Need Advice PLEASE!!!!

I stopped by the house today...I looked first to see if my husband was there...he was not. My puppy was back with his crate...I was soooooo happy to see the little guy. I checked the caller ID and sure enough there was an attorney's name on it. I KNEW he had gotten an attorney!

Well, I am trying not to jump the gun because wouldn't he need an atty. anyway because of the r/o against him for grabbing our little girls arm???

I have an appointment with legal aid through Susan B. Anthony Center tomorrow morning! He knows that the court date is set for Monday and said "If I am going to help you, we need to meet as soon as possible" I don't know if that means his is planning on attending the court appt. with me or just giving me advice??? I'm Scared to go without an atty. because I feel like they will tear me apart because of the financial stuff I hid!!!! I'M SCARED!!!!

I want to keep custody of our daughter and am going crazy thinking that he is going to get her!!! My eyes tear up every single time I think about it.

I told him in our conversation yesterday (the first one since he was served on Friday) that our daughter wanted to see him. She did, but does not ask about him a lot. He said that he would have to "talk it over" so I assumed he had gotten an atty. on Monday. He also said that he "closed our joint cking acct. because he needs to have control over the finances" and "if you or **our daughter** need any money for anything just call me and I will write a check".

THen my husband called me today and said that he can meet with us tomorrow night at Friendly's Restaurant in the town where we are staying (my parent's) and if that changes he would call me. I'm fine with that since I felt a public place would be best anyway and the r/o does not prevent him from seeing either of us. I will just need to hold it together and try to eat something...that will be the DIFFICULT part, but I will for the sake of our daughter. I do NOT want her to think her daddy doesn't like her!!!!

ADVICE PLEASE!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!
