Without getting into a detailed history, we (Bio Dad and Step-Mommy to a 6 Year Old Son and 3 Year Old Daughter) have been dealing with motions, hearings and orders for over a year now and over the past 6 months were awarded interim custody of 6YOS and 3YOD.
Our next court date is to set out a final order for custody and residency (children currently reside with us, 6YOS attends school in our area, 3YOD is being enrolled for September and Bio Mom sees children every second weekend - no overnight stays with her, as we await medical records, as they pertain to past and present mental health issues - so we have a little over 95% custody at the moment - but no support orders in place) and also to set the agenda and date for all other matters (as we understand it, this is where we get into the financial aspects) to finally go to trial.
For those of you who are currently (or have in the past, been) involved in such Family Law Matters, what orders and/or restrictions did you ask the court to endorse, as they pertain to Custody/Access/Support/Medical/Dental/Schooling/Extra Curricular Activities? I'm sure there are items we're overlooking and that is precisely why we are here!
This site is a wealth of information and we feel very fortunate to have an opportunity to be members of this community. However, due to our time constraints, we couldn't possibly review all the relevant threads and so we thought we'd jump right in and query our fellow forum users!
Please hit us up with any suggestions or experiences that might be relevant to our case!
Thank you all in advance!
