Need some advice.
Recently had the OCL involved and their recommendation was for myself to have sole custody of our child during the school year. Alternating weekends and one nite a week for the X. During the summer keep as is - alternating weeks which it has been for 1-1/2 years. X refused and said he will change, and to give him till next year for him to prove it ?
During the past 1-1/2 years I have gone threw 2 motions, 1 settlement conference and have an upcoming settlement/trial management conference in September. My lawyer is putting together a settlement offer to see if he will change his mind on child matters, though I know it's just a waste of time and money (which I don't have). I have asked my lawyer if we could do a motion on the OCL's recommendation. I haven't heard anything back as of yet.
Not sure what to do as I know the lawyers just want to drag this out . . . settlement offer (X will not accept), settlement/trial management conference (X will not accept), and then what's next, another settlement offer, trial, etc ? My thinking is that the only way this can be settled and a decision made is through a motion - am I correct in thinking this way. I would love any advice you can give.
Many thanks!
