My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Idaho. My ex and I have a 50/50 custody agreement, were officially divorced in October 2015. We have had issues, and went back to mediation to try and resolve them. Before our first mediation, she texted me that it was going to end in court, and I feel that she had no intention of trying to work things out as mediation failed, and court is the next step.
What I wanted was to extend relocation distance by 10 miles so I could move for school and work. She wanted to make me an every other weekend parent, add my girlfriend to our agreement, and get a paternity test for our 3 year old. While due to the agreement we both signed with the mediator, everything from mediation was confidential; the mediator did say that she was bitter and angry and did not believe going to court would be in her favor.
My ex says I am neglectful because I allow our 3 year old to move about the house and do not feel I need to be in the same room all the time. Also that because I spend time doing homework that I am not adequately caring for our daughter. Most of my homework is done after she is in bed.
My ex's father currently lives with me because he moved here from out of state, and reports to her every time our daughter calls for mommy, or is left alone in an area of the house. My daughter has an older sister here from another relationship, and they run around the house to play.
I also received a DUI on Halloween, have done community service and paid all fines. Daughter was not with me when this happened, but my ex believes she can take custody from me for this. I have no other record.
We both save texts and phone recordings. She has even started recording in person conversations.
On the contempt part, we are to consult each other on things like daycare and school and be in mutual agreement with information/documents shared within 24 hours. She enrolled our daughter in a daycare without talking to me, and did not give me the information for 3 weeks even though I asked a few times. She also told them not to contact me.
She will also be moving to a new place on May 8th, told me about it on April 20th, and our order requires 30 day written notice of relocation. This has still not been provided, and I have no address yet. I too, will be moving shortly, and am wondering how this will go if I give written notice when I find out if I am approved for the apartment, but do not give it 30 days in advance.
I am wondering if there is contempt here and if I would be considered neglectful?
