Daughter taken — Family court
My former partner with a DV background has been suing me relentlessly for our daughter that he abandoned at birth. After I filed for child support, he filed for custody 11 days later. He lodged four motions against me just last year alone and lost every one. He himself has had CPS contacted against him by three different medical professionals for hurting our child. We just had a modification hearing and the magistrate determined that she was taking my daughter away because I frivolously contacted CPS. Not only did I never contact CPS in my life, our daughter has returned back from him with burns on her face, bruises on her face and worse a raw vagina with sores!!!! WHAT WOULD ANY MOTHER DO? Not take her to the doctor? I took her straight to Urgent Care because it was Sunday evening. The magistrate determined I was being vindictive and gave her father FULL rights. I’m a former public school teacher and educator for over 20 years. My daughter receives Beyond Excellent care in my care and absolutely nothing has ever happened to her in my care. I need to file exceptions or request for a new trial or something….but I can no longer afford my attorney. I have spent over $40k on his repeated legal onslaughts. Can anyone give IMMEDIATE directions on what I can do? I am beside myself and have been thrown into depression.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I don’t have any advice, just wanted to reassure you to stay strong
Thank you so much, Ali. I’m trying. I’m trying.
Dee, how are you doing? My narcissist partner is trying to manipulate the court system as well and I don't have much funds. Try to have your lawyer prove that what he's doing is abuse of litigation. Depression is so hard to go through so feel free to message me.
I'm proud of you and I admire your strength. I think it's beautiful how you turned this terrible situation into a wealth of knowledge to defend your child. Here I am crying and feeling hopeless and whether for weeks but you changed something in me. I got up and I don't know how but I found a different type of legal aid and I'm eager to start a community for recovery from my Narc abuse and set my goals high. So I thank the Lord you sent your message when you did. I'd love it if you could keep me updated with your growth or what has helped you
