So I didn't listen to all of yours advice when she asked so nice on Thursday, "I have no place to stay, will just put the kids nicely to bed, etc" and I said sure, you can stay the night. In an hour, I am calling the cops, she is screaming to the bawling 5y.o. easy child "dad hurt mom, you saw it, right? right? dad wants mom to leave!" and rips the 911 call out of my hand screaming, "he hurt me, and the children saw it (repeat twice)".
Now my lawyer doesn't want to use this to file an ex parte revision of the visitation agreement (no overnight, supervision not by her mom) saying that the judge can turn it against me, given that I let her in.
Looks like we are definitely going towards custody evaluation, but is my lawyer getting lazy? What for is all my material collection on all the abuse, testimony by babysitter etc? My lawyer is beginning to give me "many moms are crazy, we all grew up with crazy moms" and I am afraid the kids end up spending a lot of unsupervised time with her. I hope evaluation will do good, but until then I would think that I have more leverage than just going along with mediators equinanimous recommendations.
