Legal, Cost, Etc. Update

Some new costs are in. I have to pay the court reporter $1200 for the transcript and it seems we must have that to proceed. I've given them a deposit of $750 for now. I also got a bill from the CFI and owe her about $300 thus far (after paying a $1750 retainer last month). And I'm about to have to pay the psychologist $900 this coming week once she completes her report. Yikes, huh?!

Have had some discussions with Bevin. That's not going well. He's not wanting to give me agreed-upon time with Christopher even. And he keeps delving into our past relationship in really emotionally raw ways that just knee-cap me for a bit.

My attorney continues to be largely unavailable. Maybe she's trying to save me money, but it's completely disconcerting. I need her. She has been clear that she is nervous about how much I owe her, but I really am doing all I can.

Did get to talk to another attorney to review some of what we've done thus far in the case. It was a great discussion. She was an attorney in NY and she's a total intellectual. And, emotionally, I really, really needed to hear her shock over what's happening; where the case has gotten in all of this. And that consultation was free...We love her!

Other than that, I continue to work on and think about all of the issues in this custody case night and day. I'm pretty stressed out, but I just feel like there's not enough time to get everything done that must be done. I have to get my baby back!

HUGE thanks to Bonny for all her hard work and to Tim for his perfect, consoling way of offering a hug...even long distance!
