Baker County Florida recordsThank you! Sorry I didn't get online until late tonight and am just reading this--
what's the address of the court website you're using to access this docket info? I'd like to peek around (especially to see who filed the domestic violence pleadings!) and I don't have the website address on hand.
I think it looks like Crystal did not return the children when she was supposed to after her visitation periods. She also, as we know, failed to pay the child support that was court ordered. I think these moves probably made it more difficult for her to challenge Ronald's custody successfully.
Also, once custody has been established, each day this arrangement is in place makes it more difficult for the challenging parent to be granted custody, IMO.
The children would have been establishing routines, relationships and bonds as a result of their placement in the father's home. They likely had established relationships with physicians and other caregivers-- if Crystal got custody and moved the children, they would lose those newly established support systems and frameworks and the court could view this upheaval as contrary to the best interests of the children. This fact would also make it more difficult for Crystal to successfully challenge custody.
Add these two factors together and it looks like an uphill battle for the non-custodial mother, Crystal.
