C.S. modification (vs) full custody in retailation
For 10 years I have not asked for CS modification until now. We share 50/50 custody. Once he was served, 11 days later I was notified that he was filing for full custody. Isn't there a ruling or law regarding this retaliation?

Re: C.S. modification (vs) full custody in retailation
There is nothing to prevent him from filing the motion. However, for there to be a change in a "permanent" custody order he is going to have to show a change of circumstances.
If you should have to hire an attorney to represent you under these circumstances, you may be able to get an award of attorney's fees/costs either on a need basis or as a sanction.
