My name is Alissa, I have a beautiful 5 year old daughter. For the past year and a half I have been going through an agonizing child custody case. To put things in perspective, I started dating my daughters father when I was 16, he was 19. When I was 19 I became pregnant. I had our daughter on May 22, 2002 and we did not marry until June 15th 2002. We were also pushed into getting married when neither one of us wanted to get married. He comes from a very religious background. After our seperation we worked out a schedule where he gets her on his days off, which are two days a week. He did not pay me one penney for her until we had our first temporary hearing and I was awarded temporary child custody and child support. At our first hearing the judges first words out of his mouth were that he knew my daughters fathers father and was there any arguments to that. Me being the person that I am, thinking that there is a good person who will not be biast said no, we can continue. At our second hearing with all the exact same information he had at the first hearing, he then elected my daughters father primary custody. My daughter has been with me for 5 years almost everyday. I had to tell her yesterday that she had to go live with her daddy and she cried for an hour and even called him and told him she didn't want to live with him because she's not happy there. When I was looking over the papers, EVERYTHING in the papers that states the reasons I can't have her is strictly hearsay from my daughters mother. Everything and ANY evidence that I had on him (even my witness testimonys) were never even brought up in the final judgement. Not ONE WORD of anything that he has put JOcelyn and I through. I had close to 180 pages of dates and times of things that were written down right after they happened, and it's like he didn't even bother looking at any of the evidence or testimony against him. Now, keep in mind that if he knows his dad, he most lilkely knows his mother as well and he let her take the bench and testify. I am filing for an appeal, but I want to know what else I can do. I won't have my daughter anymore except every other weekend until this appeal is accepted and we go back to court. If we win the second trial, I want to sue the judge for fraudulant judgement of character due to conflict of interest. I guess what i'm wanting to know is how do I go about doing this and do you think it's plausable?
Thank You very much
