He's saying I have her in too many activities, that she needs more rest and homework time. I do have her in an afterschool program 3-5 Tuesday, singing/dinner/drama 5-7:30 on Wed., Friday art club 5:30 to 6:30. I just added in a soccer league at my church for her for the next 5 weeks Saturday mornings for 45 minutes. But I've always had her homework done, and a full night's sleep. Hopefully he's just grasping at anything. I've heard unless you beat your kids (I don't even spank), that you don't lose custody. Hopefully that's true...
This last week he said it's too much so he won't let her go on Tuesdays anymore though (like sitting in his apt. while he's at work is a big improvement!).
Oh, he is. But he is certainly likely to try to play any card he can. A good judge will see through his shenanigans, ignore his specious (at best) arguments.
I'll say it again.....he's a complete and total a$$!
He thinks that she needs to sit in an apartment when he isn't even there to interact with her just so she's not 'overscheduled'. None of these things runs late into the evening and she is completing her homework. What is the harm? She enjoys them. JERK!
So she took a nap. Big deal! She's a growing kid and they sometimes need naps. Good grief!

Have you talked to your L about what to expect during trial? I can't believe that you don't really know what is going to happen. Try to find out as much as you can before the trial date and that will take some of the edge off.
I don't think he can just stop them from doing things. I think he is grasping at straws. He is the biggest jerk!

I think so. And she LOVES her activities. When X didn't take D9 to the Terr. Tuesday program this week, she told me she told him she wanted to go & was so upset and he told her it was most likely canceled b/c of the tropical storm. But I had told him I would email if it was canceled, and I never did that (b/c it wasn't). She said she told him it was indoors so she didn't think so. The thing that bothers me most is he's hurting her for whatever reason.
The L left a message I have to meet with her asap to send out subpoenas to my witnesses. If she doesn't clue me in, I will maybe come up with some questions. It will be so good to have this over with!!!
Oh, gosh, did you do that? Is that a good idea? I'd rather not have to see her!!!, but if it will help me get my kids, then I'll do it. We live in a no-fault state so from what my L has said in the past, it seems like X can do anything he wants, but she was discouraging me dating b/c it could affect alimony/child support. (Not why I didn't date though!)
