but i would also love any advice that you may have to help me (other than get a lawyer.... lol... not an option unfortunately).. my ex-wife and i got separated on april 24, 2003. i spent over $12,500.00 on lawyers just to get to see my kids.

she tried everything in the book to try to prevent me from seeing them, including lying to the police and having me thrown in jail for a night, calling children's aid on me 9 times, (all not substantiated), and most recently by trying to hire someone to beat me up.. we ended up having a settlement conference on june 22, 2004, from which twenty-nine different orders were made, including joint custody with primary residence with her, that my children were ordered to not go to the kingdom hall anymore, access times, support, not moving away, etc.

I remember how nervous I was the first time I had to go to court regarding custody issues. I've had to go back many times since, and I feel just as nervous/scared as I did the first time (and I never had to represent myself, so I can only imagine how you're feeling right now).

I'm sure you are already well-prepared... good documentation of your ex's violations of the previous orders of the court, etc...

Remember to breathe, and I'll be sending some positive vibes your way tomorrow.

(do you think it would help to have another custody evaluation?)

Good luck!

my wife and i have not been to a meeting for well over a year.

we are not disfellowshipped, but would be if we admitted to the elders what we've been up to, mainly smoking.

we was both born and raised in the "truth".

nicholas d. kristof .

in the last few months, three different us federal judges, each appointed by president reagan, have found a total of eight journalists in contempt of court for refusing to reveal confidential sources, and the first of them may go to prison before the year is out.

Regarding Robert Novak, I love the way Jon Stewart put it:

"In a related story, reporter Robert Novak leaked the identity of an active CIA agent
over a year ago and is still allowed to darken the phosphor dots of my t.v. tube.
Just thought I'd mention it."
