Title: Lawyer says he's taking too long to sign the agreement
Post by: Dontknow88 on February 03, 2017, 10:29:30 PM
We may ha e to go to court.
I'm afraid they will give him more than he deserves. He's a great liar and can make himself look stable (he's high functioning)



I am terrified

Dontknow88, I am so sorry! 
I think you knew you were heading this way and already were thinking about full custody with no visitation rights based on his instability. Can you bring his psych records forward now if it ends in court?

Sadly yes I knew. And thank you so much for the hug 

The most visitation im willing to do is supervised visitation and I think the courts will agree.
I'm afraid that he will lie his way out and seem like he has his illness under control.

He one told me that he doesn't open up to his Pdoc cause they will send him to the "crazy house" and only goes for the meds.


How can I being it up, please help!

Okay, Dontknow88.

From what I recall you are working through a mediation type of agreement, no court order at this point. Is that correct? And this mediation has taken into consideration his condition and disturbing statements he has made. But he will not sign the agreement worked out from this activity.

Has your L advised what information from the mediation is possible to bring forward if you were to litigate? Is there evidence from recognized specialists (doctors, counselors) that have evaluated your ex that can be cited in your case?

I believe from past posts, that you know it would be best to limit his access to your son, and don't even feel very comfortable with supervised visitation. Are there specific instances in our outside of court that make you think he will be able to convince a court that he has his illness under control? Is it on the basis that he is seeing a psychiatrist regularly?

It is really understandable to fear the worst in these cases. But that fear has to be taking its toll on you. How are you doing? What sorts of things are you doing to ease the worry and not knowing? How is your son doing?

Hello. Mo mediation since we agreed opon me getting sole custard we are doing a separation agreement (at first my lawyer didn't know about his mental illness. I just wanted the agreement over with at the time and my ex didn't want me to bring it up and now I'm seeing why) my lawyer knows now.

I want him to have visitation but only supervised Visitation but he causes so much drama that I rather him just go off and live his life.



Yes he is a good liar and I'm afraid that he will convince the court that he has this building is under control he is high functioning.  He sees a psychiatrist and he purposely took the minimal amount 20 minutes per session just so he can qualify to get his pills. he thinks all he needs his pills and he will be fine.


Everyone tells me that I'm really strong and handling it well. I personally think a big part has to do with the fact that I've seen a very ugly side of him and definitely don't want him back anymore. Not dating but moved on emotionally
Thankfully I have a really big and supportive family, they always keep me laughing, very reassuring and comforting. They all seen how everything deteriorated so fast and they have seen his Darkside. I'm glad that we can all still get together and laugh and enjoy each other's company through a time like this. My son is growing too fast! He's such a happy baby.



I have a couple evidence pieces it's messages that we said but they are not time stamped  you think it will  still be good enough for a Court or no?
