Question on BM being able to drag out the court hearings. ..

DH recently retained a lawer to finally get visitaion and establish child support since after 9 years BM has never set it and constantly tells him he is not allowed to see the child even though he still gives her a monthly check and pays for clothes every season and every other costs (medical, activities). She got served today and called hysterical and first said she would be willing to agree to the terms we asked for in visitaion as long as she wasn't mouthed (she has had another child removed by her other ex, reason unknown). My husband really doesnt want to fully take the child out of his environment, just visitation on summers and holidays. But now a few hours later she is being difficult saying she is getting a lawer too and is going to fight it and drag it out. She isn't very well off so I doubt she will do that. My question is, can someone with a limited budget still elongate the process causing us extra costs on lawer fees and travel without also costing her?

She is definitely not smart enough for that! Thank goodness. If she goes before the judge alone she with screw herself. Thanks for the insight!

It took DH and Swamp 1.5 years to get divorced because she dragged it out and then DH was ordered to pay her legal fee's. Now they fight about skids every year in court for the last 9 years. She claims to be poor, making 83k tax free, not working, but has no problem harassing DH in court!?!

For 7 years, DH and BM went pro se in our local court.

Ya never know what these BM's will do }:)
