And if you don't try, you don't know what would have happened. Even if it fails, it may be laying the groundwork for later motions. Often a case isn't won by a single incident but by a pattern of behaviors and incidents over time.
About phones, every time I go to whitepagesdotcom to do a reverse look up it always offers to link me to a paid service offering more information. I'm not so sure you'd get h information though.
Hmm, it seems that call activity might be a barometer to how ex's live is going and how she may behave?
Yeah it's been two years and and $25k in billing and all we have to show for it is this less than great parenting plan and the one finding of contempt. It seems to me that our L didn't really take an interest in our case until about three months ago when I sent her a binder and a thumb drive full of documentation and evidence. There really wasn't much of anything going on with this case until I got involved and started giving her something to work with. She is supposed to be a great lawye but she has messed up more than once. Neither I or my fiance are the paying party and neither my fiance or the paying party are willing to start over with a new lawyer. But she hasn't said we can't win or anything like that. I have heard that from my dad (who had to fight to get custody of myself and my brother a million years ago) and from the mediator during court ordered meditation.
I did try paying through white pages and got nothing. But I do suppose the phone might turn out to be somewhat of a mood predictor right now.
The thing that killed me was that at the end of speaking to the kids on Monday, he told each child that he loves them and they each responded with, "okay".
