Last Minute Jitters

[Isis1]

Not So Sunny California



okay, maybe i'm just wigging out right now, but I have a minor's attorney coming by the house today at 2pm.

quick update: dad had custody, tried to give custody of our youngest son to his mother behind my back. he got caught, i was informed. judge dismissed the case as there was no reason i couldn't have the child while he had the older child. (both boys) i filed for custody. i have gained custody as of June 07. things on my end went well. i have followed the court order. i hear things from the kids that dad is not following the court order. dad seems very proud about involving the kids regarding the court order.

now, the minor attorney has already visited the kids at dad's house. boys are 11 and 6. minor attorney told me he was there.

is there ANYTHING or any advice someone can offer me last minute that i need to watch my p's and q's about, or what information i can offer the minor attorney, what the minor attorney is looking for?

my STBX husband is taking the time to stop by for a few minutes between clients just to meet the guy since the STBX is is always being accused of child abuse by the NCP. is this even a good idea? i just wasn't sure. i am borderline on the issue. STBX is always at my home during lunch and at night to help put his two kids to bed. i figured since he is in the two older boys life so much despite us not being together, it would be nice to show the two older boys aren't afraid of him.

any veiw on that?

While I don't necessarily think that there is any harm in your stbx stopping by, I think it might muddy the waters.

Agreed. This is about YOU, not him. If he is there, there's one more variable in the mix that could potentially screw you up.

duly noted. thank you ladies. turns out, the minor attorney will be here at 2:30 instead and STBX has a client at 3 so he won't be around anyway. phew...one less nervewracking moment.

It looks pretty sunny out there to me!!

While I don't have any legal advice, I just wanted to give you some "moral support" (hope that's allowed ) I'm sure everything will be great! just be yourself, and try not to be too nervous.

I have to second that thought. Just breathe!!

I second that... especially since he's the STBX.

[summerdawn]

LOL! It's funny, after I posted, I imagined what I would be doing in your shoes. I imagined a spotless house with me nervously fluffing pillows and worrying about practically nonexistant specs of dust! LOL!

The suspense must be killing you! I hope he gets there soon and it is overwith quickly!

It might be fun to take all your clothes off and run around the house in your birthday suit, singing Christmas carols at the top of your lungs!

That'd keep your mind off things, keep you busy.





*Why, yes, I AM just kidding!!*

You're in good shape, Is, if you can laugh at my silly suggestion!

Remember this: God gave you those children. You are a good lady. I'm sure you're a good mom.

That's all anyone needs, really.

#16 reminded me of outhouse. With his rock hard body of steel. And typing skills of a 2 year old.
