Hi.
My daughter Ashley (age 9) has lived with her father and step-mother for 7 years. We have joint legal and physical custody of her. She has been being MOLESTED by her step-brother (age 12). He's formally charged in juvenile court with 'Sexual Battery'. We're slowly finding out it's been going on for quite a while.
I wouldn't take my daughter home after I found out about this, and I called the police. After a $4,000 lawyer, and a brief Temp. Protection Order.. later denied and I had to give my daughter back to my ex at a Burger King per JUDGE FRANK COX - his reasons 1- The boy was put at his maternal grandparents, 2-my lawyer tried to put my ex-husband down as the defendant we saught protection from and 3-why were we in magistrate court? I don't understand.
The kid can't stay gone forever, but I'm afraid I'll lose again. Needless to say, I fired that lawyer, but I have you.. whoever you guys are...I'm new here.
Anyway,
I live in Georgia...I've gotten nowhere with any of the state agencies. I'm broke, and I've been a wonderful mother. My ex husband's wife and I have always worked things out...until now.
SO! If anyone can reply to these questions, I'd be ever so gracious...
1?) What are the chances that a court will order my daughter to come live with me? Will the court try to reunify my daughter with her molester/brother? My worst fear.
2?) Also, my ex-husbands's lawyer's kids..... babysit the judge's kids... is that grounds to switch judges or counties?
3?) What if I drop my case in Cherokee.. can I open a new one in the county we live in? should I ?
Help. thanks
