Final Trial results in.....
|
The judge said that she was "this" close to losing her kids. That the kids are messed up and it's her fault. He said rather than sit on the information and make a decision 30-60 days from now, he was going to rule that the kids stay where they are for now. There just wasn't enough based on Ohio Revised codes to make the change.
He told her that my visitation times were not to be messed with and gave me 3 extra hours on my weekends. He also set 28 consecutive days in the summer. She can not make plans during that time. The kicker is he put her on notice. She has until the end of school this year to get the kids grades up. If they aren't he said he will give me custody and it will be swift.
He also set my 14 yr old straight and told her that visits are between her and I and I have final say, if I say she needs to come, then she needs to come.
He told it will not take much for me to convince him to let the kids come here if we end up back in court because of visitation interference, drugs or grades.
In the end it's not what I wanted but I do feel it's what's best for the kids. They did talk to the judge and were adament that they did not want to move. Now I don't think they could honestly say if they did want to for fear of mom's reaction, but it is what it is. I really doubt they will be able to get their grades up but we shall see. There's not much time to do it. The ball is in her court now, it up to her not to mess it up.
