    Default Family Court Rules

    "The past can not be used against you" is the bottom-line in Family Court if the other party continues legalities after the final divorce decree / Court Order has been issued. Evidence (DUIs, psychological reports of mental health problems) are real world and often lifetime problems that obviously do not go away after the final divorce.

    How does one (Pro se) get across the significance and the reality that alcoholism is still a lifetime illness, a consideration, and a concern.

    My thoughts are the ability to show a changes / or lack thereof in circumstances since the last time in Court. Not showing AA or counseling show equally hold weight and consideration by the Court and the Court (getting the same Judge) being aware of what has happened in their Court room. But it's whether I can mention and elaborate on the past that the other Attorney has already had me sustained on.

    Thoughts / opinions please? THANKS.

    If there is no change in circumstances, either the court has considered the circumstances in its prior ruling or the parties considered them when settling their case. So why should the case be reopened?

    There is a clause stating that after 1 yr the mother can request un-supervised visitation. "I am a foreigner with no rights in the US" is what the ex has stated. The reality I have custody but I am being persecuted because now I have lost my job (restructuring) and they ex and her family have already had me in Court stating that I can not provide for the kids. They want the kids and will stop at nothing e.g. they have tried with deportation but I have a greencard. I know you get alot of crazy happenings but this one has been on-going for years. I did take my kids to New Zealand when I had sole custody asking for relief due to the mental (alcoholic) and physical (she was convicted of child neglect when she had custody). We were ordered back. Her boy friend has been threatening and if something happens to me they get custody.

    I didn't explain myself well. The mother was ordered to have supervised visitation (by her family) for 1 yr after some evidence was un-covered when the mother was seeking custody (i.e. a 5th DUI, forging of court documents, and her founded child neglect were major factors). You might not beleive it, but my former attorney just agreed / submitted the court order without my consent and sent me the bill. I have spent >$100,000 to date and now bankrupt all because the ex still has more money than I. Then are also professional reports as to her having mental health problems but it comes donw to we settled. I never said she was fit, nor did the court, but they are having me back in court every few months to break me, e.g. contempt for not providing visitation 300 miles away when the court order states travel will be shared and she refused to travel to meet me 1/2 way in order to file contempt. Sorry for the lenght.
