Rob, I could not stop thinking, while I was working out, how wrong this is for you and for Grace. I am still hoping for a miracle for you both before it is all final.
My brother got shafted in his custody case for his son over 18 years ago. He waited patiently as his son grew and as his exW deteriorated in her abuse of alcohol and increase of her anger. Finally the day came when she hit the son when he was around 14 - the son had enough of living with his mother and my brother pressed for full custody which he got with no problem.
What bothers me is that some of these parenting evaluators fail to learn and see what is really in the best interest of the child in the long run.
