Because she's flying the girls here before she actually moves, then flying back, and then driving here .. the cost of the flights becomes "gray area" according to my lawyer.
Okay, I understand why your attorney said just pay. I mean we are talking about $300. It isn't a lot of money when you compare it to going to court.
But SHE doesn't have an attorney?!?!?!
Dude. Tell her not to fly the kids and just suck it up an drive them. IF she wants to fly them, then pay it herself. IF she flies them AND tries any crap with you; THEN you tell her to back off or you'll report her to DFAS fraud.
Just spoke to DH, he sent her the following email (against his lawyer's advice):
"If you prefer to drive the girls up with you from Texas since you cannot afford the flight, that is fine. Withdrawing them from school early was only necessary because you have to relocate for your job. Flying them here on May 24, 2013 is a convenience for you, but not a necessary expense. The girls are due at my home 1 week from withdrawing from school in Texas to commence summer visitation."
Lawyer says it's not worth the risk if it does go to court. Even if she doesn't win, judge is unlikely to grant anyone lawyer fees, so we'd be out a lot of money over $300.
Wait....she is pulling them out of school early to give them to you then flying back to move? I thought she HAD to pull the kids early because she HAD to relocated and start work at your location sooner and it was a huge problem for the kids.
If she doesn't have to be on site and working before the end of school, why is she pulling them early and potentially causing her daughter to repeat a grade?
She's pulling them out early, flying them here Friday after school. She's flying back Monday (after spending the weekend with her boyfriend), and then driving up Wednesday with her car, mother, and pets.
I don't understand it at all. I don't understand why she's ALWAYS able to get away with this shit. Every f&cking time.
DH sent the email saying he's not paying the money for the flights. He told BM if she wants to drive the kids because she can't afford the flight, that's her perogative. }:)
Her response? She's still flying them and dropping them off the evening of the 24th, as originally planned. She said she can't get a refund on the tickets and it's too much stress to drive the skids. She also added in a little lecture about how he's violating the agreement and doesn't have the skids' best interest in mind .. which we fully expected.
But at least he's not paying her the damn money .. and I doubt she has any real intention of taking him to court
If she continues to push the issue, he'll just tell her that if driving them wasn't an option, she shouldn't have presented it as one (call that b!tch out on her empty threats)! }:)

Guess we'll wait and see what happens.
Bad lawyer.

I wouldn't. 1. It's
I wouldn't. 1. It's relocation - not visitation. 2. You are responsible for 1/2 COST - She's getting reimbursed.
I can't see a judge making you pay for her to move, especially when she is getting it back. At the very least, I'd make her work to get it from me.

His half of the cost is $300.
His half of the cost is $300. His lawyer charges him $150/hour .. a reduced rate that he gets through his union.
If we did go to court and BM won (our court system favors mothers BIG time), then we'd have to pay the $300 plus possibly her lawyer fees.
Besides, BM is swearing up

Well, and she is probably
Well, and she is probably telling the truth.
She is NOT likely getting a reimbursement for the PLANE tickets.
She's probably claiming per diem for them instead. Much more $$.

I mean she has gone so far to say that she is not getting ANY moving money at all, whether it be allowance or reimbursement.
I guess she forgot DH was in the Navy .. and that Google still works ..
heeheehee!!! Google still
