Posted: Sep 24, 2014

he be a mediator if necessary for you?  I hired a lawyer and asked my ex to contact my attorney and not me directly (abusive).  I have asked my lawyer twice about visitation for this weekend (asked if my ex has told him where we wants to meet, when, etc) and have not heard anything at all.  I asked Monday and today.

If you & your ex arrange visits through lawyers (he calls his lawyer who calls your lawyer who calls you), all that takes time, days or weeks even. Some friends of mine split up years ago & they both used me as visit go-between. Whichever had the daughter would bring her to me, then I'd take her to the other parent, then back the other way. At the time, it was no big deal. It worked out really well. Occasionally, visits would be entirely done at my house. Social worker involved in the case was fully aware. If you & your ex have a friend in common who would be willing to do the same for you, it could make things tons easier.... just don't put the friend in the middle of problems, just a visit go-between.

recent experience - hope that helps

Your attorney is your advocate. Using him/her as a messenger is a waste of money. Ask him to expedite temporary visitation with a mutual pick up - drop off site such as a police station. Until it is in writing, nothing you can do about him being late picking up or dopping off or wanting the child/ren early or on a day not agreed upon. That is why it is good to get a temporary ruling from the judge with specific days, times, holidays, school vacations, etc. Hard part will be for you to keep quiet when he acts up and document, document, document any issues but don't engage in any battles. Sorry, didn't mean to write a book but my niece just went through this and her documentation (including hateful and threatening text messages and emails) helped her gain sole custody (only meaning the child lives with her and she decides all schooling, medical care, etc.)

Hospitals Should NOT Hire DoctorsSep 18, 2016
At least, not if they are going to be interacting with patients or dictating reports. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but this is ridiculous.    I'm not xenophobic or racist but it just plain puts patient care in jeopardy when they can't communicate effectively with patients or speak clearly enough for MTs to understand them. I sit here and scream obscenities at my computer while these people are ruining my line counts because if I don't then I'll prob ...

Chicago Must Hire 111 FirefightersMay 18, 2011
CHICAGO --  A federal appeals court ruled on Friday that the Chicago Fire Department must hire 111 African Americans who passed a firefighters entrance exam 16 years ago and pay millions of dollars to thousands more who took and passed the same test. The Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling was the latest blow to the city, which has been on the losing end of court decisions regarding the 1995 test for years, including a 2005 ruling by a federal judge who said the test discriminate ...
