Okay. I have now gotten an address for her my emailing a family member to plea to, however, she seem to have no intention of moving back or returning my child to the state of VA. Furthermore, what is making me REALLY upset is that my child will no longer be starting school this year as it should be. My child was in a head start program last year to start kindergarten this year. Now, it that state, my child can not start school until next year. I am afraid that with a court date so far away, my child's education will be compromised being in a different school system in a different state. Is there anything that I can do to speed it up?
I really like my lawyer (even though I REALLY have no money for him), but I am not sure if he might be "not aggressive enough". He is someone I REALLY trust though and out of all the previous lawyers I have ever used, he is almost a friend the extent to which I like him. I am in school and I am currently living with my girlfriend and living off my credit card until I finish school this year, so I really have no money to hire the lawyer, but if it will give me a earlier court date and a quicker shot at getting my child back, I might try to borrow some more money to pay for it. I am not sure how my financial situation might affect custody though. I have really good career path though, so I will be able to get a job once I finish this year, its just a rough patch right now. I do not want to loose my child forever to a different state because I didnt act fast.
I am currently going to file the "Motion for Show Cause" on Tuesday, however, what can I file to get an emergency hearing? Or could my lawyer get an emergency hearing in a situation which I could not? He always brags to me how much he likes Norfolk court because the give him whatever court date he wants. I really do not have the money right now to hire him, but if it has to be done, it just have to be done.
