My step son has had sole custody of his 17 1/2 mo. old son for one year since he was 5 1/2 mo. old. His wife has a CPO against her to protect the baby, and she has had one overnight supervised visitation a week since last year. Last week during a pretrial before the judge, my step son was told by the judge that he would settle for 50/50 shared parenting and if he didn't, she would order it. He was also told if he tried the case, the judge would rule against him because she wanted the baby to grow up with his half sister, and the mother has custody of her. He has been told he has no choice but to try the case, lose and then try to appeal. Incidentally, the guardian was not in favor of this new arrangement. She insisted that since I had been his babysitter since he was born, I should continue to do that. That was the only thing that made this arrangement bearable. Is there anything that can be done before the April trial to change this judge's order. She obviously acted out of emotion for the poor mother. She overlooked the CPO, the supervised visitation and the fact that the mother attempted suicide last year with her five-year-old daughter present.
