Thank you for your support, and I'm sorry to have taken so long to get back to your responses.

I had to get the children the children back into their routine, the house is a mess from travel, there's boxes of files, and suitcases, and then we got some icky nasal lung crud, so I'm just now able to get back to the board.

ps  I'm also wrestling with the idea of initiating one or two court battles at this point.  I know I should, I must, but I hate the idea of taking my focus away from my children, and how much of my time will be required.
Is anyone else really missing CB right now?

Lighter,

Oh my!
Were you away from home all this time, in a hotel or pitched in a tent? That must be awful.... and I hate coming home to a mess to clean up to, the unpacking, laundry,  etc.

I don't doubt you have though of a 'retaliation' if you will, rergarding what you have been through.

Best of Luck

Izzy

Not pitched in a tent, Izz, but on the road, and living out of suitcases right now, must get that cleared up, and just getting laundry caught up. 

When I landed back in town I had to jump into a huge project, almost no sleep, and just managed to pull it off so it will be an enduring piece of our fundraising program annually at the school children attend.  IF it flopped it wouldn't have been good, and I couldn't let that happen.  The good thing is I've met some superparents who helped me pull it off...... amazing people, and there's a cohesive group forming we didn't have before.  Amazing.

Timing's been off this year with regard to legal stuff, but is there ever a truly good time for it?  I think not, esp when children's routines are involved...... so hard on them.

We've just found out the Judge in our custody case has reserved the right to award attorney fees.....

interesting the Plaintiffs in their closing argument asked we pay their attorney fees.  So I'm wondering if they had the nerve to turn in their fees, and if they did, I'd like to see what it costs to terrorize innocent people in the courts.  What's the going rate for getting a minor Judge to ex parte, pay off, and manipulate other Judge's, court officers and witnesses? 

Not that it matters really, but it will be interesting to see what their weasel attorney has been charging..... is he making bank, or has he been cowed into making very small requests for money, bc the PD clients have him cringing and fearing their typical Tasmanian devil response to any bill, even a small reasonable bill?   Do the IL's have something on him, or is he doing these terrible things for a buck?  He's gone so far out of his way to ensure my children are harmed, and sacrificed..... he's a father too, and I know people do terrible things for money, but after all this time I still find it difficult to wrap my mind around the concept of ruining children's lives just to make or save a buck. 

The Judge is requiring both parties attempt to settle the fee dispute before she considers ruling in the matter.    We all know how high conflict personality disordered people are consistent in their inability to to settle anything.  Ever.  That much can always be counted on, IME.  How reassuring. <tic>

We can ask they pay a tiny fraction of our expenses, and they'll say no, even if it means they end up forced to pay the entire fee by the Judge.  The nature of the beast is what it is.

I'm also wondering if this Judge is sitting back and waiting to see what the Plaintiffs do with regard to filing a appeal in this case, which is their typical response, keeping in mind this isn't their typical case.  CAN the IL's alter their typical course of action? 
IF they can't, and it seems likely they can't, that begs several logical questions:

1.  What will this current superior court judge DO to them if they file an appeal/request for reconsideration?  What can she do to them?  Will she wait the 30 days to see if they file an appeal/request for reconsideration before she makes up her mind on the fees?  Can she award us anything else, outside of attorney's fees? 

2. Can this Judge take over other suits, if pushed or goaded enough?  It would be just delightful if she could pick up the remaining suits, and handle them herself.  Not likely, but I've always been the hopeful type; )
