we also have a court date coming up at the end of the month in a case involving custody of our son. i cancelled my lawyers services because at the time i thought that we could work it out between us. i also do not trust this judge because back in december after i had obtained a temporary custody order, he dropped it even knowing about her using heroin. now i do not have that money on hand to retain an attorney, and i dont want to risk the judge taking the care of our son out of my hands. i would rather dismiss and if when she comes home she is not obliging to my terms, i can always open up another case.
