In there her reasons were are you ready for the ridiculous lies, my daughter as suicide ideation (yet neither on of the therapists has ever told me that and I ask them all the time how she is doing)
Hi Wolf,
I'm so sorry you're going through all this. I have to say the courtroom interactions baffle me.
A family member went through a contentious divorce. They made accusations. Their ex made accusations. The court gave them each an opportunity to prove them. My family member could prove their allegations. Their ex could not prove their allegations. The court moved appropriately. I don't know why your lawyer would shy away from that process. It wasn't as complicated as TV dramas--mostly collecting sworn testimonies, official documents, etc. If they didn't consult or inform you of their choices in a way that made sense to you, if they didn't get the outcome they said they would, I'd have a conversation with them, and seek a second opinion if you don't like their answers.

Maybe speak to your child psychologist? The DB mantras "I control me, you control you" don't apply to a 13-year-old. My D is better off with me in her life--even if I make her do homework and eat vegetables. Given the rift between you two, and you don't claim your ex is a bad mother, it's harder to answer what's the right path.
Just for LH, wagging my finger at introducing a pregnant GF so soon after D! More seriously, I moved-in a GF and her D with my kids, and my D is still slightly impacted two years later.
