So I've got this situation with a dumbass ex who also happens to have a dumbass attorney. Basically avoidant ex just sits there in court and let's the attorney make all kinds of outrageous claims, many of which are provable and blatantly incorrect, and then attorney encourages the judge to make specific orders that the judge then makes.

Dumbass ex calls it a win and walks out of court with a smirk on their face. Then shit goes sideways and they violate TF out of orders that favor them having custody because they can't handle the kids, and the kids absolutely hate them so they rebel.

They call me asking for advice. Seriously. Me. Their mortal enemy. I have to kindly inform them that I am not their father nor attorney. They still want my advice.

I end up with the kids, sometimes for long stretches, like 2+ weeks, and they don't call or engage with the kids in any way during that time.

We currently have temp orders. They told me the temp orders don't work for our family. I just got served with paperwork of them asking to make the temp orders permanent.

I call ex and they say they just signed it, they didn't read it. They don't want the current orders permanent.

The attorney is running amok, ex is clueless, and the kids are suffering for it.

​

I have an attorney, but I'm just not confident in the system at all.

​

Looking for a couple of things, 1) if you had to deal with this, how did it play out? And 2) what did you and/or your attorney do to address it in court?

​

I'm trying to get things in writing from her showing the attorney and her aren't communicating and she doesn't even want the same orders her attorney is asking for.
