Hi All,
I have 50/50, but needless to say I foresee myself in court on an annual basis defending our agreement and why it should remain in place as-is. She signed agreement and should abide by it no matter what, unless I do the unthinkable and move to Texas or develop an addiction or neglect kids.... Some parents just don’t get it, and try to punish ex for the failed relationship by keeping kids away. It is terrible.
My question is, is there a mechanism to prevent someone from constantly filing motions to change? Or having applications (MTC) thrown out right away without having to do the “dance”? Can a judge order someone to not be able to file for 5 years, or something in line like that? To let families live peacefully rather than in constant “court mode”? I’ve heard of litigants wanting their way at all costs “judge shopping” where you just keep filing until you get the right judge on the right day/right mood. I don’t want to find myself constantly in court having to justify myself and defend/protect my kids time with their dad. In my case, it may have been helpful to actually go to trial, have her lose, and that would leave such a bad taste ensuring she never wants to go back to that awful place.
