So my last post was about how BM called CPS on me for "abuse" of SD, the case was dropped as unfounded (obviously) and we moved on. Well then she filed with the court for mediation to "lower SO's parenting time" because:

-I was investigated by CPS (even though she was the one who called and since has told both SO and I that she did NOT think I was abusing SD)

-SO was "ALWAYS" late for pick up and drop off (false)

-The current schedule is "confusing to SD" (its a 2-4-2-4 schedule and we've had it for almost a year, SD is 3, there is nothing confusing about it)

-The current schedule is "inconvenient" for BM.

THATS IT.

So they went to mediation at the beginning of March and it went OUR way. BM's lawyer dropped all the CPS stuff out of their motion because even HE knew it was ridiculous and that BM was just being a typical crazy BM. So basically all she had was that it was "confusing to SD" and inconvenient for her.

which was fine because one, its not confusing and who cares if it doesn't work with your schedule it's not about her its about SD spending the most time as possible with her dad.

So the referree, DENIED her motion and reccommended that the parenting time STAY THE SAME.

So we still get SD every 4 days for 2 days at a time. This works out because it staggers the days week by week (WHICH BM WANTED SO SHE COULD HAVE WEEKENDS OFF FROM SD SOMETIMES).

Well we thought that was the end of it but we just got a letter stating that BM is "objecting to the referees recommendation" and SO and her now have to go in front of a judge.

Her reason for objecting is that SO is STILL ALWAYS late to pick up and drop offs.

Okay, except SHE is the one who tells him the night before when and where the pu/do is so it's her fault if shes late for work because she could just make the time earlier. And for the record, he has been 10 minutes late dropping her off ONE time, and it was to the daycare so BM should have no complaint.

And I am not exaggerating when I say he is never late, because I am a super type A personality and get mega anxiety if I am not EARLY or RIGHT on time to things, so SO is THERE when he needs to be, I make sure of it.

Anyway, so I told him to start communicating with BM pu/do times in email and then just make sure he buys something at the pu/do point so he can get a time stamped receipt to prove hes always on time.

My question is, how seriously is the judge going to take this? It seems pretty obvious to me that BM is just looking for any excuse to be a bitch, plus being a few minutes late for pu/do IF HE WAS should NOT be a reason to lower his parenting time.

We have her every 4 days for 2 days, THAT IS ALOT OF TIME. BM wants to lower to every other weekend. wtf.

what do you think will happen when they go to court, and should he get a lawyer, the paperwork says they'll only have 15 minutes each to argue their cases and if lawyers are involved there will NOT be a pre hearing conference scheduled.

thoughts??
