LOL Thanks Faye. You can't believe the smile on my face after reading "tomorrow I'll tell you how I REALLY feel about your situation."

I have a pre-court conference with the lawyer tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday we go see the court comissioner. My ex wrote my lawyer and told him it would be in my best interest to cancel the hearing because, surely, the commissioner would demand we go to mediation. He even made my kids write me emails saying they refused to have visitation changed in any way. The rat didn't even take the time to let the fact sink in that he got served papers before he was having the kids write to me. Two hours after he got served, I had an email from my son. And the papers weren't even served at his house, but about half an hour away at a bowling alley, so he must have practically read them out loud to everyone right then and there.

My lawyer wrote back and said I refused to cancel the hearing, said his behavior was self serving, and any future attempts to undermine my relationship with the children would be reported to the court. My ex then requested mediation on his own. I called my lawyer asking if I needed to return the papers I was sent, since they aren't due back until two days after the hearing this week. He said NO, do not return the papers. My ex is trying to manipulate the legal system once again and he's not going to get away with it this time.
