Opposing Counsel conflict of interest?

[stealth2]

What you're not getting is whether you care about the time passed or not is moot. If several years have gone by and only NOW are you considering raising the point of potential conflict - you've waited too long. You should have addressed it with the court as soon as you found out about the relationship. You're plum out of luck.

lemme see if I can ask this question in the simplest possible way.

if I just found out about this relationship TODAY, would this be something that would be considered a conflict of interest??

if you dont know the answer, then dont respond. I would like to know regardless of whether or not I can use it--what dont you understand about that?? I am not here to whine about custody, flame single moms, etc etc etc. 2 pages of this thread and nobody has even attempted to answer the only question ever posed in the first post.

The answer is the same no matter how you try to change the story or what your new attorney claims they are going to do. Remember it is still the best interest of YOUR child, not who has the most money, or it the mother has to have the child in childcare while she works. This is found in this section of code and I will let you do your own homework, but there is no conflict of interest and too late to challenge. Normally I would print it out and direct you to it, but with your attitude I'll let you pay your attorney to inform you, afterall thay is what you pay them to do , isn't it?.

Strider,

I have just recently read your posts and would like to make a few comments.

First, the fact that you lived on the other side of the country when the child was born pretty much guaranteed that custody orders went the way that they did in the beginning. Your attorney didn't do you wrong...it was just to be expected with your situation.

"Reasonable" visitation wasn't good for you, but since you weren't going to get visitation out of state with an infant, it probably seemed the most practical at the time. You have never really specified how she has interfered with visitation so its hard for anyone to give you any advice there. The only specifics you have given is that she won't allow you to take the child out of state. She has no obligation to allow you to do that, so she isn't in "contempt" for that. In fact, if you have made any threats to take custody or keep the child her actions would be considered COMPLETELY normal.

It is unrealistic to expect that the judge is going to give you custody of a young child who has spent very little time with you. The fact that she is in daycare and your wife doesn't work is completely irrelevant from a legal standpoint. The fact that you make 3x the money she does is irrelevant as well. You will not get primary custody unless she is legally unfit.

Also, its a MAJOR mistake to call the mother "psychotic" and I hope that you DO NOT use that phrasiology in front of anyone with any authority in your case. Even if her friends HAVE told you things, that is NOT a doctor's diagnosis.

I suspect that you have caused some of your own difficulties.
