I currently have primary residence, joint physical custody of our daughter. In July 2012, I had our daughter emergency removed through Ex parte because her father was constantly away on business. Now that he is home, he wants her back there. He filed a motion for custody and claim for trial list claiming I am neglectful. I am of course nervous and not sure if I should be or how I should pursue this matter. He offered me a custody agreement which i denied. When we spoke with the mediator last week, she told him his allegations were not solid and that is why he is requesting a trial for next wednesday, December 19th. His allegations are im forgetful, (i forget things on occassion but never forget to get my daughter. Just the fact, I have to be reminded of games, concerts and appts.) I am financial struggling (the mediator told him it is not a crime to be poor) I have a few glasses of wine after work (i never get drunk, leave our daughter or become unable to care for her) Our daughter told a counselor all this and she wrote a letter to the court which i was told by the mediator its inadmissable...is this true? Should I be worried. I can not financial hire a lawyer and already tried legal aid.
