I am trying to secure full-time employment during normal business hours (9-530). Current final judgment states my pick-up time of my daughter at 5:10 p.m., as I was working a job back then that I finished up at 5:00 p.m.
I have been unemployed for six months. I asked former husband if he could keep her an extra 30 minutes twice a week to accept a full-time position and he told me it was not his problem and to "knock myself out" bringing him back to court.
Also, he takes her every Saturday from 3-7pm and that breaks up every single weekend so neither of us can take her to visit out-of-town family. This whole petition will actually give him more time with her, but he just wants to fight with me on those stupid few minutes.
My ex-attorney (ex because I can no longer afford him) sent a letter to his attny on 10/28 to ask for mediation on this matter. As of this date, I have had no response at all.
My main issue in the modification request is to be able to secure any full-time position should it be a 9-530 schedule.
I filed the supplemental petition for modification parenting plan / other relief and all other documents to be filed. It was served on him via sheriff.
His attorney then filed a motion to dismiss my petition saying I did not FILE the papers properly. The petition was, in fact, FILED properly but not SERVED properly. (I left off the last page that shows it was sworn to).
So, I had him re-served via alias summons with the entire petition, including that back page.
I then filed an answer to his motion to dismiss stating all of the above and attached the new Notice of Service to my answer.
Did I do all this right? What is the next step? A hearing on this? Are they just trying to buy time to file an answer to the petition? What are my chances of getting the court to grant this modification?
Obviously I am Pro Se.
