Yep. Remember, the court doesn't know about Paul, Grace and anything else about the case that we do. All the court knows is: - One child - Two parents - Each parent wants custody It sucks, but at least paul seems to have found a lawyer who's cutting him a break: My friend with the similar case is spending *way* more than six thousand dollars, and his case doesn't cross international borders. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
