I will be asked where I get my morals.

Which part of that page talks about a judge rendering judgement regarding custody based on the religion (or lack thereof) of one or both of the parents? I'm sorry, I honestly don't mean to sound sharp or anything, I'm just not seeing the post. Most of the entries on that page seem to be about Hurricane Katrina-related issues (plus a dabbling of other things, like Rudy Guiliani, circumcision, etc). Could you point me to a paragraph? Thanks!

No, you're right -- my link was to the archives for that month, and the actual post is about 2/3 of the way down the page, titled "Parent-Child Speech and Child Custody Speech Restrictions"

But I think this link should take you to the post in question.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Nope still waiting for the Action. My lawyer told me that he told her that it will happen sometime next week now. This is ridiculous.

Hmmm.... Sounds familiar. A buddy of mine was busted awhile back when cops responded to a domestic disturbance report, questioned him and his girlfriend in his yard, said there were reports that a child might be in danger, entered his house without his permission, and found something in her purse, which was on the night stand in his bedroom. (I reckon they thought an endangered child might be in there, hiding behind the Kleenex.)

His attorney moved to have the charges against him tossed out. (She fled to Florida -- smart girl. :rolleyes: )

The judge said he'd need to think about it. And he thought about it for 3 months.
 
I would be inclined to see it as a good sign that a quick answer was not given.

It wouldn't take much time for a judge to come out and say, "No visitation for you!"

I would guess that he is taking time to formulate an appropriate visitation schedule.

Best of luck to you.
 
Update! The Order came in today, I get visitation rights EVERY weekend and one other day per week that we can agree upon if no agreement is made it will be Wed! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Awesome news for both you and the baby! Congrats, this was the RIGHT decision.
 
First thing you do is say, "Hey, thanks for noticing that I have good morals. It makes me feel good that even a lawyer can see my moral strength. Now, what was the question again?"

Err, if it ever comes up again

You mentioned you said you'd take her to church if she wanted. Since you have her weekends, you may have to do this. If it's a big deal to the mom, the mom may prompt her daughter to ask you to do this. I have no idea if this is a dynamic with the mother, but keep it in mind.

My warmest congratulations.

But:

You will face quite a challenge now. The child is the midpoint of all this. Now you have the right to have her part of the time and your ex has the right for the other part. What will you do with that right, and what will your ex do?

Try to pull the child on your/her side? Pullig into opposite directions may easily stretch, twist or otherwise spoil the childs mind. You will have to be very clever, as well as sensitive to master this in the future.

I wish you and your daughter and your ex the best for the future, even more than I wished you for winnig at the court.
 
Congrats. It is hard to beat skeptigirls display...:) I hope for all the best for you and your daughter. I know where you are coming from.

Fill that little girls head with science, math and reason, and you will have a budding little skeptic and rational thinker in no time!
