WHAT!!

Today has been the most crazy day- i am just glad to take a percocet and lay down at this point! This morning Dave and I met with our old attorney because his son Jake wants to come live with us full time mow- he is 15 1/2. So after and hour and a half - here's the deal. He can do what he wants BUT to change custody we have to file a petition with the court and at the very least go through mediation- IF his mother doesn't think she is going to fight it try to take us to court- which if her attorney is smart - he will tell her there is NO WAY she can win.
So we basically left his office with this info: Jake can tell his mom he wants to live with us full time now- at the same time we serve her with papers to change custody- which we figured out with the attorney. It won't be "final" for at least 6-8 months- maybe Christmas- hopefully we can file for temporary custody at the same time so he can start school here this fall. All of this starts with a $1600 retainer and $75 a month for any additional fees. If she doesn't fight it- he figures we are looking at about $2000. Right now it may as well be a million.

THEN- on the way home we get a call from the property management company, saying the owner of the house we are renting wants us to rent-to-own, raise our rent $100 a month, and sell in the next 2 years to us. Otherwise she wants to find someone else who WILL do this ASAP. WHAT?!!!!!! We have a one year lease until the end of Sept. with the option to sign another year- so this changes everything- she can't make us move until the one year lease we signed up BUT chances are if we don't do this we will have to move out about 12 weeks! I think I willgo throw up now- this day sucks!!

Praying it will all work itself out! All we need is a raise or a second job! :) Right.
