Q: Ex served with custody papers, she waited day 29 to get a lawyer. Now she is ignoring her Lawyer to delay the process.
In the state of California she way awarded sole custody over my children due to lies. I’m only allowed to see them in a state I do not live in. She refuses to let me see them when I ask. I served her papers in TN she waited till 29 days to get a lawyer so we couldn’t go to court. Now she will not cooperate with her lawyer and sign the papers just to delay the process more. What Can I do?

A: Everyone thinks they are right in these types of cases and that the other parent is completely unreasonable. The bottom line is regardless of who is being more unreasonable, if you and your ex can not or will not agree on custody and visitation like two decent parents ought too then you will likely both have to spend a crap ton of money paying strangers to decide things for you that you could have decided yourselves for free. Oh, and of course you will both likely harm the children to some appreciable degree in the process. I'm not saying you should drop your case or anything but if there's anyway to get through to your ex that there is likely a far better way to resolve this than trying to out spend each other in an attempt to 'win' something that is already at best in the realm of degrees of losing - that would be one thing you could do. Another would be follow your attorney's advice.
