I am back sorry it has taken me nearly 24hrs but i am here.............and no bub hasn't been in pain for 24hrs LOL
Emma - I was told while going through the process that all cases are treated differently and that you need to careful which battles you fight. My DD is now 4 yrs old and goes to her father once a fortnight for 4 nights until she attends school and then it is your basic one weekend a fortnight Fri - Sun and half school holidays. While in his care she is in a one bedroom house that she shares a room with him (which i am not happy about) but i wa advised not to fight this as the courts let fathers have their chidlren in a caravan as long as it is somewhere for them to sleep. When we were nutting out orders i just kept in my mind what was best for my DD, and excepted the fact that she needs to spend time with her father ( as much as i hate him and he didn't want her, it is her right) and she will decide when she is old enough whether she wants to go or not but at the moment she needs to. It is the hardest thing going through the court system. Noone fell pregnant for a complete stranger to make decisions about there child for them and that is the hardest part. The next hardest part is the cost to date it has cost me $28,000 and i am hoping that it is finally completed now (well until her father wants something to cahnge again or he is not happy about)
Goodluck with Everything Emma and if you wish to chat please do not hesitate to PM me whenever you need. Sometimes it is nice to have somone that will listen who does literally know what your going through.
Keep your chin up, look at your precious son and spend quality time with him and GO and GET LEGAL ADVICE....................................
