Another meet?

[matttaylor1976]

Should have resolution tomorrow. Tried to resolve it Sunday, and it didn't happen, had a court date for today, but pushed that back since the other person is willing to talk about the issue. We'll see if she is willing to do the right thing. Once this is over with, i'll let you guys in on what is going on, but for now at least, subtlety is key.

So now that everything is over, i can spill the beans.

Right before Christmas, my GF and I were discussing going after full custody of my kids (i had them on the weekends only). Right about that time, i was approached by my ex in-laws about taking custody of the kids. Game, set, match....or so we thought. After a month of threatening court, arguing, and talking, last night we sat down at the ex in-laws with my ex and kids. It was stressful, but the kids were able to share their wants and desires finally.

So, here i sit at home, sipping coffee, playing with my kids. Will be heading down to Citrus Heights today to pull them out of school, grab some of their belongings, and head back up the hill. The battle is over, and the kids are safe and happy.

Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement, once everything settles down, we will reschedule the meet.

Man you got lucky that worked out so well. Be sure to fully document it and file a new order with the courts to CYA. Having been through the courts several times, it's no fun and very frustrating. They really do not take into consideration the best interest of the child / children. You get some full on liberal mediator and what ever they say is word, the judge will take their work as law. Oh, you smoke pot, that's OK, your still their parent and you have a right. I could go on a huge rant.......

With that being said, kids / family always come first, and it's great when you can get to a resolution the easy way.

Thanks everyone. We really wanted to keep it out of court, I know how bad it can get. Went down yesterday and grabbed what they needed, and had the ex sign the paperwork. Everything is going well. Should have them enrolled in school up here today.

I know its late notice, but we're having a bbq here on Sunday to celebrate. If anyone has time, you are welcome to come up, will be starting around 2pm.

 

[TYM4FUN]

Damn, I would be there in a heart beat, but I'll be out of town....

 

[Finnyfam60]

We will try...
