Developments

My father-in-law filed his grievance against the DSS worker/investigator as well as the Commonwealth of Virginia.  He filed because of lies that were told to all of us, the children, my husband and I, his wife and himself by the DSS worker.  He filed because of the amount of money he is out (both from missing work as well as money spent for a hotel for almost 2 weeks as well as a rental car).  He will be reimbursed for the near $5000 he and his wife are out.  He wouldn’t have asked if the lies we were told weren’t lies, and the girls would have gone with them back to their home as promised.

But we found out another piece of information: the ERO was filed, not because our children were being abused or neglected, and not because that their remaining in their own home with their own parents would be harmful (it wouldn’t be, but that’s not the point) but because they viewed us as a “flight risk”.  Because, you see, my husband, due to this fraudulent and negligent BS, has lost his job.  And it’s not just any job, he’s in the US Navy.  Because this is causing problems with his ability to work, they’re giving him an administrative discharge, effective July 15th.  We made the mistake of telling the DSS worker this (which we now know was a massive mistake) before our court date.  Obviously they were scared that the events would unfold like this: the grandparents would take the three children out of state to their home.  We, about a month later, would follow to the same state, same city (which is our home town anyway).  The grandparents would turn around and grant custody back to us, leaving the CWoV out of luck and leaving us out of their jurisdiction.

I can understand their fear.  But here’s the thing, if it was needed, either my father-in-law (who is retired) or my mother-in-law would have been willing to stay in Virginia until this was concluded, taking custody here and not leaving the state until the court said they could.  The judge herself asked my father-in-law if this was possible and he confirmed that it was.  But she stood by her ruling.  Her ruling on the ERO, which by the way, was filled with lies against us, and the “testimony” by the GAL that falsely stated my home was “unsanitary”, and seeing now, that that wasn’t the case all along, and the reason for the ERO wasn’t even explained to the judge.. there will be trouble.

The HEAD of DSS-HSS was the one who got in contact with my father-in-law, and spilled these beans.  All hell will break loose, I think, since the lies are unraveling like a cheap sweater.

I have an appt. with my Attorney tomorrow.  I am bringing any evidence I have personally, including, but not limited to photos of my home, medical records, educational records, etc.  I am ready and willing to fight this.  Please wish me luck, though I hope I won’t need it.
