Q: seemingly simple question. my ex is flagrantly making it difficult for me to see my child on their birthday. Any judge would literally say ‘WTF?’
If i can manage the paperwork with a self help web site, is it financially worth spending several thousand dollars to get a judge to give me 50/50 access on the birthday? and realistically, could i recover legal fees if I hired a lawyer? i heard judges really stay away from that.
thanks!
A: It depends on a number of factors, such as the age of the child, the history of the case, as well as whether the child’s birthday falls on a weekday when the child’s in school. Additionally, counsel fees are usually only awarded in a case like that if the ex is willfully violating a court order, or if there’s a great disparity of income.
