I filed a petition for modification and asked about getting a guardian ad litem. I don't know how to react because the things she says (lies) make me mad and the cop that was there one time said my attitude is going to get me in trouble but he also said he would've taken my side. She lies and it makes me mad because what if one day people actually start to believe her? The judge hasn't ever fallen for it. I am in the start of a modification which I filed a week and a half ago but I'm confused because the lawyer I talked to said do not put evidence in with the petition wait for her response but then it is mediation but I was planning on walking out of mediation because I'm not sure if I'm wanting to even waste my time because the last time we sat for 4 hours came up with a plan and she said forget it and walked out but I won't agree to anything less than her getting every other weekend in mediation because I truely believe I can have her parental rights terminated if I wanted this is the record of the man she is leaving our child with. posted below. It just makes me mad. The judge isn't even willing to hear anything about the DCF investigations or anything else in a contempt hearing but this also didn't qualify for an emergency hearing but I am pretty sure the judge won't have a problem giving me full custody from what I now consider joint after all of the things shes done. Any inputs? below the background from one county *this is not his whole criminal history his children were taken from him 3 to be exact.* I will post a little of my documentation if anyone cares to give me some input and tell me how I can turn this documentation into evidence to use against her. I also had a question can personal statements from friends and family help in court? Was it illegal for me to record our conversation that we had face to face at the police station during an exchange of our child without her knowing? Can I use that in court? If it was illegal what kind of punishment can the judge do if I start playing the recording in court? If all I have to worry about is her suing me then thats fine just wondering. the rest of this post is background of ex's boyfriend and some documentation.

TR- FAILURE TO PAY TOLL
March 15th
I texted Shirel to ask if Jeremiah has school tomorrow she replied "no"
March 16th
I called head start they said Shirel has everything Jeremiah needs to start at his new school he will be in a class with 5 students and 2 teachers. What upsets me is that he was supposed to start on March 5th 2012. I went up to the new school they said he hasn't started yet and that his mother was saying she was going out of town which she said to head start two weeks ago. They had him down for school to start on the 5th and had a diagnosis of developmentally delayed. I had been told by a few people (My doctor, the ER doctor, Jeremiah's doctor) to have him checked for autism I don't believe it is autism either but I do think that there is something wrong which is causing him to be behind. He was not potty trained until he was 3 years old. He also didn't start talking or knowing his numbers or abc's until he started head start which was at 4 years old. I know he is smart and I know that he knows what is going on but I am expecting more out of him.
9-19-2011 7pm
Jeremiah and me were waiting at the police from 5:45pm until 7pm we just got back and she started talking bad about me so I hung up. She called back and said I said 10:15pm and I have a message she is starting stuff over and over and if he has school in the morning how is she going to pick him at 10:15pm he should be sleeping.
I went to the courthouse today and filed an emergency motion with the police report no luck. It seems as if no one is going to pay any attention I'm guessing emotional abuse is not any form of abuse in the law or to police/child and families. Now I have never violated a single item on our court order and she has violated it time after time and thats why she doesn't take it serious because she gets away with it everytime with only being told don't do it anymore.
sorry I don't know if this is safe to post all of this here or not thats a little bit I don't know if i leave it as is or change all of my documentation to support my allegations in my petition.
