[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 646017, member: 1233"] Are you in a 1 bedroom with 2 children not of the same gender? If so, that COULD be an enormous problem. Depending on where you live, you may be required to have a separate bedroom for boys and girls. If the sw finds out your boyfriend stays overnight in a 1 bedroom with both of your kids, it could also be an issue. NOT because you are dating, just that there can be no privacy in that situation. I only am aware of this because a friend's ex tried to have joint custody but was in a big open retail space that he had partitioned into a big open living area and a single bedroom. He was not allowed to have joint custody mostly because he had 2 boys and 1 girl and he had a girlfriend who was there with them also. No privacy was a huge problem and so was living in a retail space not zoned for it. The zoning could have been overlooked, but the kids needed privacy and boys and girls could not share a bedroom. I thought you were in at least a 2bdr, and if so that is likely not a problem. Right now don't worry about sorting stuff. Get it into boxes stacked in an out of the way place or a cheap storage unit if you can. Label the boxes however you want if t makes you feel more organized. Make a plan to go through a certain number of boxes a week so that you get the stuff organized, but you likely don't have time for that now. Just put it in boxes and sort it later. That will help with the 'hoarder look' that apparently is part f the complaint. As for the principal, you need to discuss the situation. Did she really just walk in with-o knocking? Did she take private property without asking you or having your permission first? Did the two of you talk about taking the computer away if difficult child missed school again? If there was no such agreement, what on earth was she thinking by stealing the computer? If she claims there was an agreement, does she have it in writing that she could barge into your home with-o knocking and take your property? You need to see an atty about that. It was highly illegal for her to do this with-o permission from you. If you did agree to remove the computer if difficult child missed school again, did you agree to allow HER to remove it or say that you would? Why would she not have you give permission in writing if she did get your permission to do this? You might actually be able to sue both the principal and the district for this theft, but you should speak to an atty before you speak to anyone at the school about this. FYI, I don't think you gave her permission to do this, but I can see her claiming that you did. Which is why I asked if she got permission in writing. If I was going to do a theft, I would get permission in writing from the homeowner before I even got into my car to go over there. ANY not-stupid person would because the situation SCREAMS "Shoot me or call the cops because I am a burglar!!" At least in my state the shooting would likely happen.
