Well we got the bill from the attorney in the mail yesterday. So far we have spent $3420.54 and what did we get for it? The judge gave DH the tax exemption every other year, which we already had according to the divorce decree. The judge basically upheld it. Dh's wages will not be garnished, he was late once, in January, when she was out of state for the month and the check was waiting on her when she got back. All of BM 's contempt charges against DH were dropped.

Can anyone tell me what is the point of mediation if the BM is a liar, untrustworthy and a control freak? Instead of finding BM in contempt he ordered mediation for her to prove herself and if she doesn't then she will be found in contempt. The only thing that I can see to mediate is whether BF should pay the couseling and chiropractor fees. How do you mediate a violation she has already committed?

Just talked to soon to be DH before he went in to the court room. His attorney said BM's attorney is going to focus on the tax exemption and not paying our half of the chiropractor and counseling bills. He is sure we will get her on the contempt charge for her numerous violations of the Joint Parenting Agreement. On the tax exemption it could go either way, BM says he should not get it every other year as we no longer keep ss for weekend visitation every other week.

Well we got BM's financial info in the mail today from Fiancee's attorney. After going over and doing a little checking, fiancee just realized that she set up a PO Box for her mail 8 months before there was even any talk of separating and that she set up a bank account then to. Obviously she planned this long before he had any idea that she was unhappy in the marriage. I think it is sinking in now that she totally played him from the beginning of the relationship. The problem I am having is that now he is totally bummed out and saying he can't trust anyone.
