The moving party mother sought a two-hour motion but delivered her voluminous materials, including a new contempt motion, only days before the hearing.
The court granted an adjournment due to the late delivery, which caused an egregious waste of court time.
The mother requested reunification therapy as a term of the adjournment, which the court declined, instead ordering both parents to obtain medical letters from the child's psychiatrist and physician.
The court also dismissed issues in the motion to change pertaining to the older child who is no longer a minor, ordered the matter to trial, and ordered the mother to pay $1,500 in costs for the adjournment.
