So, after all the back and forth reagarding my 12 year old's counselor I finally agreed to change.

 

Here is a little back story. Xnh agreed to DD's counselor, liked her. 6 months later my DD asked for a joint session with her dad and I. She confronted him on a lot of things. he was NOT happy. Then, he was threatening to take her out of the state and asked her counselor to tell the police I had agreed to it. (I had not). Her counselor said she would not get involved in legal issues.

 

He sent various e-mails saying my DD ahs Borderline Personality Disordoer (which HE diagnosed. Not her psyhchiatrist or counselor) and Parental Alienation Syndorme (again his diagnosis). That I was not getting her treated for it. Then he said DD would never "get better" with her current counselor b/c she does not trust her. (His words, not DD's)

 

We had a temporary custody hearing. He was awarded visitation (which was identical to the visitation I requested he have) and I have primary custody until trial in March. We we also order to have a Custody Evaluation.

 

During that hearing he asked the judge to order that I take her to another counselor as her counselor was "not neutral". The judge said he was not going to rule on that. We have Joint Legal Custody so if I cintinue to take her he has every right ot file contempt, and I have every right to defend that charge.

 

After he started to talk badly about the counselor to my daughter and put her in the middle of all of this I decided the best thing for HER at that point was to take her to a new counselor, and just make sure that counselor spoke with her previous counselor in order to understand where she was at in her therapy. I sent him a list of 70 counselors covered by medicaid. (She has primary insurance with ehr Dad and Medicaid as a secondary). He sent me 2 names off that list, which I agreed to one of them.

 

NOW, he is saying he needs ANOTHER choice from me to look at. His e-mail states that the counselor I agree dto (that he reccomended) seems to be a very qulaified professional, but that he needs to have more than one choice. WTH? So, after talking to my attorney, and DD not being in counseling (which she needs) for a month now I am going to make an appointment with the new counselor. He has stated he she no longer NEEDS counseling and I cannot take her to anyone without his permission and if I do he will file contempt.

 

I am hopeful that a judge, once he reads the MANY e-mails in which Xnh goes back and forth so many times, will see he is impossible to please, and that I am doing the only thing I can. I am PRAYING he will not find me in contempt. The same judge that will hear the contempt charge will be presiding over the custody trial...

 

Do you think he has a chance in getting a contempt ruling?
