Temporary

Per the de novo or “do over” hearing:

I need to remember that the word temporary is in the phrase temporary orders, that good things can come out of this whole custody ordeal and from the guardian ad litem recommendations.  The guardian ad litem still has not made her home visit(s) and recommendations to the court.

I’m just saddened that one non-family law judge that heard our family law case could remove so much good from what the other judge, who is a family law judge ordered?  Furthermore, what was put in place to replace the earlier ruling really hurts my child?

As my California CPS friend said:  “What a disappointment.  Let’s hope this is just temporary and some sanity returns.”

 

Another difficult thing is that the judge ordered me to pay $3000 toward my Ex’s attorney’s fees.

So Ian won’t go to a couple of summer camps.

New back to school clothing is out for a while.

A newer to me car gets put off even longer.

So we won’t have our little three day winter vacation to Breckenridge we’d been planning over Christmas break either.

I’m already having to work extra days just to pay for my attorney, unlike my Ex who has his attorney fees paid for by his Dad.

So sad that I have to continue to deal with Bad Dad.

At least I have a wonderful son that loves me, my family, loving friends and my health.  So in the big picture I am rich.
