Yesterday was our final court date for our custody battle for my husbands two oldest boys...which sounds odd to say cause they are my boys and I think of them as my own....
But we Won custody of the boys, their biological Mother does have visitation but we have Custody...hip hip hooray!!!
She made her self look like a fool. She couldn't remember what grade our oldest boy was in. One of our witnesses was the Special Ed teacher for the 11yr od. ( for behavior he's adhd and lots of other stuff) and she testified that we had be very involved in Travis's school and his behavior at school and his homework etc. And that she never was that way.... (she testified on many other topics too) then once Kim was called to the stand she sat there and said that she was involved in all sorts of things and school and listed the stuff that Mrs Dugan our witness had said that we do and she did not...
Which made her look like a complete IDIOT. Because what she didn't know is her standing there testifying that what our witness said was not true was a really stupid move,
So she sat there and called the Judges friend/ a professional that has worked in the school system for years a liar.... Yeah she's not real bright!
But the BEST part of all of it was when we came home and sat down with the boys to tell them what the judge had decided. They were THRILLED so relieved to know that they could see their mother but wouldn't have to live with her and that they could stay here.
Especially the youngest one, he has been saying all along that he misses his mother, when you ask him where he wants to live all he will say is that he wants to live her but he really really misses his mother. And he's not a child that hardly ever shows any sort of genuine emotion, it is usually way over dramatized and exagerated to where it is some what fake, but it was true genuine happiness that he would get to stay here.
The last time he told his mother that he wanted to live with his dad he told her that he loved her and she said WHATEVER, and kind of shoved him away, and it broke his heart, it causes him to cry to this day to talk about it. So I honestly believe that is why he would never say that he didn't want to live with her.
They were both so excited that they were going to stay with us permanently could still see their mother but knew that they would be in a home where they were loved and cared for 24/7 not just when it is convienent...
