Let's see...

She had a crazy attorney issue... She is notorious for dropping attorney's and this was no different.
Her previous attorney wanted to withdrawal, she said OK... not that simple, but another lawyer put in a motion for appearance...
The issue is we had multiple cases joined.. DVI and Paternity, so that caused some confusion, but didn't hurt me as I had a single lawyer.

She showed up for the video hearing in bed in a nightgown, claiming she was recovering from coronavirus and was on multiple drugs.
I wasn't sure to be scared because of sympathy or what at that point.

Her new attorney showed up, but he was just there for her DVI dismissal hearing that she was able to get on the docket.
My attorney was fine with that.. I was a bit worried. I didn't want this woman near me ever again.. she's crazy dangerous.
I testified, I was cross-examined.. my attorney asked for 2 years no contact, the judge ruled that he just needed to believe there was a battery and said there was, 2 years of no contact granted...

Wow... It's been 115 days at this point... I was stunned, the tide is turning. 1 for 1. Her DVI lawyer leaves... she's there Pro Se (without attorney)

The next stop, to see if the paternity case would be continued... I kept saying... please god, no I just want to see my child.
She starts playing the sympathy card once again... She has no money, has called multiple different attorneys looking for anyone that would do Pro Bono work, wasn't getting child support from me, had applied for assistance etc etc...
My attorney said it would be prejudice to me to not have this hearing go forward as it has been almost 4 months and I haven't seen my daughter once during this time.
The judge immediately said, this may seem harsh... and I'm like nooooooooooooo I wanna see my daughter please... (in my head of course)
I am NOT Granting a Continuance...
The look on her face, laying in bed in her nightgown was epic insanity... I have to go Pro Se!?
Judge: Yes
Her: Even though I'm still waiting on financial assistance etc...
Judge: Yes, we cannot wait for you to see if you get it and you've had ample opportunity to find counsel.

We then move forward...
She asks if she can try to contact her lawyer... The Judge says OK, then leaves for a break.
She reaches her lawyer who didn't show up, and demands that he show up because the judge said so and he was not happy and she was tanking hard and losing. The problem is, she didn't mute her mic... Yes, it was wild.
The Judge calls he lawyer... and basically said, you don't need to be here, enjoy your weekend
The look on her face was wide eyed.. it was like WTF... you aren't going to make him show up here? WHAT.. I have to go alone? NOOOO
Judge: Yes

She continually interrupted the judge, my lawyer, her lawyer when he was there for the DVI and me over and over.
It was a sad display as she also objected about 75% of the time.
She even tooted her own horn during the hearing by saying YES! a couple of times when the judge ruled in her favor as well as her eye rolling, OMG statements and repeated interrupts by saying stuff which brought her camera to the forefront... nothing better for her to be continually seen in her nightgown laying in bed. On another note, nobody believes she even had COVID-19... but that's to be addressed down the road.

She ends it by calling a witness, which blew up in her face. The witness basically said that she did abuse my daughter as she tried to "not leave marks".
Couldn't ask for more from her only witness... THANKS!

Then to wrap it up... she stated that both of us were great parents, and things should continue the way they are and to put our daughter first as she is most important.
The judge didn't like that statement and told her it was in stark contrast to what she had been doing for 4 months...

Then he ruled...

2 years no contact was already established
1 month make-up time
Primary Custodian and she gets every other weekend...

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! ******* WON and The Judge saw the light and truth!!!!

-

So, I still need to figure a few things out about Parenting Rules.... because she is just trying to cause a major rift with my daughter and saying stuff to upset her still to this date. I'm waiting to speak to my attorney to clarify all the unknowns!

I wanted to give an update.. So the world is right at least of the time being! =)

Thanks @Rocket Man @PPV12HOE
Long........ Ass Journey... doubting the system, but in the end it seemed to pay off so far... just need to figure out some other things and what's to come.
She will never stop making my life a living hell.

She still has a her hearing for her arrest coming up... Due to COVID-19 they are not doing jury trials it looks like for some time, so prosecutors are more apt to work with the suspect on deals, but not let them walk free. At this point getting any type of conviction is the best I could hope for as well as probation.

@Tonyrodz Thanks man!

And I appreciate all the help and comments from members as well.

I forgot to mention, she had never submitted her financial affidavit so she couldn't get child support even if she wanted to...
She does a lot of things which make ZERO sense.

@07Burb
I wish there was such a thing as zero drama. My mom told me that any new woman must go through her. I'm not allowed to date them until she meets them. :O
