Temporary custody hearing tomorrow. She has D(1) so we'll see how things go. Lawyers said judges typically go with the W anyway regardless, and I have to use my ammunition after the hearing to work back towards custody.
W and her lawyer seemed shell-shocked, she agreed to way more than a judge would have given. I fired a broadside with the A evidence + the evidence on her prior mental history and all of a sudden they are trying to de-escalate and back off. The abuse claims seem to rely on a picture when she was pregnant where she had a bruise. I do remember her falling one time at the daycare when a child ran into her and having a bruise from that.
I was confident, collected, organized, W was sitting there with her arms folded and wouldn't look me in the eye. I built a ton of my own case file, and provided my attorneys with it - and they seemed "inspired" by the case I had built, and are ready to run with it.
Her attorney said "Well even with all this the best he'll do is joint custody." - but that is more than they've offered. So I'll keep plugging away.
DB-stuff is on hold really. Unfortunately I've got more pressing concerns than whether she'll straighten out mentally.
