Q: Can I file for Temporary parenting time orders until the final judgement is decided? I'm the petitioner and father.
I filed a petition for parenting time and child support for my daughter who is 2. Her mother was extremely bitter after we separated. Its been a year this month, and I have consistently seen my daughter and have paid her child support each month consistently. I began dating someone this last June, and she now is becoming super difficult to coparent with. She at first required that we spend time with our daughter together, now she requires that she is present for all the parenting time until she thinks we have a "bond", and hovers over me when i spend time with her. I am not a criminal, no history of substance abuse, I work as a Journeyman Operator on powerlines and have owned my current home for over 7 years. I have full custody of my first son who is 14 and every other weekend with my daughter who is 8. Can I request temp orders until this is figured out? Can she mandate these supervised visits done by her?
A: You can ask the court for interim custody, child support and parenting time. You don't say which county you are in or how long ago you filed your Petition. You might call the family law docketing clerk and ask when you will get a trial or when you might get a hearing on temporary custody. It may or may not make sense to move forward with a hearing for temporary custody/support just based on the calendar.
