My question involves a child custody case from the State of: MA
Ex husband filed a complaint for contempt stating I neglected to provide him with information about our daughter. I am the custodial parent and but we share joint legal. According to the divorce decree,
“Each party agrees to keep the other reasonably and timely informed of major changes in the academic, physical, emotional, and social status and activities of the minor child and upon specific request shall forward to the other copies of any school, medical and dental, and other reports or written communications concerning the welfare of the child.”
I do not know of any “major changes” in any of these areas of the child’s life that the Plaintiff is referring to nor have any specific requests (or non specific) have been made.
This was scheduled to go forward this week in front of the judge but the day before his lawyer sent me (pro se) a STIPULATION FOR DISMISSAL written as follows:"The parties to the above entitled action, pursuant to the provisions of Mass.R.Civ.P. 41(a)(1)(ii), hereby stipulated that the Complaint for Contempt filed by Mr. X on October 21, 2011, be dismissed."
My question is, I added the words "with prejudice" to the end of their sentence after finding others written like this online. Was I wrong to do this? His lawyer submitted it without even questioning it and it was approved and the contempt dismissed. Can someone further explain "dismissed with prejudice" for this type of contempt? Thanks.
