Are you serious? You really believe that going to court without the client you represent is acceptable? And the result should have been him WITH me... not him alone.

No, no- I called him every few weeks asking when the court date was going to be. I was constantly told we didn't have one yet and he would call when we finally had one. I know it's not true because the phone company puts on an automatic message saying the old number has been disconnected, and...

What is the name of your state? GA Three years ago I hired an attorney to help me in a contempt action against my ex. We went to mediation quickly and smoothly... then I waited for our court date. It took about 8 months for us to finally get there. Now I know GA courts are backed up, as...

Do you have a court order giving you custody, or you have just had him without one all these years? From what I understand, "Possession is 9/10's of the law.. even when it comes to kids.... If he goes with her and you have no court order saying he must return, I think she could keep him if she...

My ex did this too. It also was dismissed. CPS has to investigate, but the guy told me they go through it all the time and they know when it's made up by a unhappy parent. I don't know what to tell you about making it stop, but I would definitely ask the judge about it and be sure to take all...

Sorry to butt in here... but what does that mean?? TIA!!

Short and sweet- the answer is no.

You have a court date set already??? How did you get it so fast? What about mediation? Or does that differ from state to state?

Do you have proof he doesn't show, or is this going to be a "he said/she said" thing? Actually, no- it won't be, thanks to what xh started. Every time he comes to visit, he brings a cop with him. Not sure why, but now knowing that it has helped me, it's a great idea. Second, he sends...

A- you missed the part where I said it's not true that I stop him from seeing the kids. The fact is, he just doesn't come, then makes up this silly contempt lie. He just doesn't realize how much trouble his is now in...

I don't know all the rules, but here's what's happened in our case. We have joint custody also, but it means little. I still have primary custody, the kids live with me and xh has standard visitation... which he rarely comes for. When I researched the term "joint custody" a few years back, I...

Lol- I just meant the blah blah blah because it's all the usual stuff at the end. D is asking that I pay his attorneys fees for this contempt action and E is asking that I be held in jail until I purge myself of this contempt. BTW- what does the a and b stuff mean? Process and service- what...

ok- I went to get the paperwork and here's what it says: 4. "Final Judgement and Decree provided... that Plaintiff have "standard visitation" and summer will be with the children for 2 weeks that are consecutive.... 5. Defendent refuses to allow Plaintiff to visit with the minor...

What is the name of your state? GA My ex has filed a contempt action stating that I have refused to allow him to visit with the kids. It's not true, but I was wondering... When we go to court, can he ask for visitation to be modified? Or does that all have to be written out (exactly what he...
