Soc, you may remember the bug bite/handcuff  issue of my SD. We have interviewed atty's and have made a decision but have not yet hired her. It is likely that come July 1 (or whenever BM lets us get "child") that we will move for emerg temp custody. The atty tells us it may be as late as Sept for the hearing which comes after school begins. If this hearing does takes place after school begins, it would mean "child" will begin Grade 2 at her 5th school.
BM inability/refusal to provide "child" with a stable lifestyle will be one of the issues brought to hearing. (20 residences in 6 years, 4 schools grades K through 1, 2 husbands, since divorse from NCP and unknown # of short term cohabiting boyfriends ALTHOUGH since last Order, 1 on again off again new husband, 4 schools, 2 provable places of residence

1) Is it reasonable or legal to ask for Child Support suspension during the time we have temp custody?

2) What if anything can be done to prevent interuption into "childs" school year?

Yes.

You use the word "emergency." If your attorney believed that an emergency existed, she would be in court yesterday. So, while you may like the attorney you have chosen, you may not be getting the straight scoop.

I strongly suggest that you have the attorney give you a written memo of her opinion of your chances and her legal theory of the case, because you may be just about to flush a whole bunch of money down the drain.

would you still have the same opinion knowing that we have not payed her fees yet?
