Episode IV: A New Hope (?)

Thanks everybody!

Yeah, I'm expecting her to "try" to be on her best behavior. That said, I highly believe she'll be showing up with an attorney provided by FIL tomorrow. A little birdie finally spoke up and apparently everyone has been acting shiesty toward me because they all think I intentionally had the Order of Protection's wording come out shadey on the issue of her visitaion to bar her from seeing the boys. Well, everyone was there the night of the 16th when I had her brother call her to arrange the visitation, so whatever, the court transcript speaks volumes for it'self.

AND, that little biride is on the roll to help me get out of that house, so I'm keeping spirits up that I will soon be free to navigate on my own without anyone else's false opinions and live for myself and my boys.

I am going in armed with the knowledge that the boys are doing much better off emotionally and that their lives are more structured versus bouncing from house to house. At least if all else should fail, this WILL establish a set visitaion schedule as far as they are concerned until a parenting agreement is made out.

Funny, the same one's that want to think the exact opposite of what was said and done in court are the same ones that helped her take the boys regularly without MY permission. And yet they see nothing wrong with that? Eff em all, all I need them for is to confirm their statements given to the PD the night of the inccodent.

As far as lawyers go, I have the Advocate Attorney's Office representing me, still don't have the funding to hire one on my own yet, but as soon as I get the heck out of that house, you can make it a sure bet that once I'm settled in, that will be taken of. I am going tomorrow with the only one person I can trust who also was there the night of the assault and the night of the 16th, so if I need back up right away, I have at least one wittness.

If I understand correctly though, tomorrow is just to see what her intent is on fighting the allegations to the O.O.P. Otherwise, yes the visitation issue will no doubt be cleared up. I will request the judge leave the 'no contact' stipulation, I've given this one enough opportunity to decide to talk rationally, of which when she does is only to gain something to her advantage. Otherwise on visitation, I would think the letters from the schools, phone record, and theft of my personal identity will make this a slam dunk for rights to standard visitation only.

Thanks for the positives, that helps
