Re: Sorry I haven't posted sooner...(long)

,

I'm glad that things are working out for you. The court system

can be very difficult. It seems like judges can be bought so easily

now days. They sometimes do not take the children's wellfare into

consideration. I hope that your son will get to be at home with you

soon.

Hugs,

I have paid over $150,000 in attorney fees and he has paid less than

$15,000. 3) I get Cody every other weekend until trial. My ex always

tried to deny access and we now have a signed order! 4) We are going

parent that never even tried to visit with his children for over 3

years. No child support, no insurance, nothing. He was also found

guilty of neglecting our autistic son and they removed child from

his home permantly. I have FULL custody of .

P,

I have been gone from the group for awhile but I've been catching

up on old post. Sorry to hear everything you and Cody have been

through. Don't give up sounds like you have won half the battle. You

sound like a very caring mother and have been through an ordeal to

get him back. Hang in there it will pay off. It's nice to see

someone who realizes that this court stuff is rough on the kids also

but at same time Cody will always remember how hard you fit to get

him back. He's very loved! Wishing you and your family the very

best! Hope this is resolved soon, Donna F
