Hello All,
Just want to update and ask a few questions, if it`s too much to ask.
I had a case conference today.
So, 2 days ago, I got an offer to settle from the Other party in which he agrees to give me the Sole Decision making (he knew he won`t get it, as he hasn`t seen the child for over 7 months, even though he again, falsely accused me today, I was the one who severely restricted him from seeing the child). He agreed to self-impute himself.
However, today, all that changes.
1. Agreed to the Sole Decision Making
2. I have asked for the Supervised visitaiton (my lawyer did, as I was not asked what is it I need). Judge said, SUpervised visitations is never good idea for the child so it`s a BIG NO!!!
3. He asked the Respondend Father`s Lawyer about the child support. THe lawyer said, the main starves to death and does not have much money to pay even for daycare.
The concrete number was not given for the child support. The judge asked what kind of job the father doing. The lawyer said - CONSTRUCTION - concrete finisher.
The judge said, the construstion job is hot so don`t tell me he makes less money. With so many previous cases, I want you to come up with the reasonable number and asked the lawyer to go to the breakout room.
5 minutes later, the Lawyer came back saying - we are still calculating with my friend. The judge said, are you guys trying to put all the financial pressure on Mother? He allowed the lawyer to go back to the breakout room to continue the calculation.
Came back after another 5 minutes. They said, it`s not enough. We need more time.
The judge gave another 2 minutes.
They came back saying - we are afraid, we need more time to calculate the child support and and daycare expenses and cannot provide that amount now.
The judge said - fine. Come back next months. But the MOther will be allowed to bring a motion towards the proper child support and I will review it.
My lawyer, in the end, made an attempt for the Supervised visitation, and the judge said - Perhaps, the MOther has her reasons to believe that the child is safer when the visits are supervised temporarily and reviewed by the impartial person (the child is 2 years old). The Judge asked for the prooves provided in a Motion hearing for me to defend my point.
Also, the Judge said that, I can reduce or increase the number of hours of visitation.
Obviously, I am fully prepared to defend myself against all the false accusations and have everything ready to be presented.
Now my question is: His lawyer says that I have severely restricted the Father from seeing the child, even though, when I sent the Father 2 emails, his lawyer was CCC-ed. Can the Lawyer lie like that and can he be called our in court?
2. There were plenty of text messages where I was asking for schedules and giving so many times to spend with child. All those messages were completely ignored.
I am glad that I got the SOle custody. However, the same was asked back in JUly, last year. On Decembber, 2021, teh REsponden father, to look good, asked for the Joint Decision making, dragged the whole process and only 2 days before the court appearance, he changed his mind. But it`s too late, as I am already in a pool of debt. Will the judge grant the cost award in this case?
Now, the best part: the ex appeared as if he was homeless. Wore his winter jacket, appeared sick, and the face swallen due to dental work. Not sure if I can believe him. But he would spit on the paper towel during zoom meeting, walked around nervosuly, removed the cotton from his mouth and threw it out, while we all see during the zoom conference. Then, he got off his car, mad, and began walking in somewhere inside of the building, while watching around.
Does it consired as a disrespect towards the Judge?
