wording of latest motion

[jyoung]

Here's hoping that IAAL or Beagle pick up the bait:

latest chapter of my saga has me receiving a bill for $291.00 from my now nine yr. old's dentist for "bleaching and trays". I have spoken to the dentist who told me he advised my ex not to have these treatments done on an eight yr. old, she persisted so he went along with it ( he now wishes he hadn't). Of course, despite joint shared custody I was never consulted.

After researching and speaking with various dentists, I have sent my ex's lawyer a cease and desist letter today requesting that the trays and solutions be returned to the dentist. I have threatened to go before the judge with this if the ex refuses. My question is regarding the nature and wording of the motion I am filing, is it a show cause or a request for injunction or some other form that would be more appropriate in this situation.

Thanks in advance for any input. JY

....besides the petition for full custody, this one is going to done on an emergency basis.

My response:

You want to file an "Order to Show Cause Re: Contempt of Court". That's a fancy way of saying "Motion", which in turn is a "mini-trial" on the issue at hand.

Good luck.

Hey, you finally getting around to filing for custody?

Thanks IAAL for your input. Beagle, have been waiting to see what develops with the parenting coordinator program ordered by the court, unfortunately, the person hired for the program has been out on sick leave for the entire month.
This new development has really knocked the wind out of me and I don't think I have any choice but to file at this point. The child is going to hate me for awhile but I really have to question judgements on my ex's part more seriously now. The kids mental and physical well being are at stake.
