Firt it says that they appreciate an offer for custody (I didn't give one)
Second it says that we shouldn't belittle his clients involvment with son (I pointed out his lack of involvment) and that I interfere with fathers parenting time (never happend. In fact he has has son at least one day everyweekend this month. He has never called and asked for any more and does not schedule thing in advance with me but calls son at the last moment to do something and expects me to take him there).
Third it says that dad is very commited to being the best dad he can be and that he is very supportive of sons activities and goes to many of them (Please he has been to 2 Karate things in the childs life and won't join scouts even though he has been given all the info and no school stuff as well what a dad)
Then it goes on to say how dad is very much aware of the DA action for support (but of course he dosn't pick up paperwork till two months later) and that dad will go on paying "voluntary" support that he says he has done his sons whole life (oh please what a lie).
Here is where it gets interesting. Goes on to say that we are not really addressing dads needs to have a parenting plan and more parenting time with his son (basical the proposed plan was such a joke we felt compeled to send something back that was equally stupid)then goes on to threaten me with mediation again.
Now this is the third letter I have received that has threatened this mediation. My feeling is that if he was going to do it then he would have done it by now. Here is what I think will happen, he will file a response with the DA saying he has all this time and that will throw a wrench in things. What happens then? We have a hearing and then does he have to prove this time. I don't think he can. AHe has 30 days to respond to petition for support but I know he can't get into mediation before that hits.
Also what I am thinking of doing is making him put his money where his moulth is. I will send attorney letter saying that he can have every other weekend Frid to Sun and half holidays and time in the summer. Then I will say that I think he should do more parenting time and that it would be great for him to join scouts with son and that he shouold pick son up and go to all meeting s and the overnight aoutings once a month. What a great opportunity to parent.
How does that sound?
