Thanks everyone for your prayers! We didn't get out of court until 5 pm this evening. I am sooooo tired and worn out.
However, we won the first battle. He have custody of DS until our hearing on Sept 1st. We will then find out what our next step is and if we will continue to have sole custody or if we will revert back to the parenting plan we have in place.
One good thing though, was the court was less than impressed that DS has been subjected to what he has been for at last 3+ yrs. We just have to build on that.
Our two younger boys will be camping with their grandma this weekend, so that will give DH and I some good qaulity time with oldest DH by ourselves.
Again, thank you for your prayers, they worked.
