As I said before I'm really trying to let go. The only thing that we are still continuing to "fight for" is this summer visitation for 3 1/2 weeks.I got an email from the lawyer today that really upset me! this is where BM's lawyer is not responding to our lawyer for the journal entry that the judge ordered. Last week I emailed asking for an update and told him that neither BM or SSstb14 are responding to texts, calls, or emails and that we were considering suspending SS's cell phone. I also told him we were giving up the fight.

OT- Honeymoon we never had

Since DH and I never got our real wedding- I mean what we had was great but we planned it all in 4 days and I ordered a dress from Amazon so that it would get there in time. My whole family missed it. But we had all our kids there (BM refused to let SS come to our wedding for those that didn't remember/were unaware). It worked. It was CHEAP! Like less than $200 and we were done!
