Trying to stand my ground

So I've decided that I can only let my stbx's decisions ruin my life for so long. He's late to pick up our son everyday and so last night when he texted me that he would be 5 minutes late, I said "OK, thanks for letting me know and that's fine but please be here within 15 minutes of the agreed upon time because I have to leave." He was over 15 minutes late, he says due to traffic, and so I left and told him I was leaving and taking the baby. He wanted to come pick him up from the restaurant I was having dinner at with family. I did not want him to ruin my dinner so I said he could pick him up after dinner at my house or in the parking lot of the restaurant. He ended up calling the police, for the fourth time, and they came out and filed an incident report. He already has filed the custodial interference charge from the time he wanted to take him out of town and he was extremely ill so I refused (my attorney says this shouldn't be a problem since I have doctor's notes that say the baby shouldn't travel). Obviously, standing up for myself and not taking any more only caused more problems but not doing any thing is letting him run my life is making me lose it. Sow hat am I supposed to do????? Someone help me!

Since you are still going threw courts and lawyers, I would suggest you make sure when you stand your ground that it will not look petty in the courts eyes. I know your lawyer will agree with you, but its the judge who makes the call.
Pick your battles wisely and unfortunately, let the small ones slide.

its too bad that because he was late, he was unwilling to meet you after dinner in the restaurant and caused a scene. It just seems petty and juvinielle, if not immature to call the police cus he was pretty late and you had to go. But at least now, you know what he will do, so maybe, and it sux, but maybe, you just have to take an extra step to meet his prima donna ass during your nice dinner so not to cause embarrassment and more trouble for you.
what a wienie.

Too late in more ways than one.
Too late to realize what a loser you married. Hopefully this is a good lesson. Mopri has a point, the judge could look at this as an attempt at "parental aliention." You have to be very careful and most judges pretty much expect adults to act like adults - he isn't going to care if your husband is the one to blame. Good Luck.
