Default case conference tomorrow

Wish me luck!

His brief was 14, yes 14 pages long and FULL of mud-slinging. I just spent 6 hours responding to every point so my lawyer will have the ammunition to defend if necessary. Of course you all taught me well and my brief focussed solely on my daughter and what is best for her. (ok there was a *little* mud-slinging, but it was relevant to her best interests) But I did not focus on the abuse except where it was relevant to her.

Anyway, I'm hoping we will come out tomorrow with some direction to settle the financials and a new schedule that I proposed. If he doesn't want to negotiate after tomorrow I fear it will actually get to trial.

I'll update you when I get home. Thanks in advance for the postive vibes!

Go to work.

Press the matter forward. If it goes nowhere, ask for a settlement conference. It's just more of the same. Do not settle for another useless case conference. Push the matter towards trial, and settlement!!!

DDTE I will press for a settlement conference as we are so close and he is just being unco-operative. I hope the judge gives it to him.

I'm off now! Thanks for the support everyone!

Oops, erased the rest of my post!

Got an order made giving me every Thursday (for counselling) and him every Wednesday (in compensation) until counselling is over. We will continue the week about. Division of holidays, directions for special family events and compensatory time within 14 days. Decided how CS will be determined.

Really nothing big changed except that he sat down at the table and accepted many of the things I had originally offered. We are going to attempt to settle the financials ourselves through email.

I did feel a little sorry for him though. He is obviously taking this really badly, even after 7 months. Guess being controlling does not necessarily mean you are actually able to take control of yourself. This is where the karma comes in.

Billiechic, Im sorry I forgot did you represent yourself? And did he have a lawyer?
Guess nothing came about custody?
