The judge accepted her verbal word over printed certified documentation on many issues. However there is not a transcript of the hearing. Is this worth an appeal?
You don't say why it matters. Whether you should pursue the matter further, depends in part on why it matters to you whether she is cohabitating with someone or not. What is it that you are trying to accomplish?
