We have been seperated since jan. Went to divorce court last monday. Judge ruled in my favor, giving me the house both cars and all contents of the house. Joint custody of our son. She also has to pay half of all unsecured debt.
In our seperation agreement she was to meet me half way to pick up and drop off our son. She called me friday and left a message saying that if I wanted to see my son I would have to come to her appartment to pick him up and drop him off. Her lawyer nor her brought any of this up in court, I was still under the impression that the things in the seperation agreement were still valid unless changed in court.. She had stated several times over the past few months when I would ask if I could come see my son that she didn't want me anywhere near her appartment. Why does she change all of this now? Is she just trying to make things difficult because she didn't win in court?
She also stated that since she has primary custody of our son that I have to do whatever she says or I don't get to see him... She has gone mad, in my oppinion.

Any help or sugestions are welcome.
Thanks

Go see your attorney ASAP to have him help you enforce your rights and the judgement ruling. If she is in any way violating with the compliance of the ruling, your attorney may be able to go to court and possibly have the court slap her with some sort of a contempt judgement. The judge may then decide to change the ruling to give you primary custody of your child (if this is not already the case). This may or may not be possible, but in any case I repeat myself, and urge you to contact your attorney as soon as possible.

Thanks for the reply. As soon as I recieved the message I call my lawyer and played the message to her. She said lets take her back to court,I said whatever you think needs to be done, do it.
I am just trying to understand what and why she is doing these things.

Anger, control, bitterness, pick one.

She lost in court, she feels like she has no control and is trying to regain some -- or she just may not want to inconvenience herself by having to drive to a halfway point.
