Chelsea had already enrolled the twins in a private school nearly three hours away and signed a lease in another county.<\/p>\n
She planned to move them that weekend\u2014before I could discover the visitation order and ask the court to stop her.<\/p>\n
Her attorney was calling because Daniel\u2019s order required advance notice of any relocation that would interfere with my scheduled time. Chelsea had provided none.<\/p>\n
Gloria filed the enforcement motion immediately, along with a request to preserve the existing arrangement until the judge reviewed the move.<\/p>\n
The hearing happened two days later.<\/p>\n
Chelsea claimed the relocation was necessary for a fresh start. Then Gloria produced the funeral schedule she had handed me and messages showing she intended to use the move to reduce my contact permanently.<\/p>\n
The judge was not impressed.<\/p>\n
He ordered Chelsea to follow the original visitation schedule, provide transportation for the time she had attempted to obstruct, and obtain court approval before relocating the children in a way that affected the standing order.<\/p>\n
Chelsea accused me of making grief harder for everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou handed me restrictions beside my son\u2019s coffin,\u201d I replied. \u201cYou chose the timing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ruth later apologized for telling me to accept two visits a year.<\/p>\n
I did not need Chelsea\u2019s permission to remain Ava and Cole\u2019s grandmother.<\/p>\n
