[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 590264, member: 4264"] Is there someone at the court house you can call to ask those very questions? Be sure to state clearly she does NOT live with you, IS homeless, has NO job and you are NOT liable for her expenses for court and will NOT be contributing to her attorney, court fees, living expenses etc. That she is on her OWN with nothing and clearly IS indigent. There likely is some sort of appeal process. If you are inclined, you may want to assist that process just to ensure that all are clear you are NOT going to be footing any bills. Aside from that, if it happens that she ends up without an attorney? Maybe that's not such a bad thing. Nobody to help her dodge the consequences so to speak or get her off more lightly. She certainly hasn't been learning from her mistakes, perhaps this is the changing day in her world, as they say. I know that sounds heartless. Please know I don't mean it like that at ALL. I truly want the best for all the difficult child's on the board, and particularly something about your difficult child touches me and I find myself rooting for her despite mistake after mistake. I want to see her change, get clean, find joy and peace and become the mother that you want her to be and that baby needs her to be. I'm simply thinking perhaps this is a blessing in disguise. Regardless of how this all plays out, please know I don't post here much anymore but I do read frequently and have tried to keep up with everyones difficult children. I know how hard you are working on detachment and doing a great job about it. This may be the hardest test of that detachment for you, but I know you are up to the task. I'll keep rooting for your girl. [/QUOTE]
