Just got back from the lawyer’s office, so, I am a bit torn. On one hand she did give me some positive things but yet on the other hand, she gave me some negatives to deal with.
First of all, let us get the negatives out of the way. She said, after listening to me for an hour or so, that it would be an uphill battle, but it is possible. She asked if Cindy would fight and I responded with yes with every fiber of her being. She will not give up the child support for any reason, especially since she quit her job. That is the other negative, now that she is home, supposedly that gives her the chance to be a better mother. Sorry, but all the tea in China would not help her to be a better mother. There is another option, which I didn’t like the sound of, but she could have the court petition that a Custody Specialist come to both homes and observe for a week to see where Kenz would best be able to live.
Now, the positives, there is a chance that I could win. There are some grounds of neglect. Especially with the UTI and now the Thrush, since Cindy isn’t getting her to the doctor’s my chances are extremely good. Also, if Kenz can go to the court psychologist, we might be able to establish grounds of neglect, mental abuse, and mental cruelty.
So, who knows what will happen. I am not sure how I am going to handle this one. I am open for suggestions because I want what is best for Kenz. I know that we can provide a very good home for her and all the love she needs, but is that what is best? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
