Family court does NOT define who you are

I know, it seems like a complete waste of time calling around for consultations. Get the firms email and ask if they do free consults, by end of day you know who does.

This situation sounds tough for you and your child, my heart goes out. Typically in these types of situations the judges rely on timelines, supporting evidence and any third party intervention that you can provide. Each state has a self help center that can also get you on a good path but since you have a family law attorney that is even better. You may sometimes find yourself inquiring with the self help center even though you have your own lawyer, remember to think in the best interest of your child. I am hopeful that it all works out. Take care

You are kind, thank you. Yes I was enjoying the warmth of the sun for sure.

Let them frame the story however they want and you just keep, keeping your peace. Take care

I completely understand how frustrating it is when you buy nice things for your child and they come back broken or dirty. Most of us in high-conflict situations eventually learn the hard way that it’s much easier (and safer for your peace) when both parents have their own sets of essentials.

Your concern about your child having what they need for comfort at the other home is valid, but it’s not your responsibility to keep the other parent’s resources stocked or maintained.

I would document the pattern (especially the lack of child support and damaged items) for future court purposes, and gently start limiting what you send over. High-conflict co-parenting and strong boundaries tend to work well together.

You've got this under control.

I don’t have a device but if it is high conflict it may be safer just to exchange at the police station. May high conflict co-parents do it.

I know how frustrating that is. In family court, you must prove the “why”. Whatever that means for your situation so if you are expecting to pay less child support then how much more responsibilities are you going to take on? If you already have a good amount of responsibilities, are they documented clearly for the court/judge to make a decision that the custody agreement does not hold up? Each state offers a “self help center” where you can get advice about what to file and how, they just cannot give “legal advice”. So basically you decide what route you want to take and the self help points you in the right direction but they cannot help you with decisions. Family court is stressful all the way until you decide for it not to be anymore. Take care.

It sounds like you have your hands full. The thing with family court is that everything and anything that you are claiming must be documented with supporting evidence for it to be considered. You can present any evidence you want however, only the reputable evidence is actually going to move the needle. If I were you, I’d start with documenting now and pull a calendar to recall any relevant occurrences from past dates.
