Is there a domestic violence shelter in your area that might be able to give you a sense of which way things are likely to fall if you go back to court? (I'm not suggesting this because you're a victim of domestic violence but because shelter workers often have clients who are going through custody fights in court). I'd be careful with attorneys, because the not-quite-ethical ones have a tendency to tell you what they think you want to hear (for sure we can do this, you'll get what you're asking for, etc).
