The Family Law System

June 13th, 2007

…Is not a quick process. I wish that I could say that I wanted an action completed as a single father and it would only take a matter of weeks from start to finish, and it isn’t like that in reality.

In March of 07, I filed a petition for a Parent Time Evaluation (which is an evaluation by a licensed psychologist of your home and your child’s other parent’s home, to evaluate which is a better environment for your child to be raised in) through the court system. It will be three months on June 20th, and I have not heard a thing about what the next step is.

I plan to have this blog NOT be a rant and rave about my specific situation, but more about the specifics of the legal system and the tools that are available to any parent going through a similar situation, and will focus more on that from now on.I guess the main point that I wanted to get across with this post is: Be patient. I know it is agonizing waiting for this or that, and you should certainly not go for months and months without anything happening, but as long as you know you have done all that you can and more, anticipate that it will all take some time.

If you have any comments or questions you can email me at canyonfoolUT@gmail.com

Cheers!
