Well, had my case conference and got absolutely nowhere. Judge didn't even hear me - this was the same judge that just a month earlier told my ex she had to allow access with my daughter and to allow us to have a relationship. As soon as I tried explaining that it got worse after we were in front of him prior he stopped me and said he's "not going to hear anything today". Sigh.
Anyway, OCL just responded to our intake forms and are providing a lawyer. No investigator. This is extremely disappointing as my ex has been trying to turn my daughter against me for years and for all intents and purposes, has finally succeeded. A lawyer taking the position of my child is great and all, but if that child has been coached what to say and has years of manipulation already, how can that be even remotely informative after just a couple of interviews?
NOT feeling good about all this. Every step of the way from my lawyer, to duty council, to the judge over the summer has told me that my ex can't be doing this (not allowing access, etc...), but she is and seems to be getting away with it. What to do now? Do I have any options or just let my train derail and look at the mess afterwards?
Thanks.
