DH told me his lawyer called today. His lawyer went and talked with judge, and there is a court date set for February 3rd.

I am scared shitless. I was PRAYING DH would call this off. That he would tell his lawyer just to file for CS modification only (because of job loss). Once Dr. Evil finds out DH has lost his job she will drag this out to bleed every penny she can She has told SD, "Your dad spends all his money in court trying to take you away from me." Dr. Evil has money, and will spend whatever necessary if it means it drains DH's funds.

I am scared of the outcome from this. DH thinks that Hex's lawyer will ask for a continuance, which is what he kept doing last time.

I am also afraid because several months ago I attempted to contact Dr. Evil in order to co-parent. This was stupid of me, I know. I was still naive. I inquired what foods SD eats at hexs house, what vitamins she takes, discipline, etc. I sent an email, and then Dr. Evil called me. I could hear the beep and an echo, so I am very certain she was recording me. Dr. Evil rambled on and on, and was quite friendly but I do remember her asking, "I didn't think DH was interested in co-parenting?" I stammered (not wanting to blame her) and just said, "I think it's a good idea." I am afraid she will use this against DH in court. I did not say anything bad happens here with the exception of SD getting angry and hitting her friend. She then denied it happens at her house or she has ever known SD to hit (this is proven untrue by school records). and we have not communicated since. DH knows of the call, but not the details. He told me just to never co-parent with her as she will twist everything. In the call, Dr. Evil told me SD does not know about sex. Two and a half weeks later, SD was telling me one of "secrets": that her mother told her all about sex, what screwing is, and that she HAS to keep sex a secret from her dad or else her dad will try and take her away from her mom. How bad did I ruin the case by trying to co-parent and listen to hex ramble on with lies?

How does this process now work? The lawyer talked about wanting to establish a GAL. I am hesitant about this, as I've read they are pretty much useless. Unless the GAL actually digs deep to figure out WHY SD strongly prefers her mother, our case is as good as lost. Given the fact SD has no counselor yet either, just my documentation of the PAS, I don't think this will do anything except now make me a target and make the PAS worse.

I could seriously cry, Im so worried. I don't want this.
