We have a trial date!!
Ok so we finally have a trial date for SO and BM's divorce. Its only taken 7 years to get to this point! I met SO 2 years ago.
So my question, BM's attorney has asked for a criminal back ground check on me. Is she allowed to do this? I don't have anything part from a parking ticket but it feels like a huge invasion of privacy when the divorce between SO and BM, not me!! They separated 5 years before I met SO. What happens if I'm called as a witness in the trial, has anyone got any good advice\tips?
SO's attorney and the GAL are wanting SO to get 50/50 custody and they tired to push him to go for 100% custody but we feel the kids would suffer more by BM psycho games as she would be relentless if we won full custody.
My second question is if SO was awarded 50% custody but he only took the skids for 30% of the time. What would happen? Would he get in trouble with the courts for not taking the skids for 50% visitation?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Yes, 7 years....crazy! He's
Yes, 7 years....crazy! He's only had 20% visitation up till now so he's been paying the full child support amount for the 7 years. I think your right part if him wanting to take 50% is because he wants to screw BM over for all the nasty cruel things she did to him. Both parents have revenge in mind. I'm not keen on his kids but I do feel for them and how little everyone considers what's best for them.
Oh no he's fighting to get
Oh no he's fighting to get any custody at all. She wants 100% custody and to not allow him any visitation. That's what he's fighting for. His Attorney and the GAL are pushing him to get as much custody as he can. But he works 12 hour shifts so having the kids 50% would be a struggle logistically. He also thinks that having them 50% might help him rebuild his relationship with the children and he can help protect the children from her. At times she's nasty to everyone around her including the kids and her own mother. He's between a rock and a hard place trying to decide what to do.
This is their second attempt
This is their second attempt at divorce, first time 4 years ago they both ran out of money and the case fell through. The skids think their parents have been divorced for years. They don't know what's going on.
