Today, I had requested that I get a travel consent order, I had self represented against my ex's lawyer.
Is it me or sometimes, no matter what you say, the judge simply doesn't listen and makes his own reasoning which blows me away and really crushes my spirit in what we call justice.
On our court order, we are entitled to only one vacation per year. My ex took two vacations this year, and my ask was that I would be entitled the same as I only took one vacation.
Lawyer said, since this is out of country, my client never has consented to child leaving country. I responded with her passport application she made last year to take him out of country.
Lawyer said, it is only one week as per court order and we need to follow this, he should not be making his own rules. I responded back with the email my ex sent me saying she already has taken two vacations and I said she is the one violating the court order not I.
Lawyer said, there are concerns around a child abuse allegation with client. I responded that the file has been closed and it was proved false. She has made numerous allegations that have been proven false.
I said to the judge that what I am asking for is simply fairness here as if she is taking two, I can take two as well.
However, the judge basically said, he will not do it because he doesn't wnat to change the order and therefore are not allowed to go on vacation.
On one hand i understand he wants us to follow the court order but how is that fair or am I just out for lunch here?
I don't get this, so basically she has unilaterally now had an extra week of vacation and she gets away with it?
I was even told by legal counsel that my reasons were solid and asked if she can represent and she said no, your reasons are valid!
I feel dejected and defeated. Can people maybe share their experiences of where they've lost but in the end have won? I currently have primary residence of him....so at least I have that?
