Your lawyer should be able to advise you! He's certainly NOT doing his job! I would get the child's school records for one thing, i.e. attendance/grades, etc., and that would show that the mother isn't MAKING the child go to school, or do homework, etc. Your bf would have to get these records, as I doubt the school would give them to you. Perhaps your attorney could use these to show that the mother isn't "doing her job." You're going to need proof as far as showing that the mother is neglectful and isn't a "good" mother. Putting the child in bed with the 2 of them is certainly abusive. But I don't know how you're going to prove that unless the child talks to the judge, and that's not a good idea.

Like I said, your attorney should be advising you. Seems like HE could be coming up with some ideas. I wish I had some advice for you. Maybe others will chime in. I hope so! God bless and good luck! Hugs, Lee
