Court

I don’t know if I need advice or I’m just ranting but my hubby and HCBM had mediation in court yesterday. And the mediator was going over some key points to have a parenting plan where both parents would agree. From the beginning BM was already shooting for sole custody. Which makes no sense at all, since my husband has been a part of his daughters life since she was born, and has always been there to help, Take care of her, and anything else she needed or bm needed for the most part regarding their child. That being said the mediator was going down the list asking BM and BD what they could agree on. My husband was being very helpful and agreeing and cooperating with everything. However BM didn’t want to cooperate at all she said no to almost every single thing. And even the mediator looked at her like she was crazy for even wanting soul custody because she couldn’t back up her evidence on why she wanted it! Even the mediator was letting her know that right now you’re thinking about yourself and not what’s best for your child.. ultimately BM couldn’t come up with any reason why she didn’t want to give my husband anything. Not even holidays for that matter. At the end, they didn’t come up with a solution and BM was so embarrassed and she was so entitled that she couldn’t even walk out with my husband because she knew that she was wrong in the whole situation and she was only thinking about herself. That being said this morning, she has the audacity to call my husband and tell him that she no longer wants to go through court anymore and she no longer wants to see a judge and she told my husband that she now wants to write up a parenting plan and finally want to cooperate with him because she knows she messed up and she knows that the judge would 100% side with my husband because all she was thinking about was her damn self. I don’t know what to think of this my husband kind of agreed but didn’t. He’s been very cooperative, but I can’t help but to think that she is being very manipulative and my husband is falling for it. He’s falling for her and I’ve told him multiple times that she is just manipulating because she knows that the judge isn’t going to decide with her at all. That being said, I have been very frustrated because I need this to be at least written because if it is not, I don’t know what I’m gonna do and if I could continue this relationship because, she has a track record of getting into her emotions when she’s upset with my husband and will forcefully take his daughter away from him. Or if we have her for a certain day and she’s in her feelings, she will tell my husband don’t come you can’t see your daughter. I need this to get in writing so this will no longer happen again because then he takes it out on me and point and I’m getting very frustrated. ..

He should follow through because then there’s a law in place. And documentation that they have shared custody. And if she decides to not follow the custody agreement she could get in trouble and lose custody herself.

We have used the documents in order to get our children back multiple times. We’ve just haven’t pressed charges yet… she hasn’t done it in a long time and that’s because we threatened to press charges next time this happens

I have a question because I’m in the same boat as you! My bf has court next week for joint custody. He has a parenting plan and she suppose to have one as well. For your situation then the judge appoint a mediator? Or did they just write up parenting plans & scheduled a mediator? Also, in your situation I would encourage my partner to create a parenting plan, have her sign off and let the judge sign off. It will def eliminate cost and both parents have their way. I would also encourage him to create boundaries on how they communicate so that your somewhat comfortable. Being in this type of situation is understandably uncomfortable but that’s the BM goal is to make y’all uncomfortable and to cause issues amongst you and your partner. Don’t let her,it’s easier said then done but as long as you and your partner are on the same page. It’ll work out

Could you write up a parenting plan and then submit it in court so you can go to court if she violates it? If she doesn’t agree on the parenting plan then you go to the judge. Definitely don’t have any parenting plan that is not recorded in the court system.
