Got a reply from W on getting D this weekend. W said "of course you'll get more than 24 hours b/c it is your 'long weekend'."
What a crock of crap that is. Her world will be severely disrupted if the parenting evaluation comes down in my favor. I'm guessing this is a ploy by her and her L to try and show the court that our current arrangement is "working fine" so there is no need to alter it at all.
Well, if I'm awarded 50% physical custody, I've decided I won't disrupt my D's schooling, but I'll make the sacrifice in commuting for her benefit. However, I'm going to ask for W to help me pay 1/2 the oosts of upkeeping the house (mortgage, etc.) until it is sold and then I'll be able to move closer to D.
I'm also going to bring up the need for an alternative morning drop-off for D so I can make sure to be at work on time every morning when I have her. I'm also going to see if I can get any money from W b/c I'm going to be the one w/ the extra driving and time sacrifice due to the decisions she's made w/out my input about our D's schooling.
Finally, I'm waiting to hear back from my L on what they've said about taking a polygraph test to dispute all of W's BS. If she refuses, I'm going to ask for a written retraction b/c she shouldn't be allowed to slander my name w/out penalty. I was raised on the belief that there is no such thing as a free lunch, so I don't believe she has a right to get off w/out taking responsibility for her actions.
So, that is where I am today. I'm tired of her garbage and looking forward to finding out what the evaluator will say. That ruling will allow me to move forward w/ my life and plans for the future. If only I can combine a positive report from the parenting evaluator w/ a fair offer on my house, then I'd be set.
