After we left court in Sept, the lawyer gave a really stearn talking to BM and the new court order really gives her consequence for her alienation tatics. We were liking the fact that there was no drama since the court case and really hoping that BM liked the peace as well.

Well, last night DH called BM to let her know, he had received SD's report card and the teacher requested they work with SD on her phonics as she is falling behind on her reading skills. SD is in 1st grade.

Normally, DH would not have to call BM for this as we live out of state and we normally would not even see the report card. This year the teacher is working with DH and helping to keep him informed. BM did not receive SD's report card as she pulled SD out of school Friday to travel to the state fair about 2 hours away from her.

Well, being that BM is an English teacher - DH thought she would be able to help her out and he just wanted to let her know - he would be getting some phonics and reading flash cards to help out when she is with us (really on 6 days a month) as reinforcement.

She then proceeds to tell him that she is going to be scheduling a class for herself starting in January on every friday and would not be able to meet halfway as the court order states until the end of march.

When he asked what she proposed to do about his visitation.... but what you think she wants ... he drive the 4 hours (one way - total of 8 hours) to get her and then we both meet halfway on sunday like the court order states... or he just doesn't get her - as her education was important.

Well he told her he proposed - if he does all the driving on friday then she does all the driving on sunday - since it is to benefit her schooling. Or have her mom meet him cause according to the court order the exchange is to take place at the exit at 630 regardless of anything they could not agree upon...

Then he told her for the sake of not arguing with her - to submit her proposal to her lawyer and have it sent to his lawyer..... That he would not agree outside of that because of the past actions and it could be worked out that way.

I can not wait to see what her proposal is.....? Or the backlash from him not just agreeing with either giving up his visitation or doing all the driving. So now it is a waiting game.
