Q: Order to vacate (Custody order) judgement and restore to calenda
Noticed an email from my previous attorneys office with an order from my child's father from his attorney that they filed and order to vacate our current custody agreement, the father made untrue allegations as for reasons for the order to be vacated one was "the mother fails to comply with the current order) which is untrue and they have no proof. We've had our current coustody order in place for one year and three moths, out of the ten weekend visits, two weeks in the summer, and one week for holidays the father was granted he's only acted on one weekend visit and is behind on child support when I've asked the father multiple time "when do you plan to visit for parenting time" his response is "whenever I have vacation" he's disrespected me, has a DWI and drug and alcohol abuse. I spoke to the law guardian and her comment was "I'm surprised it's taken this long to anything about the order, but then again you were given the better deal"?? can someone please give me some advice?
