Had my eye on the DRT for the longest because I plan to ride it on private and secluded off road trails. But I also see myself riding to work at least once a week, so I’m considering the FS too. Is FS good enough for mountain biking trails?

With the ebike laws especially here in SoCal, I just want to be cautious and a bit concerned that I’ll get stopped because it looks more like a moto or moped than a bicycle. So have you gotten stopped or anything?

Also, is an used FS with 2500 miles for under $1k a good price? What should I ask sellers about their used Revv1 bikes? Thanks

My immediate family is small, just my mom and 6 grown siblings, and an aunty. I was cool with her parents, mainly her dad, and two brothers. And cool with a handful of her cousins. A couple of her aunties and cousins are still following me on my social media and are on my friend's list, her Mom always likes the photos I post of the children, she often prints them out to hang at their home. They greet me during holidays and such. I had no issues with her family or anything but true colors are shown because the other handful of them did unfollow or whatever after she told her side, she didn't tell her cheating story though.

Anyway, so after like a year or so after the divorce, her mom texted me about cutting my son's hair and it looking bad lol She sent a pic and it was bad, she said sorry. I texted back and said it is ok. I sent her a barber pinned location that we often go to, and told her they could fix his hair whenever. That was our text exchange. For some reason, my ex tells me to "please do not text her mom". In my head I was "wth", as I told her that her mom texted me first and it's just about a hair cut. And when it comes to the kids, I want to have open communication with her parents and family.

The ex also got mad at me because her cousins invited me to their annual holiday party so I went. I'm currently trying to find that text where she texted, "why TF did you go to my cousins party", because I want to show the court how she is. She cut off my family from her socials, she started off fresh I guess and never added any of them back, my mom and siblings, even my brother who is the reason on how I met her the first place lol They don't talk bad about her or anything, just about her bad decisions.

I have a chronic illness and I'm kinda worried, she's gonna give my family a hard time if they wanna see our 2 children if I'm gone. This is basically alienation right? She has a big family, and every time any of them and their kids are in town, the ex asks me if she could get the kids during my parenting time and I let them go so they could see their cousins.

I'm just wondering if anyone went through this situation, of an ex not wanting you to contact any of their family even if there's no issues between you or the family. This could be used to show what they're doing is not in the best interest of the child right? Thanks.

So my ex misses had an Ex Parte Hearing 4/29 she wanted to expedite things so she could try to relocate from CA to TX with the 2 kids (9yr & 10yr old) in June. I know I didn't have to attend this hearing but I read showing up is a good thing, so I did show up. We both have lawyers but I also wanted to research online and read other people's experiences and their thoughts and suggestions. I don't think the ex got what she wanted, as it sounded the Judge brought up reasons why it couldn't be expedited because of how long court proceedings could take.

So now, we will have a FCS Child Custody Recommending Counseling on 5/29 And I believe another Hearing on 6/29. My lawyer briefly told me what to expect in that Counseling and he'll help me get ready as that date gets closer. But to those who have had FCS Child Custody Recommending Counseling before, how was it? What happens during it? Having this Counseling date a month from now is better than it happening in a couple weeks correct? This was the first time I attended a Court hearing in person, I've attending one virtually during Covid times though.

Short description of our situation, divorced finalized Feb 2021, we have 50/50 Custody, our Custody schedules have been fine, she pays me Child Support, and the children have lived in this area all their lives. Her reason for wanting to relocate is for a better job opportunity, she mentioned Texas cost of living and stuff like that. She only mentioned how she has a best friend, a cousin and a nephew in Texas but we do not have any family in Texas especially family that grew up and help take care of our kids. Our family support system are all in California, her parents/family and my family are here.

My lawyer will prep me before the 5/29 date and I have researched how to act or not react during this process but I want to be firm and not budge in letting the kids relocate to Texas, nor change our 50/50 Custody Agreement. I noticed she wrote a bunch of things on the DEC RFO "Declaration in support of a Request for Order" that wasn't truthful. I will focus on my child's needs and best interests first and foremost during the FCS Child Custody Counseling, this was called Mediation before right? Anyway, is this a good time to bring up false things she wrote? Also no where on that paper where she said the move will be temporary or for "just a few years" like what she texted me. Thank you for the time and any suggestions
