[QUOTE="Babbs, post: 69079, member: 3820"] Thank you for all the support! Somehow, even though intellectually I know and concurr with what daisylover and wyntersgrace said, emotionally it's just so hard to take a deep breath sometimes and move on. Unfortunately, Alaska doesn't require parenting plans as part of a divorce involving a child. The judge I got stuck with is on a circuit court, so he does criminal as well as civil court. Luckily he's due to retire in the next year or two, but until then anything I bring up in court this judge ignores. I filed to request ex-AH to be held in contempt because he refused to sign my son up for summer school and counseling, despite it being written in the divorce settlement. After he received the court papers requesting that he be held in contempt, ex-AH started "homeschooling" my son and started counseling appointments two weeks before the end of visitation (instead of weekly since the beginning per the settlement). Despite such clear lack of compliance, the judge did nothing. The truely sad thing is that my ex-AH started spanking my son again during this visit and permitted his girlfriend to spank my son also. We had an agreement to not use corporal punishment which HE requested, but of course he broke. His reasoning? <Quote>"It was in response to him lashing out at us physically. We both explained that attacking others will cause the person to attack or defend themselves." Um yeah, great. His reasoning is cause the 7 year old hit him first... I've been hugging my little guy tight, he's only had 2 or 3 meltdowns in the past 2 days - mostly tears, glad to no physical aggression again <crossing fingers that it lasts>. [/QUOTE]
