I've complained about it often enough here & there in this forum so I thought I'd give an update
At the Part II Hearing my ex was again a no-show, no-call as he has been at past hearings & for roughly 50% of the visitations (not to mention the total lack of any child support $ whatsoever). He failed to complete his addiction counseling. Considering all this & the fact that he violated the Order of Protection, the Judge made an Order based on default that the Order of Protection extend for another year, I still have Sole Custody & his visitations are to be Supervised Permanently according to a specific, regular, reliable schedule (3 hours per week after church).
This means it's not going to Trial & I don't have to worry now about him exposing my daughter to dangerous illegal activity! I'm free to move further upstate without any problems & my attorney said that when I get married there's almost no risk whatsoever of the Judge not approving my request to have my daughter's last name changed with mine -- I don't need her biodad's permission in our state; it just has to be "in the best interest of the child" & sharing the same name as 2 professional parents who constantly show true caring for her is certainly in her best interest compared to that loser....
So, the move further upstate with my new man (the OBGYN) might happen sooner than planned - the financial issue with my car is getting worked out, I'm using student loan refunds to pay off other personal loans & my tax refund to go on vacation (I can't wait for that Britax Two Way Plus, heheheh) & I'm going to apply for a Women's Small Business loan etc. to begin a Small Day Care Center in my man's new Women's Medicine Institute where I'll also be offering Childbirth Education. Things are going really well just in time for the holidays! I've even made great progress in therapy for my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We celebrated in Rockefeller Center last weekend & I have been on an emotional high for days
BRIGHTEST BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL
