hi shellcrusher-
why file the 30 day notice if what you want is for your child to stay in school? why not just let that deadline pass?
shellcrusher, it really appears to me that you might need to get the courts involved, even if it's only to give you custodial rights temporarily.
the stakes are too high. you can't leave a two year old with an active alcoholic all day long. it only takes one accident, and alcoholics make many mistakes. mine use to leave the oven on, drop cigerettes, fall asleep in a minute, drive drunk, leave faucets running...
why don't you speak to your lawyer and see what your options are here...
