12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262728children and her attempt to alienate them from me. I refer the Court to my declarationfiled on July 9, 2009 in support of my ex parte request. Unfortunately, despite theappointment of minors' counsel, Lee Lawless, Ginny's interfering behavior hascontinued.I knew that when the Court made its orders on June 5 that I have primaryphysical custody of our daughters, Kira and Kessa, there would be a period of transitionfor all the children. Ginny has made it even more difficult for the children to adapt to thenew circumstances. Ginny does not support my relationship with the children. Sheeven told Ms. Lawless that she does not believe that I love the children. She sent Ms.Lawless an e-mail claiming that Kira believes I am poisoning her. This was Ginny'sexplanation for why Kira refused to take her iron supplements in my home. Ginny wenton to say that she was worried about Kira's safety with me, and accused me of trying topoison her with Malathion during our marriage. Originally, I was accused of not givingKira the supplement at all. Now I am being accused of trying to poison her. Ms.Lawless, however, informed Ginny in her e-mail response that Kira never said anythingto her about being afraid of taking the supplement. (Lodged Exhibit A — e-mailcorrespondence dated July 23, 2009 between Ginny and Lee Lawless)I agree with the opinions of Ms. Lawless contained in her report. I believe thecustody evaluation may give more guidance on how to address Ginny's interferingbehavior and the effect that it is having on my relationship with the children. Theevaluation may also address how this transition period is affecting the boys and myrelationship with them.I also agree that Ginny should not have midweek visitation with the girls at thispoint. The twice weekly contact will only be disruptive and will prevent the girls fromestablishing healthy routines in my household.School EnrollmentThe Petitioner's motion regarding school enrollment was served on my attorneyon August 26, 2009.RESPONDENT'S SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION AND RESPONSE TO OSC RE SCHOOL ENROLLMENT2
1234567891011121314The Court already addressed what was in the girls' best interests when it decidedthat they should be in my primary care for the school year. The Court consideredschool records and medical records. Just because there was some improvement inKessa's tardies the last few weeks of the school year is not sufficient reason to changethe Court's orders.It does not make any sense for the girls to attend school in University City whentheir primary residence will be in Ramona. This is just Ginny's way of preventing Kiraand Kessa from establishing any meaningful home life with me. It will keep them frommaking friends and establishing new interests in Ramona.Although I work in Kearny Mesa, I have already made arrangements with friendsin Ramona if an emergency were to occur and I could not get home right away. It onlytakes me about 30 minutes to get from work to home.When the Court made its orders to change primary physical custody, it knew thata change in school enrollment would be necessary. Kira and Kessa need the structure15and guidance that I can provide them. Kessa has tested for GATE, but Ido not believe16171819202122232425262728she is ready yet for such an advanced program. She does not have good study habitsor organizational skills. I know she is very bright and has great potential, but she needssome time to develop better habits and to learn self-discipline.Kira is also very bright, and like Kessa, is not working up to her full potential. Hergrades were still very bad by the end of the year. I know that Ginny would like to blamethe litigation and the conflict between us for the girls' problems in school, but they werehaving problems the previous school year and this school year before I filed for myrequest to change custody.I will do everything I can to help all of the children deal with this transition but ifGinny does not change her behavior, my relationship with both the boys and the girlswill be in jeopardy.Temporary Child SupportDiscovery is currently ongoing regarding Ginny's income.
