Les,

Check out www.findlaw.com There is TONS of info on that site, and it breaks it down by state. I found all of my ammo that I used against my ex-fiance when it came to ownership of my dog, Apollo (I won cuz he's with me full-time, and the ex can NEVER see him again due to the abuse my dog endured while in his care).

Maybe that will give your lawyer some starting points to work with while preparing your case.

And, as far as I've EVER heard...judges are more sympathetic to people who suffer from mental illnesses (ACK! Hate that term!) because ANY legal proceeding is stressful, let alone having to deal with a medical condition on top of it.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Much Love,
Jenn
