Mom Tries to Change Parenting Plan, Judge Says Not Without Proof

A mother comes to court with multiple motions involving custody, child support, contempt, discovery, reimbursement, and mediation. But the judge explains that because a permanent parenting plan is already in place, the court cannot simply create a new temporary parenting plan unless there is proof of immediate and substantial harm to the child. The hearing also turns into a discovery dispute after Father’s attorney argues that Mom sent a second wave of discovery, including 25 more interrogatories, 16 more document requests, and 87 requests for admissions. The judge grants the objection to that extra discovery, dismisses Mom’s amended contempt filing because it was not filed properly, and orders Mom to supplement certain discovery responses within 30 days. This hearing covers custody modification, parenting plan rules, contempt filings, discovery objections, child support arrears, financial records, mediation, venue, and why court procedure matters in family court.

A motion being denied, dismissed, or limited does not necessarily mean the underlying claim is false; it may mean the filing did not meet procedural or legal requirements at that stage.
