The X has been given custody- I had legal custody of DD for past 7 yrs. Judge has only given me the basic parenting time per our state (Ne.) w/ phone parenting time 2x per wk. , 30mins each eve. (Try to keep a 9yr. old on the phone for 30 mins.- she just doesn't do that) Hannah Montanna distracts her every time!!
The judge refuses to modify the parenting time until we go to mediation- ever try to reason w/ an unreasonable person? Well, on this site- you all know what I'm saying.
What can I bring to mediation, as far as documentation- etc... to show how unreasonable the X has been. (I have many nasty text messages, e-mails, etc... to show the X's behavior).
I am trying my very best to try and keep DD out of the middle of the issues between me and the X, but it becomes very difficult as the X involves DD in almost all of our texts/messages back and forth between each other. DD told me tonight during evening meal that the X told her I could not take her out of the city limits for the holiday- "it's against the law". (I am taking her 30 mins. outside of our city limits to spend the holiday at a riverside cabin with our extended family). Nowhere in the temp. order does it state that I cannot take her outside our city (nor our state, for that matter) during my parenting time.
X also texted me last week, stating that I could not contact DD via phone more than once per week, as X was, "getting sick of you sending text messages every night asking DD to call you." Judges temp order stated differently.
X also owes me over $1100 in unreimbursed daycare expenses as per our previous court order- which were never paid. The list goes on and on..
Some advice for mediation would be greatly appreciated......... kinda losing my mind here.
Thank you in advance- JadedMom
