We went to court again yesterday. it had been rescheduled because the court had not appointed an attorney for the unknown father. We showed up again yesterday, our attorney walks in and then pulls us into the hallway to tell us that the court still hasn't appointed an attorney. Can't our attorney find this out online or with a phone call? This has been going on for over a year, and everytime she steps into court it is costing me more money. I'm tired and feel beaten down at this point. It doesn't help that I lost my Mother and buried her a few days ago. All I wanted to do is protect my grandaughter. We are running out of money, and just want this over with. Now we go back the end of March, I hope they are ready to hear the case at that time. The stress is killing me.
The (lawyers) maneget to break us we still have not got caught up.
My opion we all have to come up with the money for a lawyer so should these mom's and dad's.
I had court today (CASA) the mom and dad neither one showed up and had to reshdule also.I took a day off of work for nothing. But as I drove there I prayed, there is a few lose ends I didn't get to tie up and now I will get to...it'll make my case much stronger with the lose ends all tied up.
So take this time to make sure and use this time as if it is the LOrds way of fixing something. We always take it as a negative when things don't go right but for the most part they usually are an answer to a prayer. I just try to remember he is always guiding me so there is a reason he put things off.
