Need prayer for safety and trial.

[ladey_hawke]

I have to drive to California for the final custody hearings for my daughter. I leave on Monday. My ex is trying to get sole custody of her and here's the kicker: He's not her father. This has been going on for 18 months now and she has been shipped back and forth between the two states for that long. My lawyer quit since I cannot pay him and I will have to represent myself in court. My daughter is only 2 1/2 and it will kill me if she can't come home with me once and for all. Please, please pray for me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot and bless you.

Update....

I made it out there and back fine...thanks for the prayers for my travel.
I didn't have to go to court, he agreed to go to mediation, and had agreed to fly my daughter to me instead of her driving back. Now he is changing his whole tune. It was a stall tactic. He has had her since March 20 and now who knows when I'll get to see her again. I'm going to have to set up another date for court and go back out there. The only good thing is that the mediator can testify about what a dink the ex is.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. My daughter's name is Emily. Thank you and God Bless.

Praying that things will work out for you.

I have 2 children and although my situation is a little different from yours.....I know how it feels to send a child to a place you don't want them to go. The courts here in Ky aren't that great either and although they claim to have the kids best interest in mind it sure doesn't show. I hope the courts there are different.

Prayers are sent your way.

BTW, how did the hearing go? Please update us? Did you get your daughter I hope?

How are you and Emily?Has she been sent to you yet?

[ladey_hawke]

Me ex and I went to a mediator who told him that Emily should come and be with me and he said ok. Then he reneged on everything that he had said. We lost our trial date because of the mediation and now he won't let Emily come home. I have been trying to work with his attorney to get her home for at least a few weeks and he fired her and is representing himself.

A note of good news... I am representing myself also and now that he is without an attorney, I sent in a request to the judge that he order that she be allowed to come home until we can go back into court for trail. I should know by tomorrow if the judge signs the order or not.
