Ok, fair enough. Thanks

Ok makes sense. I will listen to my lawyer too, and see what he says. I didn't think he was too clear about the process, which is why I'm here, but I think he will be very good in court, and if it goes to trial. He's often out in trials so I know he's got experience and knows how to handle...

I asked him about an injunction, but waiting on his reply. He did say if they didn't accept the temporary order he would try to expedite the hearing, but I don't know what will happen at a hearing to change anything. I'm meeting him tomorrow, but I want to be prepared for the meeting.

That's correct. I read it on another forum that it was possible. If I have to wait for the hearing regarding keep what parenting time I had, then that is acceptable to me. I will still see my children in that time and 30 days isn't too long to wait. But at the hearing, will there be something...

So she got served and is saying she's going back to the original order now. My lawyer thinks that this temporary change might just be for pre decree, and we therefore might not get it. I've seen else where I might be able to get a temporary ex parte injunction so that I can keep seeing my kids...

My attorney works for me. He asked in the initial consultation what is it that I want, do I want 50-50, full custody, residential parent etc. By manage, I mean, I want to first of all, let him know what it is I want. I don't want to ask for something and not really know what it is I'm getting or...

I did my best to build up time to see my own children, as I am just as much of their parent as their mom is. I did offer to 'watch' (parent) my own children as I was only seeing them 4 overnights per month at the time, whereas they saw their mom 26. That doesn't strike me as equal co-parent. If...

Is that a form that can be download or is it something the lawyer draws up?

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I know she could agree, what I'm asking is, what is the process if she does agree? Is mediation etc still required?

ok thanks. Once she sees that I'm starting this, can she request that she just agrees to it all so mediation etc doesn't need to take place? As I feel that she is going to just give in quickly due to her limited funds, and also as she has too many other things going on etc. I think the only...

I get the kids to sit down with me, and I help them do their homework with them and make sure they get it all done. They always arrive on Sunday with their previous weeks homework not even started, so we spend the next few evenings catching up on that. Then we spend the next few evenings doing...

I do 100% of their homework and reading logs (for my week and I have to catch up for her weeks). Her teachers have said they understand that she's 'too busy' when it's late from her weeks. Their mom has admitted over email that she's too busy and she even said "it's on them to get it done"...

Thank you so much OhioGal! I very much appreciate it! I will definitely read the local rules soon (I still have my kids right now, so when they go to bed tonight or back to their moms tomorrow, I'll get to it). I forgot to mention I am also wanting to change residential for schooling, as it's...

Warren county, thanks for sending the pm! That is a huge fear of mine. However, I strongly believe in a few years, when her 2 other younger children reach school age, and she completes the degree she's doing (she's voluntarily not working to do this), that she will try to take it back to that...

What is the name of your state? Ohio I was divorced 5 years ago, I have two children 7 and 9. In the current shared parenting plan I got every other weekend and one evening mid week. For the last 2-3 years I've actually been getting my kids a little more than 50-50, which I have documented in a...
