My sons settlement conference is coming up next week.
Up to this point his ex has a temp order for one weekend a month (or to be agreed upon) supervised visitation, based on her allegations of drug addiction, abandonment of his son and criminal record.
All of which are untrue.
But the judge doing do diligence ordered 3 random drug tests and criminal background check.
All have come back clean.
Things have been running fairly smoothly until the Offer to Settle.
My son received her offer ....Sole Custody, Friday at 5 to Sunday at 5, visitation to be at my (Grandmother) home, with myself as providing the transportation.
He replied with Shared Custody with Thursday evening until Wednesday evening every other week visitation until the child is in school (hes 3).
Visitation was agreed upon for a theme park vacation first week in August from Thursday to Monday returning his son on Wed morning. (non refundable).
Upon receiving his offer to settle she disallowed the visit changing her story 3 times when asked why.
As grandparents we have maintained a very good relationship with the mother and have enjoyed a very close relationship with our grandson.
She has asked us on many occasions to take him and have on average had him at least one full week a month.
Now we are cut off as well.
This is heartbreaking for all...up until this point we thought this would be cut and dry.
Her allegations are all made up and will be proven so.
She is immature and the texts she send us are quite dramatic...using such statement as "I cant believe you want to rip a child from his mothers arms".
She also stated that because my son is working he wouldnt need to see his son during the week....she is a "stay at home mom", that we all are paying for. Plus she does not have a drivers licence or car.
She has a lawyer, again that we all pay for and my son is self rep'ed.
4 main questions
1. Should an email be sent to her lawyer letting him know what she has recently pulled.
2. Can he put forth to the lawyer a new offer to settle reducing the visitation to Thurs evening to Mon evening...(our thought there is maybe this will keep this out of trial)
3. How can he request a new temp order for new visitation days, thus changing the existing temp order
4. Does it sounds as he will need a lawyer. (money is very tight and he doesn't qualify for any legal aid)
Im sorry for the length and sounding bitter we are now just so scared that things can go terribly wrong.
Reaching out to you all for advise.
