I am so happy for you! It sounds like a good decision by the judge. They probably want to look more closely at this case and also perhaps see how it plays out meanwhile.

Make sure you are ready to record any interaction with W, maybe even bring a friend to pick-up and drop-off as a witness.

If you can go just for a little while on your D's birthday, I would. Just to give her a gift and see her and show your face. It will be hard, I'm sure, but it may influence her family to see you show up. Otherwise they could say, 'he didn't even show up for her birthday'.

Are you getting them every other weekend until the next court date?
