OT Court update

After a few ugly hours in court, the result was a draw--for now. The judge appointed an ad-litem attorney for the children, so I'll be spending at minimum $1800 on this guy. My ex's attorney is trying to find someone different, claiming this guy charges too much. Truth is, she doesn't want to face him.

In the meanwhile, ex got real upset when he realized that the police department was still investigating the abuse he caused. More than likely, there should be a warrant waiting for him the next time he shows up in Texas.

It's really upsetting that a child that never should have seen him nude was describing what this man looked like without his clothes on, and that he feels he can pick this guy out of a photo line-up from the waist down. It's even more upsetting that this creep thinks he should gain custody of my other two children.

Keep praying. This is going to take a lot of energy, but is well worth the fight.

Prayers continue for them and you. The draw is better than losing. Take heart from the on-going police investigation. If the police have enough o arrest him in Texas, surely he can be 'extradited' from wherever he is now?

The way the veins started popping out in his neck in the courtroom lets me know that he's worried and upset. I'm sure he thought this was over and that he'd never get caught.

He probably thinks he'll fight extradition if he's in California (where he just moved), but if things go our way, he'll answer to what he's done. He's been suicidal in the past, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if he opts to take that way out instead of facing how he hurt this child.

My prayers are with you and your loved ones. I've been trying to get a local judge to appoint an guardian at litem for my grandchildren but with no luck. Nice to learn that justice is serving you well.

We'll see what will happen when this is over. Justice hasn't done much but drain our pocketbook so far.
