Re: Help my daughter

Contact the family court and ask about the family law clinic. You should be able to get some legal advice about this situation. Also you should be aware that if the court appoints an attorney to represent the children that attorney have considerable influence on the court. Often such attornies view the situation much differently than a parent. You should consider mediation and if necessary proceeding to an evaluation. The big event coming up soon may be the reason for requesting a hearing before the event.
