I would think this Judge who is aware of his behavior during this process - has to look at her prior order (supervised sat/sun no overnight, monitored speakerphone conversations) and ask herself - what has changed? Why would I alter my ruling? Why would I bar an absent mother's Mom from intervening and look at the case law and custody under CT law - and at the very least IMO rule Mom can step in act as JD did, and FD can have what he had before. or she can have common sense and keep the order not allowing him to see the children in place while this plays out. I will be interested to see her ruling and then Mom's reaction. JMO
