Nezi...this doesn't sound right. I think you need to find another attorney. I seriously doubt any judge would take a one year old away from their mother in these circumstances. Call your present attorney and verify that you heard him/her correctly. It just doesn't sound right...

nezi,

First thing you need to do is find a new attorney. I'm not sure your current one.....from your recent posts....is doing everything he/she can be doing for you.

Did you leaving knowing that divorce was being filed? Did you leave after you were served papers?

I would like to know a few more details about your story.

What you mean by you left when your H showed up with the OW?

If you now know that divorce was filed.....find out the date it was actually filed.

What state do you live in?

i was at my parents, for about a month then H calls and asks for divorce. A month later i come back to where H lives and got an apt, to finish my last sem of school. a couple of days later, he asks to take daughter for a few hours. H comes in a diff car, i asked whose car, after 4 diff lies, he gets angry, so i let him go, at this point i'm very suspicious. later he shows up with OW to return daughter. i left the next day, and had no contact with him for a few months. but he did know where i was, i just didn't want to talk to him, at that point, now they find that irresponsible of me, etc. i don't understand how emotionally devastated you have to be to do something like that! i left and didn't speak to him. unsure of what to do now.

Did you leaving knowing that divorce was being filed? Did you leave after you were served papers?

he had threatened to file but i assumed he didn't cause i had not received anything. I was never served, but he saying that i left to avoid being served.

i wasn't even there when it was filed.
