Update on court today ...

Apparently the "issue" for today was just about the visitation issue- I didnt hear anything about the wording of the temporary sole custody that his atty said he would approach this session.


1st off, I provided my atty w/ a written account of everything he accussed me of last nite at that meeting. My attorney then said that they still do not want supervised visiation b/c "M says you always left her with him while you worked, so you know he is a good father". I said "Yes, SOMEONE had to work to pay the mortageg & put food on the table, & he never included her in his rageful episodes. BUT those last couple of months he began to use her in that way, to try to get to me, & that’s when I realized I had to file for divorce". & since then, I have asked for only supervised visitation, once the RO was lifted on her.


I reiterated to my atty that after that incident at the visit, I KNOW his mental state is a mess, & I said "This is 1 thing I will NOT back down on. I know him, I know what he is capable of & I am the only one right now who can protect our daughter". He asked me to reiterate exactly what happened in the visit (I wont go into the fact that I would THINK he should have had that info at his fingertips ... but I have bigger fish to fry right now). He then, in my prescence, called STBX’s atty over & said "Terry (M's atty), I think you ought to speak to your client b/c he isnt telling you what really happened at that visit. My client is giving a total different account". M’s atty said, VERY belligerantly "Yeah, well we will just have to bring in J, the supervisor, & let HIM tell you what he saw, b/c I know what my client is saying IS the truth". He then looked me right in the eye & said "How long WAS that visit Rebecca?" I said "45 minutes b/c Averey called me at that point, upset & said she did want me to pick her up". He said, MORE belligerantly, "Yeah, right. After YOU called HER & TOLD HER you were coming to pick her up". I got SO mad, I mean I was FUMING (HUGE rash up my neck! lol), & I said "Check the phone records ..." he sort of blew that off & I said LOUDLY "CHECK THE PHONE RECORDS & you WILL see his is lying thru his teeth". (I am not happy either, that MY atty stood by & let that incident even happen, but it did just sort of happen quickly). & then I said "You arent my atty, I will speak to Jerry (my atty)
