This is the order word for word, there is nothing about notifying the other parent. The rest of the visitation is a standard EOW and alternating holidays, 2/3 of summer. My daughter is caught in the middle of this because first thing Ex-H did after the change was show her the court order to...

CO says: Mother shall be entitled to evening placement with DD13 from after school until 8pm two days per month. Said two days per month shall coincide with attendance at DD's extra curricular activities or other events whenever possible. Mother shall be entitled to placement with DD following...

Ex H submitted a motion to modify placement and child support. After a year long battle his motion was granted. My question is, now the lawyers are trying to change EVERYTHING in the divorce agreement. Can they even do this without a motion or hearing?? The items are listed below.... 1...

Thanks, I know what pro se is :) While my attorney may agree with you that at times I've been acting as my own lawyer, lol, I have had an attorney through out the trial and by referral a new attorney in the specialty of appeals. I'm waiting for the transcripts, then the new attorney will...

Thanks, I know what you're saying. Good call. No, the judge wasn't mad at me, he was mad at everyone equally for a "ridiculous and trivial case" and made a really stupid ruling with no basis of law. Awarding the person who brought the whole "ridiculous and trivial" motion into his...

Yes, placement has changed which gives father school year placement and mother the majority of the summer placement. It is summer, I am the mother, father is refusing to return the child per a proposal that will never make it into the order and a GAL who does not know the law and thinks she is...

Current court orders: MSA gives me placement in odd years July 4, 9am - July 5, 9am. Father to have 2 weekends per month. States shared summer placement Current temporary orders from Dec. hearing: Father to have alternating weekends from Friday 7pm - Sunday 7pm Here's where it gets...

Thank you, I do agree with what you say. These boards wouldn't even be necessary if our attorneys would actually return our phone calls and not make us wait 1-2 weeks to talk to them. I think there should be a reduction to their rates for every day they don't return a call...$175/hr if...

Our GAL is now working with us to settle custody outside court, she's become our mediator. No lawyers are present during the meeting, the first one our lawyers were available by phone and anything agreed to is subject to our attorney's approval. I was just cautioned about this by a friend as...

Son is not entirely free, he is under the very strict restrictions of basic training. Our armed forces do not just give out personal information, mom was able to research how to get a message through public relations to son to have him call or write. Son followed standard proceedures of...

That is a very good question, I believe it is detrimental due to the circumstances, so I'll explain more. Son graduated from high school he lived with dad. Only minor left is daughter lives with mom. Dad's child support doubles June 1 and dad remarries shortly after, typical child support...

How much trouble would a parent be in by withholding one visitation? It's complicated but court order says 9a-9a the next day which is a Friday (every other year for a birthday, not a regular weekly visitation). Other parent has already said he was going to pick her up at 5pm Thursday and not...

Here's Wisconsin statistics http://www.wicourts.gov/about/committees/judicialcommission/cumulativetables.htm And here's a list of actual reprimands http://www.wicourts.gov/about/committees/judicialcommission/publiccases.pdf

I guess I need one more post before I can post links for you :)

In WI GAL's are lawyers and proving incompetance to that board is laughable. I've actually enjoyed all the research and debate in preparing my case, though my lawyer just pats me on the head and is finally acknowledging my knowledge of the law. Crazy isn't it, now I'm thinking I finally know...
