XH is marrying OW after only 5 months of D!!

Well it has been an interesting week.
On Monday we had our court hearing to arrange contact. I was rather apprehensive about this as I would be seeing XH again after last week’s texting fiasco. Anyway it actually went well. The judge was very pro me – well pro the proper conduct. He gave XH a real talking to about his behaviour and told him in no uncertain terms that OW is not a parent and that she is not part of the process. In fact XH tried to have contact with OW written into the order and the Judge said absolutely not. He said, ‘Lets just leave OW out of these proceedings as it doesn’t concern her.’
Yeah – Justice certainly did prevail. My XH actually got quite angry with the Judge and started to challenge him on a few of his decisions and this just aggrevated the situation. My XH was really angry and I could see his face getting really red (as it does when he is angry) and he was tapping his pen and smirking the whole time.
The irony of it all is that he called these proceedings and asked for an official contact order rather than an informal arrangement and in the end he has now got less. His phone call contact has been cut, and so has his holiday time. He has been told to be prompt and if he contravenes any of it can be prosecuted.
So sad that it has got to this. Our sons are young so we have some years of co-parenting ahead. It didn’t have be this way, but with the interference of OW we have had no choice.
