    Re: Judge and Friend of Court Keeping Me from Parenting Time
    My daughter is 10 and my son just turned 12. Mostly that I am mean to their mom. She has tried to get me arrested several times. The police told her the last time that if she called them to get me arrested again that they were going to arrest her. She is always telling anyone who will listen that I am a deadbeat father and that I "can't keep my hands off the children". I took a polygraph to prove none of that was true. The judge even knew that I voluntarily took a polygraph to prove I had never hurt my children or my ex.

    In the beginning she was bringing the children to my house before school and I was to put them on the bus. She would get the children out of the car and then they would get back in and she would leave. The Friend of the Court said that because I wasn't holding them when she took them out that she had done her job and I wasn't doing mine. It is a circus and it just gets worse as my wife and attorney know they will get whatever they want from the judge and FOC.

    I'd ask the court that custody exchanges take place in a local police department. Mom drops off kids and walks out, you walk in and retrieve them.
    That way options for kids are either go with you, or stay at the police station overnight.

    And mom doesn't have to see/talk to you, since you seem EVER so scary! :)

    because she definately *IS* keeping you from your kids, and the court isn't doing you justice. I'd still question choice of atty at this point tho. Doesn't seem like you are making much headway and your ex seems to be doing a lot of harm.
    Google up the local bar association where you live. Give them a call and explain whats going on, and your situation. most lawyers are required to do a # of hours probono starting out, and you might be able to get a real bulldog for very little. This would def be a good case for a lawyer needing family law time. Bar association should be able to help or point you in promising directions. Don't give up!!

    I got lucky, my ex ran me up 30K just for initial divorce/custody, and probably burned through 40+ of his parents money too, on what he could have had for 1K in mediation and then filing paperwork :/
    I got desperate because I had coughed up the majority of that, it had been well over a year and still just had temp orders, etc. I had worked for a lawfirm several years earlier and there was a guy working on passing the bar (he was older however, in his mid 30s I think at the time) and once he did he left lawfirm. The rest of the guys I worked for were rather evil ambulance chasing sorts. I called this other guy because he was always VERY sweet and kind of a all around stand up guy. I explained what was going on with my divorce to him, even though we hadn't talked in close to 3yrs (I had to google him up!) and asked for help. I expected he could refer me to someone he knew that wouldn't charge me 300/hr to read my email. He offered to flat fee me through my entire divorce, and still responds to my very occasional txt or emails (maybe 4 or 5 in the last 3-4 years) and offers his help whenever. He mainly delt with injury law, but he knew enough to finish my divorce for me. I feel very lucky to have had that!
