Finally some relief 

Today was CS Court. Yup, the second one since stbx decided not to show up to the first one. For those of you who follow my blogs (all 2 of you LMAO) you know that he told me he was unprepared the other day. Well, he wasn't kidding. He came in and asked for a continuance to retain council... Judge asked for his financials and he didn't have anything prepared or photocopied. He wanted the court to make copies for him... Yea, that did NOT go over well; it's court not kinkos and the Judge said no way. I had all my ducks in a row and was completely not nervous after just a few minutes of being in there. I was nervous for him though. The Judge gave him some pretty harsh words throughout. We are rescheduled for later this month so he can retain council. The Judge said, "and I'd BETTER see you in here with an attorney present. That will be the LAST court date you are given." Meaning don't postpone this and come without the reason I'm giving you. Also she awarded CS. Said she wasn't waiting for his attorney in order to do so. He can try to change it at our next court date but I doubt highly that will happen. He had the nerve to ask her for MY financials. She told him, "as soon as you give me yours I'll give you hers." She's a tough one. I'm glad this is pretty much over and as it stands he's paying more than what I had asked him to pay while trying to keep it amicable. He should have just worked with me :)

My Dear LG, you are good for much more. You've listened to me for so many hours I couldn't begin to count them and I'm grateful :) I do miss you around here.....

Rob, while I'd never trade the fact that we have our children I am glad for you that you don't have to deal with that aspect. This would go very differently if they weren't involved. Again, I wouldn't trade it though.

"..." - Is this like dealing with two scorned women?

I know that you have been going through some very difficult moments; and, as you have noticed with your acute sense of detail that I am not presently involved with the day in and day out of this site, I do think of your situation and find comfort in the fact that you are in a good place with this community supporting your blogs...

I am basically good for a clean pair of panties and laugh or two...

Signed,

LG

Yeah, one of the ugly sides of divorce.  I'm not sure which one is the pretty one, but yeah...

I think that's why I'm so glad we didn't have kids.  I always wanted them, but now I'm glad she didn't.  how odd is that? 

It sounds like you're on top of this though IMBM, good for you.  Maybe he'll get his sanity back before this gets too far.  I hope so, for both of your sakes...

LOL Rob, but you are right. It's the best place for them to be. I heard from the attorney and she said to start filing police reports. I will file the two incidents tonight (when he was at my apartment and the daycare thing) and if he tries anything else she said to get a temporary order of protection from the police. I'd then have to go to family court to make it permanant. I will do all of this. I can not have my children or myself subjected to this insanity. I can't tell daycare to keep them from him as I have no court order allowing me to do so. As it stands he has as much right to them as I do. He actually told the daycare lady he's going to have to file for custody because he can't afford to pay all this money. Now THERE'S a Hell of a reason to fight for custody... Dear God!

Paula's right IMBM.  You need to stop this now. I know my dad had an arrangement with my daycare, that  my mom wasn't allowed to pick me up or see me without my dad present.  That may be excessive in your case, but you can't let this go on, especially since good daycare can be so hard to find, (says the guy with no kids).

Angel, good idea. I just wrote an email to an attorney client I have asking her advise. I will let you know what response I get. This is just too much...

is there any way to go back to this judge who already seems to see him for what he is and get an order of protection while they are in daycarea nd your possession?  i would bring all of this to the courts attention.  if you could have your daycare provider write details of conversation would be great.  the children will end up fearing and resenting this man.  i pray for his and their sakes he sees the light.  good luck to you.

I know Paula but he is their father and I have no court order. What can I do? I feel the exact same way you do. After the little stalking stunt he pulled the other night and now this... I'm at a loss... I really need to do something I know. WHAT? I don't have any idea....

UPDATE: I just received a call from the kids Daycare provider... stbx showed up there. He was crying over the kids and ranted and raved about me to her. He asked her all sorts of inappropriate questions about me as well. She was pretty upset. Looks like I'll need to find a new daycare provider :( I'm mad, I like her a lot, the kids LOVE her and her children and she loves them. It's a shame... he ruins everything because of his selfishness. He really ruined a wonderful environment for his children with this last stunt. I am just a complete mix of emotions today...... Sad I think is the most prominant. Sad for his children over both the court and daycare thing...........
