It's too bad you have to go to court over this but hopefully it will be over with quickly. I'm wishing you luck with this. I know it will be hard for you.
I don't know, I look at this custody case kind of like a super bowl. Sometimes there's a lot of hype for what really happens. Then again sometimes it really is a struggle. Know what I mean?
I've been reading a book about custody cases. (aimed at women, hard to find one to match my sitch.) So far I've learned that for a "family" of 4 involved in a custody dispute, there are 2 winners and 4 losers. If you guessed that the 2 winners are the lawyers, you were right! L's can "churn" custody cases to draw them out and fatten their wallets/purses. I have no experience with this, and I admit that I am biased toward my side of the case, but I just can't see a judge, after understanding the facts of the case, ruling in any other way than saying, "I think the schedule as it stands now is fine, let's keep it that way." If I'm right, why didn't WAW's L advise her that she was wasting her $? But like I said, I'm biased toward my side. So heading into the "meeting", I'm cautiously confident and optimistic.
I've decided to talk to a tax expert regarding the taxes and do my taxes in a way that is most beneficial to me. I feel that if I "sacrifice" what's beneficial to me in order to lighten WAW's tax "burden", then I'm funding the A and I don't want to support the A in any way at all. Just one of my boundaries.
