[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 487437, member: 1169"] You are in great shape. If you have not been hospitalized since 2005, the court will likely consider that very old news. The fact that dad allowed Carson to live with you full time and that you have the other two nearly 50% tells the court that dad thinks you are a fine parent. I would recommend filing in court to formalize that status quo (Carson lives with you and sees dad 1 night per week, etc -- and that the other two remain on the schedule ordered by the court on XX/XX/XXXX date.) Hopefully you can find an attorney but if you go pro se, then be sure to read up on your rights, on court procedure, etc. (You should object to dad bringing up your hospitalization from 2005 since it occured prior to the last court order and it therefore not relevant to this proceeding.) (Even if it WAS relevant, you did everything right (a) made sure the kids were with a safe caregiver (b) sought help -- you did great.) Do not listen to ex's attorney as his job is to get ex what he wants and his attorney can try and convince you to roll over and let dad win. (Note: I am NOT an attorney and none of this is legal advice, just common sense from reading a lot of legal support sites. Legal advice can only be obtained from your attorney. ) [/QUOTE]
