What is the name of your state? Indiana I am going into court on the 31st of March with contempt charges against my ex-girlfriend over visitation, specifically Thanksgiving.
Here is what I got. My daughter said I was not having her at Thanksgiving because she had made plans with her mother and stepdad for Thanksgiving day. Then her mother also told me that I could not have her because she had made plans. So consequently I was not allowed to pick her up.
Then she pretty much tried to refuse me at Christmas, her and my daughter both. Finally I told her and my daughter that I was coming to get her. So I picked her up and then I called my attorney and sat up an appointment. He told me not to return her when her or her mother said but I was to wait and let her mother come and get her on the time and date the papers stated.
Now our court date has been sat for the Thanksgiving issue. My daughter told me this weekend that her mother told her that I said I was coming to get her regardless on Thanksgiving and that I never showed up.
My daughter knows thats a lie. But I know her mother is going to go into court now and lie.
I decided after the Thanksgiving issue that I was hooking a tape up on my phone. I have my ex on tape at Christmas refusing me and telling me that I did not have a choice and that our daughter had plans during my time. She is also saying in the background while I was talking to my daughter that my daughter is almost 13 and old enough to make her own decision.
So here is my question. If I go into court and she lies, will I need to prove that she is a liar. Or will it just be cut and dry? He said, she said? I am tired of all of this.
Now everytime I have my daughter she always calls and I do not feel that I can not let her talk to her mother and then all I get is attitude. I had a problem with my daughter and her homework and told her to bring it back the next day when I would pick her up. Well guess what mom told her she did not have to and if I had a problem with it to take it up with her. She had 19 answers wrong and out of the 11 that were right she did not show her work so yet again she would of got an F.
Our papers state that we have joint custody with her being the primary caregiver. Doesn't that mean we have joint legal? So shouldn't I have the right to help my daughter with her homework and be a parent in every way possible. I tried to make her a dental appointment and was told I could only do it on my nights and that I could not take her out of school if that was the only time. I take care of all of her dental needs and up till this year all medical, even as far as if she was sick and needed to go.
Also can I request some form of mediation or counsel for all of these problems. If so does anyone know how much it would cost?
Please someone give me advice, I know i have an attorney but we are not scheduled to discuss whats going to go on until next week.
