I'm writing my case conference brief, as well as a notice of motion for access which I'll be filing next week along with a general affidavit with evidence to be added to the case file. My initial case conference is being held at the beginning of June, and I'm hoping to schedule the motion for a week or two after that date (obviously asap).
Up until about a week ago I was allowed the opportunity to see my kids once a week for 1-3 hours depending on the location where we would meet. This all changed when I asked for more details about how the kids were doing during the day (apparently it's annoying to have to share details of your children's daily lives with your ex, who doesn't get to see them often). She has since told she will not longer be responding to my emails, and to route all communication through her lawyer.
Her lawyer is not responding to my requests to discuss temporary access, and my ex is also not responding to my inquiries about why her lawyer is not responding. My lawyer has advised me to be patient and file the necessary items I mentioned above...and then follow through with the court process. She says that I'm welcome to keep making requests, but should limit the frequency so they don't become harassing.
Up to this point I've made it a point not to get family involved (whether my own or in-laws), but I'm wondering if it would be helpful to reach out to the grandparents via email to see if they would help opening a dialog. I don't think they would approve of my ex's behavior if they knew what she was doing. I realize blood is thicker than water, but is it worth the effort or inadvisable?
Interested in the communities thoughts on this.
