I lost custody

Take it from someone who has been through the ringer. Loosing custody of one of your children is devastating.

This is my second child that I have lost in a custody battle. My sons father did this to me when my son was just six. Now my daughter's father just walked into the court and took away physical custody. All cause he bought a lawyer.

It is a long story about the custody issues we have been facing and if you haven't been following my blog, you won't know that this was retaliation for when I kept my daughter here. It was the night he wanted to take her and she didn't want to go so I called the cops and they allowed her to stay.

Shortly after that he went into the court with a lawyer and said that I threatened to leave the state with my daughter and he smelled pot when he came over. He also said that I would act funny when he was here like move things around to different tables. I swear that was what he said.

I went in without a lawyer under the impression that everything was alright. He was getting along with me to my face, and we were suppose to drive to court to give me back physical custody from my hospital stay.

I will never drive to court with him again. He started this huge fight with me on the way in and had me all upset when we got in the court. He didn't tell me he had a lawyer waiting til we were half way there. It took us two hours in traffic then I had to drive home with him.

I still have joint legal custody but he is a sly one. The judge let him keep physical custody and I had to have supervised visits with my daughter. I was fit to be tied and walked out on the judge while he was still talking.

Like I said this happened to me with my son. A good lawyer can buy you anything in court. I lost my son for six years until he was twelve and he walked in the court himself and said he wanted to come live home with me.
