Hang in there, although it must be really hard for you.
hard is an understatement

It could have been easily arranged to have a third party, such as an agent of the Family Court, be with you ( minus the ex ) while you had free time with your baby in chambers, or some such place for 30 minutes..I think your lawyer could have done more on this point..
We cant even find her address to serve her documents, and without service, all we can do is ask for location orders via the court to gov agencies in order to serve her, THEN they can do something about it. its VERY frustrating, she seems to think that she can get away with this forever,my lawyer is doing all she can to trace her, but legally, until she is ordered to do so, my EX can just sit it out like a buffalo in a lake
My lawyer, legally cant even serve the documents on her LEGAL AID lawyer (can you believe she is getting legal aid) in the DVO matter as they are not (as yet) representing her in the family court matter
My lawyer says that technically she (the buffalo) can drag this out for quite a while in the interim, but in the end, it will not be a good look for her. I tend to agree as i have also looked into options of orders without service, and there is no chance
patience patience patience patience patience
The law really does not help parents when one decides to leave, without a court order telling the authorities what to do.
I had a big clean out today, got rid of every single trace of her in the house and dumped anything she left behind, I dunno if ive said this before but, im relieved she is not around me, the past 4.5 months have been a nightmare of abuse, violence and erratic behaviour from her to me and my daughter, im GLAD she has gone
12 days to go til the first court date so im over the worst of the wait
