[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 589679"] I sympathize about how stressful this is for your son. Janet is right. The burden of proof is on her to show that your son is awful and she isn't going to be able to do it. As long as they are going to court anyway does the lawyer think your son stands a chance of getting more time with his son? Maybe a 50/50 split? A cousin of mine does that. She isn't going to look very good taking your son to court right now. What would be in your sons best interest would be to find a lawyer that will help him stay out of court. I know its a different concept than most lawyers do. It is what my lawyer does for us though. X would take us to court every year or even every few months if he could. My lawyer knows that the judges like to see that the parties have tried to work it out first. So he has us e-mail first. Then he takes a print out of the e-mail to court where it shows how unreasonable and explosive x is. The part where he keeps us out of court is that if it looks like we are headed in that direction he will contact x's lawyer and try to work something out. Or he will try to help with the e-mails to x to work something out to keep us out of court. He has been able to reduce the time in court to every few years. Even if we win in court and the judge orders x to pay my lawyer it still costs lots more than the judge orders. And, the stress on our family is huge. [/QUOTE]
