Now Let The Games Begin...

Now let the games begin....

No this is not a game. This is very serious. This is legally "Our Last Stand" and the beginning of our custody battle for Rinda's sake. In the past we have asked for only the rights that my husband already has according to the law. We only asked for his rights as a father with joint custody to be enforced. Now we are asking for full custody. With Rinda's 17th birthday only a month away, time is of the essence My husband did take a trip to the city last week to interview the "finalist" from our extensive attorney search. He did hire one. Again, all of our hopes are placed in the hands of the this one person to put all resources toward helping our situation and to guide our journey through the often long and winding roads called the Family Court System. Again, we are going to hope for the best. What is different this time is that we MAY HAVE found an attorney that actually cares about what happens to Rinda ( I stress the words, may have). We are still in the honeymoon phase of the process. We've paid the retainer fee and signed a contract. We are "sceptically hopeful" at this point. After all, having some hope is much better than where we've been for so many years. Having some hope is a relief from living in total despair as those of you who have experienced the effects of PA know all too well.
