SlevinKalebra Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 So, stopped feeling sorry for myself and started fighting for myself and kids. Great news, I now have full custody of my daughter. Although it is only for the week until I go in front of the judge to continue the fight. I decided to represent myself and my daughter's interests without a lawyer. If I do need any more advice I will pay the hourly rate of the lawyer I started out with. So far I have made a lot of head way by myself, I filed all the documents for an emergency hearing and have made friends with the clerk of the court who has been unofficially pointing me in the right direction. The more I read the more I see she doesn't have much of a leg to stand on regarding her drunken, abusive ex. Her son will take a little more court time but I am finally feeling confident that all will work itself out in the end. Everyone has been commenting that I seem a lot more relaxed and happier, and while my daughter is under the same roof I do feel SOOO much better. The court date is set for the 8th so by the time that it comes around I will have built up all the evidence that I can find. To me it all seems so obvious that my daughter needs to be out of her house, I am hoping that the judge will see this too. Thank all of you again for listening to me and giving your input. It has helped me immensley. I will keep updating as this all unfolds
