Dear listmates:
New client has been
living at his mom's for the past 4 months. Recently filed Complaint
and now the
parenting time arrangement has changed.
Specifically, for the past ten years, because both parties are required
to work on Saturday's, my client's mother has been watching the parties'
children each and every Saturday. Now, because of the divorce action,
wife wants
the children to be watched by her mother.
Wife is now claiming that my client's mother has been recently toxic for
the children and the claim is that she runs her mouth about their mother
in
front of the children and the children are suffering because of this.
The ironic part is that my client has his parenting time at his parent's
home because that is where my client lives for now. In my estimation,
this in nothing more that a slap in the grandparent's face because my
client's wife was not overly fond of her mother-in-law.
My client's parents have
been substantially involved with their grandchildren but I do not
believe that
it would be sufficient for them to get grandparent visitation. Aside
from that, especially since there is
not a tremendous amount of money here, any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. Please know that my
adversary is standing by her client's position and will not return my
calls or reply
to my last two letters.
TIA,
Eric
