well as most of you know today was the hearing for shared care...

well as it turns out the courts will not change current orders unless there is a major concern for the wellfare of the child...
if you want amendments done you need to come to an agreement with the other party and do it via consent minutes of order.

the likelyhood of that friggin cow agreeing to us being in sd-6 life is slim to never figgin gonna happen....

i am so pissed off right now as we were told by a legal adviser that inorder to get the current orders amended we needed to take it to court and re-apply but now the courts are saying no they wont...
we have also been told we are not allowed to put in anymore affidavits against the bm.

i just don't understand as they current laws are ment to make custody more even and fair for all parties involved but now we've been told it's not that at all it is in favour of maintaining the status quo even if it shuts out one family intirerly...

i hate the courts and the friggin legal system and i hate the bm for once again getting away with being one of the worlds worse mothers.

One reason for this is to protect the child from always being pushed around from house to house. One parent will get mad and want to change custody. For what ever reason, money, jealousy, revengful.... or the plain fact that it is in the best interested of the child. But, parents dont always agree on how a child should be raised. Truth to the matter, divorce sucks for children! Some parents forget that divorce is not fair to the adults and it should always try to stay fair for the kiddos! If the child is in danger, call SRS! Let them decide if the child is on danger or not being well taken care of! That WILL hold up in court!

I hope that it's not that way in our state!!! We are filing a motion to modifiy parenting time for the second time. The last time the bm's attorney said to the judge we have come to agreement on the parenting time concerns so all we had to do was draw up a journal entry. Well we waited a month they didn't send anything so our attorney wrote a letter we are concerned about getting this in writing before the holidays, the response was you guys draw up the journal entry, so we did.... The mom has not signed it to this day!!! That was Oct. of 06!!. We started all this in Sept 05!! It took a year for her to string out the pick up times then she just didn't sign it after they said they had agreed to everything. Now we have to start over again!! If we go to court and they say that nothing can change i will freak out!!! Is their more to the story ? Do you have to go to mediation or anything can't you request counseling or something? What state are you in?
