Legal Question in Family Law in California

How do we hold mother responsible for actions against the court order??

My fiancee has 50-50 legal custody of his son with his ex-girlfriend, and 78-22 (I think) physical custody, in her favor. She moved out of the county of San Diego, and the court order at that time said that neither party could move outside the county without written permission from the other, we went to court and the judge allowed it. She has also been making important medical decisions without consulting him and expects him to pay for the medical, the judge also said ok to that alos, which is against the court order. Do we need to hire another, better lawyer than we had and go back to court on these issues?

With a 22% timeshare, I doubt that the outcome would have been much different with a different lawyer. I'm sure your atty discussed the Burgess case with you.

With a 22% timeshare you would have to show that the move was clearly against the best interests of the child or done merely to interfere with his visitation.
