My husband and I got all the way in pro sea court to the final hearing but, because the judge was going to allow me a trail and not to grant my husband custody (he has the children) seeing he has blocked all type of contact from me for the children, I went ahead and sumited dependency paper work plus various of other things that the judge was very interested on she set for final hearing, he hasn't showed for one hearing, has always motion for countious and has failed with that she always set for the next step.

So the question is seeing that I pay 80% of monthly income for CS can I motion for " suit money" seeing now 5 days before final hearing he retained atty? I have been doing a lot of homework about codes, case history and I read today that I can but, what do some of you think? Is it worth a shot, he is a contractor and still in these times is making money. He moved with his girlfriend and her three children to her home with is 100% hers, no money owed. I'm also filing a motion for Temporary custody of our 2 younger children seeing our one daughter hasn't since he has had her ever seen any of her follow up doctors she has many admoralties which the dept new about and no one took her like they all said they had. I only had weekends and nobody would help me and he then ended up saying that he was told by the doctor that she could just see her local doctor, buy the time school ended he moved then they closed the case. Very long story but, let's just say the good ol' boys club from the judge to the UFF.

My husband motioned for the mediation to not take place and he was denied and he just has refused to make any type of settlement with me. All I asking is to try too raise our children the best we can, I'm willing to make a 1hr 20min drive every weekend to make sure we both have a fostering relationship with our children, he just refused everything, his lawyer and I talked about 2wks ago and she said that she was going to talk with him and to see what we could come up with but, she was like acting as if I should just give up and settle. My GOD I have to at least try to do what is in the best interest for the children and if that is to have them with the parent who will make sure they grow healthy medicaly and emotionally then so be it.

Please help
