Hi there,
Friend is scheduled for a CC soon. Separated almost 2 years. Joint custody. Child is 10 1/2 and has been going between both homes 50/50. Claims against friend are that she was/is abusive to ex (bio mom) which is a total lie, was never a primary parent (even though she has been one of two primary parents since childs birth), and basically treated ex poorly for the years they were together. The documents to date are full of self absorbed tid bits of information slandering my friend and has absolutely NOTHING to do with the child.
My question: if the ex is so focused on being a victim and not the best interests of the child, does a judge usually see this? My friend has only been concilliatory in responding and keeps it about the child so as not to incite conflict, which will negate joint custody. Everybody can bring up stories from the past about what their ex partners did to them. The child is happy, well adjusted, and doing wonderfully. What can one expect based on the lies and self centeredness of the EX? They have not been together for over 2 years - what happened between them as a couple should have nothing to do with the child's best interests. Is this so?
