I had just filed papers to get custody of my children as they are in danger and her household is completely unstable. She has had the kids living with me since June this year and I believe the only reason she did this was because she was mad about me filing papers for custody. What can i expect to happen at court, and I have everything documented (like the times she's called and all the times she asked me to keep the kids longer due to her being sick, ect), So if she filed a false contempt will the judge be able to figure that out, and can i expect for this to just blow over?My ex just recently filed contempt papers against me and it is all false, what will happen at court?
Somebody is mad because they may lose their meal ticket because they can't take care of their children...
Usually, visitation is, as you said, by mutual agreement and in the event that there is no agreement the scheduled visitation order comes in to play. Court will be a ';he said, she said'; situation and the judge will do what he deems to be in the best interest of the children. You'll have a chance to have your say and so will she. The judge may even want to speak with the children.
It is always advisable to keep a detailed log of issues of visitation. When, what, why, and for how long there are deviations from the standard order. If visitation is denied, you should call the police and file a report. The police won't actually do anything about it but you'll at least have documentation that visitation is not being complied with.
You're right...if you having the kids was a problem for her, all she would have to have done was go to the school and pick up the kids. As far as her having a friend/neighbor serve you with process (if that's even what it was...), I don't know what state you live in but not just anybody can serve court communications. There has been a long history of fathers not having the parity in the courts that mothers have always enjoyed but that is changing. Good luckMy ex just recently filed contempt papers against me and it is all false, what will happen at court?
From what I understand about contempt of court.Only the judge can do this.If you weren't paying your child support for the time the children were with you.She might have spoken to the public aid office about it %26amp; they decided to bring you back to court.This is just a guess off the little info you provided.
Most judges are not stupid. And as being the son of a family that went to court for years, I found that out.
The judge will hear you both out, will check what documentation you have.
Is it papers only YOU wrote ?Do you have third party confirmation ?
Copies of the phone bills that show dates and times of the calls to back you up ?
Written certified documentation as in witness statements made at a police station from neighbors as to her situation ?
If she says you were in contempt, contempt of what ?
You did not mention any previous court orders.
If you broke a Court Order that is one thing.
If she just holds you contemptible of her, so what? I hold my Mayor as a contemptible person and that is allowed under the Constitution.
write everything down in a concise summary at the beginning .then write everything down in detail in date or some sort of order %26amp; make copies of all your documentation and submit it the time allotted to respond. Use facts not accusations focus on whats best for the kids there health, stability safety %26amp; education. Your feelings about your ex don't matter Don't bring your feel.s or why they are your ex into the custody unless it was something that might harm your children. ONLY WHATS BEST FOR THE KIDS. the judge's don't listen they read what you have wrote.
good luck
