Give me strength...
Okay some of you know of the issues I've been having with Son of Satan (my ex-husband) - for those of you who don't - here's a brief story. I have custody. SOS hates paying child support, can't hold a job for nothin, has an autistic son - makes our daughter be primary care-giver when she's there - has WAY too much visitation (3 weekends every month and 8 weeks in summer, every other spring break, and 1 week at Christmas)
Last Christmas he decided to try and take her away from me through court stuff. I went to court in April and FINALLY today I find out that the magistrate has papers/ruling. I called my lawyer up to actually hit him up for a pledge, knowing that it was just stupid and hopeful on my part that there would be an answer. He told me he'd call me back in 5 minutes - well, that's been 20 minutes ago and I just want to vomit.
Give me the strength to accept whatever verdict/recommendation the magistrate makes and the patience to wait for my attorney's phone call!!!
THAT was the LONGEST 5 minutes I've endured in a while!
So here's the deal. He doesn't get more time, they impude his income based on last years wages, BUT - because I gave him more time that what was outlines (my daughter asked for times) it bit me in the arse and now he gets reduced child support, but it's still more than the less than 1/2 of what he use to pay. So, I'll get a check (hopefully soon) for what he now owes in back support since December and nothing more changes! Well, except it's now "shared" custody.
How scarey for you. What now does shared custody mean? How does your daughter feel about this arrangement?
I know how you feel...my "stupid" husband (will not give me a divorse after 15 years) has never wanted to see my four, nor did he pay any custody. Now he is missing his grandson and his wonderful grown children.
I'm sorry you are going through this emotional ordeal. My prayers are with you and your daughter that this is the best for her and that angels are sent with her on each visit.
Feel better soon.

My friend Susan always says that if she had used the law firm of Smith and Wesson instead of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe, she would be out of prison by now and her kids would still be the better for it! 
I think I agree with her. Despite the fact that I am married to my wonderful DH for 27 years, I have seen what monsters people can become in divorces/child custody cases. My prayers are with you.
