[QUOTE="Isla, post: 654000, member: 18941"] You're pretty well hit the mark SomewhereOutThere! He is indeed a wealthy lawyer who knows exactly how to retain custody. If he were anything like the outside world sees him it would not be a concern to me. I know there is little I can do except do my best to keep on his "good" side. He is a reclusive, lives in squaller and is a major hoarder. Again no grounds for losing custody. Also he has made it quite clear to me (knowing I have documented information) that if I even attempted to challenge him there would be all hell to pay. The Courts granted my granddaughter an independent children's lawyer who is employed by the state. The problem is (although I apparently have the right to attend a conference with the independent children's lawyer) I cannot attend unless the parents tell me when and where it will be! It is so frustrating as if I showed him/her my records, the photographic and written (a kept a diary) evidence the lawyer (I would like to think) would include my husband and I in the Orders so we could legally have access to her regularly without having to grovel to the parents. As the Orders stand now, my daughter has supervised visitation rights 2 days a week from 4pm to 7.30pm (the supervisor has to be approved of by the child's father 24 hours prior). Then she has supervised visitation rights even other Saturday and Sunday for 7 hours, and returned each night to the father's home. She has to have frequent drug tests, including hair follicle tests. The father told us it is "draconian" and used to teach her a lesson. I was of the opinion the courts were there to work out what is in the better interests of the child. Even though he is a lawyer I thinks he's pretty naïve. Thanks for replying, it was sound, sensible advice! Kind regards It would seem my daughter is not paying her lawyer either which is hardly in her favour. She apparently threatened the father's life when he took her to [/QUOTE]
