Many times, the opposition does their best to postpone and postpone in an effort to run up the mother's attorney's fees, and this happens far too often and no one seems to think about the fact that the ONE person putting a roof over the child's head is destroyed merely because she had the NERVE to report abuse.

(remember, I am not talking about cases where the parents are able to come to an agreement on their own. and it DOES happen, But I'd bet $$$ that there arent any abusers in THOSE cases. Or else, there is an absent parent who just doesnt care, and really, after what I've been thru, I'd consider an absent parent a BLESSING)

This is really sad, and evil. You are a strong lady.
