Judge orders Urlacher to class
Bears linebacker, his son's mother both must participate

A Will County judge Wednesday ordered Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher and
the mother of his 2-year-old son to take a parenting class to learn how to
deal with each other.

The action came after a three-hour court hearing in which Urlacher and Tyna
Robertson testified about their ongoing dispute over transportation of their
son to scheduled parental visits.

The boy lives with his mother in Joliet but has scheduled visits with his
father at his Lake Forest home 62 miles away. The parents have been ordered
to share the driving and meet about halfway between their homes.

The hearing is the latest in a series on the same issue but has attracted
wider attention because a court filing by Robertson listed numerous text
messages sent by Urlacher using profane language. Circuit Judge Dinah
Archambeault said she didn't want to hear about the text messages unless
they were specifically about the parental visits.

Urlacher is seeking contempt charges against Robertson and has accused her
of violating a court order to deliver their son to a tollway oasis so he can
pick the boy up for visits.

After listening to arguments, the judge said she would make a decision at a
later date but ordered both of them to take the parenting class before they
appear in court again in September. The three-hour class is required in such
cases under Will County law, and Archambeault said she thought it could
benefit both parties. Urlacher and Robertson do not have to take the class
together.

Urlacher's attorneys argued he has missed at least four overnight visits
with his son because Robertson did not drop him off. To make up for the time
missed, Urlacher wants four overnight visits with his son and for Robertson
to be ordered to deliver the boy directly to his Lake Forest home. He also
wants Robertson to pay attorney fees of $15,000.

Robertson's attorney, Heather Nosko, said her client never purposely missed
visits and that Urlacher just wants to be accommodated and have his son
driven to him when he wants. The two don't communicate, except by text
messages, Nosko said. And there have been times when Urlacher showed up late
or canceled at the last minute and forced Robertson to adjust her schedule
because he had something else to do.

Urlacher's attorney objected to some of the most profane text messages being
presented by Robertson's attorney because they were part of an incomplete
conversation. Robertson's attorney argued some of the messages showed
Urlacher's attitude toward his child's mother.

At one point, Urlacher's attorney, Anita M. Ventrelli, read a message from
his phone in which Robertson accused him of paying off a "racist judge" to
get out of driving to Joliet.
