Hi everyone...hope you are all well
Looking for opinions...
I`m a new dad to a 9 month old....mom and I were rocky after the birth but we have come around and things are going well, visitation is going very well. I`ve been paying support since I did the paternity test that we did just after the birth.
She lives 5 hrs away, so it makes this whole situation interesting.
I`m self represented, I signed an order that I thought was reasonable(in her lawyers office)....it gave her primary residence. and I have the right to third party records....and the right to make major decisions concerning the child....but after talking to a duty counsel(told him the long story) he said I should strike out those sections on residence and decision making as I have a very good case for joint custody with primary residence with the mom.
We then went to court on my motion for joint custody with residence with the mom, the judge would not hear a word of my motion and requested that I re-sign the agreement in front of her. I got up and left the court at that point without signing.
So now I have a temporary court order in front of me(mailed) that her lawyer is asking me to initial under the judges name/date......
Can I cross out the sections residence/decision making ....leave the support and visitation items and sign it like that?
Should I just not sign this and what happens if I don't?
Thanks everyone...have a great day
