Had my "court prep" meeting with the lawyer today. I'm really NOT comfortable about court coming up - I'd rather NOT have to testify, and I want to be there for the whole hearing but there is the possibility that I may not be allowed to stay if the bios request that I leave. But the lawyer asked me, in permanency planning, if I would be willing to have joint custody with the bios!! Currently the uncle has an order of private guardianship...one possibility that they are looking at is to award me sole physical custody, but have him retain some of his rights - like access to medical records, school records etc. Anyone ever heard of this?? I need more info if they want to go that direction- like would it mean that I have to actually have contact with the guy, or have him approve any decisions. My gut says no **** way. I'm already worried enough about the fee access they plan to continue.
