I'm sorry, MixedBag, I sent private messages on here to the 3 moderators listed at the top. Anyway, thank you very much for your help! And thanks to everyone else as well.

Just take out the two states I mentioned then. Would that be okay? I'm not going to answer through my email - just one of my rules.

There seems to be a failure of communication here. I AM NOT talking to the ex's lawyer. My son gave HIS lawyer permission to talk to me, because I've been doing all the PI work on the case. Geez.

I've sent messages to all 3 moderators to delete this thread. Don't know what else I can do.

I said our son's EX has the new lawyer. Look, is Ocean on here at all? I need to know how to delete this thread.

I have acquired permission to discuss the case with my son's lawyer. I'm just afraid that some of these people will see what I've said here and use it against us. My son's ex has a new very young male lawyer who seems to be out to make a reputation for himself, at our expense.

Is there some way to delete this thread? I'm afraid our lawyer (or my son's ex's lawyer) might find it. We have no more money for another lawyer if she drops us. Thanks.

Thanks! I feel like a fool but at least I'm not alone in this.

I've always had a strong bit of ESP - it's overwhelming at times - keeps telling me this will end badly if we don't act on it quickly. But my hands are tied.

We've always steered clear of any kind of government institution - even homeschooled our kids - so this whole thing goes against our basic values - and we're powerless to stop it. But that's the reality of modern society, I guess:(

I'm going to go drown my sorrows in some mindless TV entertainment and try hard not to freak out.

Wow - this morning I sent a long email to my son's lawyer, a heart to heart thing as you all suggested. She blew me off like a feather! Said she's doing everything she possibly can and MY SON can call her Monday with any concerns HE has. I felt like I'd been slapped in the kisser.

If I had the money I'd ditch her right now but I guess she knows she has us over a barrel. This doesn't look good for our custody hearing if she's not even open to suggestions.

My heart is really crushed. But I guess I should've known better.

You're right. I've been going over the emails the lawyer sent to my son and it gave me a reality check. If the bio mom is refusing any visitation then she is too far under her mother's control. All we can do is get our house in order and hold steady. I hope we can handle it. My 81 year old mom keeps asking when she can see the baby. It's a brutal situation.

Thanks again!

Peace

Well, I've got to try something. I just don't know how we can get through a court hearing. Our whole family is made up of shy introverts. We've never even had dealings with the law before, beyond a speeding ticket or a car wreck. I'm afraid we'll all have panic attacks!

But the bio mom is prone to panic attacks, too, so maybe she'd like a way out of going to court as well.

Thanks for the responses!
