Just wanted to let the Brotherhood know that the custody SNAFU I've been asking for prayer for two months about has been resolved. The judge listened to all the evidence presented by Child Services and the District Attorney today and dismissed the case in it's entirety without prejudice. My GOD is an awesome God and I thank each of you that offered up prayers for those prayers and to acknowledge that the BOC is the greatest place in cyberspace. There are few, if any, places in the real world that can contribute to our lives as well as this Brotherhood does.
That's great news Mike. I'm happy and relieved for you. I know you have been under a tremendous amout of stress with all this. There is some justice in this world.
Mike, congrats! That is super. I just want to warn you not to throw away any documentation or information you developed for, or used in the hearing. It caught my eye where you said it was dismissed "without prejudice." I think that means the judge left the door open for family services, etc. to refile the case. So keep that in the back of your mind. Make some notes of anything that you would do differently if the issue ever came up again. Any issues that were raised that were news to you, etc., so you can prepare even better if they do try again.
Larry,
Perhaps I stated it wrong. The judge explained it and called it "without prejudice" in that DHS CANNOT come back and re-file unless there is another incident of "abuse or neglect" real or alleged.
I never doubted that my kids were innocent and that GOD was in control.
As Mr. T would say, " I pity the fool that tries that again."
