Going to court with BM tomorrow - wish me luck (please!)
I'm nervous. I talked to my lawyer tonight. He left a message with BF for me to call him. When I did, the first words out of his mouth were "How are you?" And he asked it sincerely. That really made me feel better.
He is so geared up and ready to do whatever it takes to get BM to make a fool of herself. He invited BF to come with us. He's going to call her to the stand first. He's going to bring up old things that she's still pissed about. He's hoping to piss her off so much that she just goes off.
I'm nervous. I don't want to talk in court. I asked him if he could talk for me, but he said I would have to at least say who I am, why I'm there, and possibly testify for myself. I don't want to. I'm afraid. I just don't want to make an ass of myself.
But hopefully I'll go in there and keep my cool. Hopefully I'll be able to be the epitome of calm and cooperation. My attorney said that there's a possibility that the judge may rule a mutual restraining order to make BM happy. I said I don't care as long as she is restrained. He said that BM may try to file for a continuance. I said, I don't care...if she files a continuance, the restraining order will still be ex-parte which covers me until she decides she's ready to go to court. If she's stupid enough to voluntarily keep a restraining order over her head without even trying to get it dropped, I'm fine with that.
I've decided I should be a lawyer. Everything my lawyer said, I kept right there with him. It was so cool. I'll add that to the list of a dozen things I need to do be "when I grow up"! 
Anyways, wish me luck gals. I'll have every one of you with me tomorrow in that courtroom!
