DH's kid has two younger siblings, each with their own bio-dad.

Middle dad has custody, DH and last dad do not. Every year since the whole custody ordeal started with DH's kid and her middle sibling, Uberskank always starts something at the end of the school year with one of the dad's. The previous two years it was DH because he had custody. This year it's middle dad. Yup...because he has custody.

Middle dad called DH and asked for help. We were both able to provide assistance and advice, especially advising he retain the same attorney he used at prior hearings.

Uberskank was able to wrangle emergency custody of middle child and they have a hearing this week. DH will be one of the many testifying on middle dad's behalf.

I asked are you prepared for Uberskank to yank visitation for the rest of the summer because of this? He said yes, in fact he's making sure Judge Judy (nick-name, not the real one) will understand he's testifying knowing Uberskank will more than likely retaliate in some way, shape or form. Most likely making up excuses why his kid can't come and visit.

I asked why are you doing this? He said, because I do NOT want Uberskank to do to middle dad what she did to me last year. Middle kid deserves better than to be raised by Uberskank. She needs to stay with middle dad, who is obviously doing a much better job at parenting this kid. She's a lot younger than my kid and so she has half a chance of not being F'd up by her mother like how my kid is F'd up.

I'm going for moral support and he's going to testify. I know we're going to pay for this in a big way but I'm hoping our presence in Judge Judy's courtroom alone will help middle dad out.
