Prayers still coming your way from Nebraska........................
Deb
Just talked to Alex (it is a tad after 9 there) he seems in good spirits and Gramma let him Order in and get room service so he really feels like a big shot. Gary called around 7 our time in Il and has held off serving her with the evidence package (on the grounds that she will not verify address to his office , yes even though it is plastered all over the net I guess she has to state it.) which will work in our favor as she has no Idea what is being used against her till tomorrow in the courtroom when he gives it to her in person. There are 2 recorded calls from his secretary in which she states that he is impersonating a lawyer! along with her emails guaranteeing me jail time for being abusive by making Alex go to bed at 8:30 pm. (I suck asa mom rofl ) Jasper is holding up Ok he says but he is still worried sick(as we all are) the good news is it is down to only about 18 hours. Thank you all again so much!
Sounds good - ooooh, room service, boy! :)
Tell them to bring crayons and paper to court tomorrow - the worst part is waiting around for something to happen. And people of all ages can be occupied with crayons and paper!
Yep I am easily amused by crayons! The red ones taste so yummy! Oh you meant for Alex! (sorry need to laugh or I will cry ) lame jokes tonight all.
Been telling my husband about your situation, we prayed together for Alex this morning. many, many people are also praying for Alex. Hang in there! This will probably be one of the "most closely watched" threads today!
I've been praying extra hard since getting up this morning. I remember that you told us that you will learn more from your Lawyer at 4:00 (Az time)
I live in Michigan, EDT, it is now 11:16. Az is 2 hours ahead of us. That would put the ultimate reply from Dr. Goodnow at 6:00 pm edt. or, there abouts.
I bought some ice cream and some cones, (forfeiting booze!!!!! :D )
Prayers and postive vibrations from Michigan for Dr. Goodnows' and Alexander!!!!
Prayers have been flying from me today too!
I just can't believe any sane judge would give him to that whack doodle!!!
Well said,Quote:

Heavy prayers from Dorothy39!!! (hanging onto this thread)
I am at work and shouldn't be on here - but HEAVY PRAYERS here too!
Praying that common sense and justice are one and the same.
It helps that the 'mom' dug her own hole and shot herself in the foot!
You really got a hold on me, Dr.Goodnow.
Prayers upon prayers, upon prayers..........................................

She climbed a mountain that was way too high, and when she found out that she couldn"t climb, it was too late!!!!!!( recall that song?)
Thank-You for responding when you did!!!
For some reason, I keep picturing "mom" standing up, yelling at the judge and accusing him of being an imposter and not a real judge!!! Wouldn't that frost the cake? ;)Quote:

She is very ill!!!! I pray that true justice serves in favor of the Goodnows!!!
Thank you all! I haven't posted or answered the phone except from the lawyer today. Please understand that I will call all of you back that left messages as SOON as I know something concrete. I did speak with Gary this am and he is in a meeting with Jasper right now. to quote some of her allegations/testimony she "believes that William Goodnow should be charged with child abuse and assault for the invasive procedures of blood drawing and vaccinations" that since he has a lawyer in both states she wants the Judge to require "the Goodnows to deposit 10k into a legal fund so she can hire a lawyer to fight us singly and together" "that all voice mails be destroyed as I never consented to being taped" (hello it's VOICEMAIL) and several other but all saying the same thing she requests that all parental rights be removed from the father etc etc. and finally that it be dismissed as she has no legal counsel.
It is 2 pm here in Ill I will not know anything more until about 4 or so my time so please don't be angry about the phone not being answered, I am truly to stressed to talk. and I have nothing to say except to whine about how sick I am in my stomach. So until I have news (praying both my men will be in my arms tonight) I will remain silent. Thank you all for the prayers and we will soon know what and how this Judge decides.Blessed Be.
Oh my gosh. I am so sorry this is tough on you :( Soon it will be over and they will both be home with you.
Praying as hard as I can for you and yours

Prayers again!!!
Court is in Session. It is unfolding as we read this. I think I am numb. Not to sound dramatic but the only I feel is terror. I have been in some really physically frightening positions but I have never felt this frozen, I cannot think, I cannot imagine what Jasper is feeling while he is standing there.
SUPER SIZE PRAYERS FLYING!!!
Bless your heart - prayers are being offered for your family right now.
Take some deep breaths, dear, and visualize Alex surrounded by the arms of loving angels. What happens is pretty much out of your hands at this point. Lots of prayers are being said. Alex has a Higher Power watching out for him, too. Once you know the court decision, you can make more decisions about what to do. I have to leave for work now, but you will be on my mind all evening. Will check in later. ;) I'll be prayin'Quote:

REMEMBER EVERYONE WHO IS WITH YOU - talk to the "air", we are there!
HUGS HUGS HUGS
I am thinking of all of you trust me! Mother in law called, Alex is just now being brought into the Judges chambers, still no news and no verdict.
Catty is right we are with you. (((Hugs)))
I have been following this, and, like others, have not posted. But I have ben keeping you in my prayers.
What a terrible situation for all of you to be going through. I can only hope and pray that the judge will see the "nutcase" for what she is and that your family will be whole again in Illinois.
I usually only watch this forum during the day, but will check in toinght for an update.
Until then, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers... from Indiana to Illinois to Arizona!
The Judge has Ordered he is to stay with his mother until October, under medical care that our lawyer is in charge of. Judge Hinson wants Alex in the state of Az so that he doesn't lose jurisdiction over the case. Our lawyer is to be present at every Dr. visit etc. this order is valis until October at which time the Judge wants to review the case. I cannot type amymore as I am going to throw up I will post asap.
Lord, I just can't believe this!!! Just because a judge doesn't want to lose jurisdiction? :(
I can't help believe this is just a temporary set back. At least with the court appointed doctor visits she will have to take better care of him, or else!!!
Prayers will continue until he is back with you where he belongs!!!
I am so sorry, just remember that is 2 short months and he will be monitored. Please keep yourself healthy that boy needs you.
Surely Gary MUST be able to appeal this????
O-M-G!!!!!!
Don't they care how ALEX feels about this?????
Please God - more prayers....a miracle is needed here!
i just can't believe this....what MORE assessment do they need?
I am not as sick as you hon....but I am just sick sick sick for you.
HUGS (for all the good they'll do)
OH NO! :mad: :mad:
I cannot believe this! I agree with Catty1... can your lawyer appeal this? I get so angry with the justice system, especially when it comes to the welfare of children! When will judges realize that it is not always the best thing for a child to be with the mother? :rolleyes:
I am so sorry that you are having to endure this for another 2 months. I hope and pray that there will be some way for your attorney to appeal and the judeg will "see the light".... I can only imagine what you must be going through right now.
(((Hugs))) and prayers coming from Indiana.
If spinning words can help - maybe you lost - but the other woman DID NOT WIN!
I just CAN'T BELIEVE this...oh hon...
If the media would not do Alex more harm than good, it would be tempting...
I am sitting here reading your posts and getting updates from my Mother in law and daughter as to what transpired in the courtroom. As the whole story comes clear and I talk with Gary who is a car meeting with Jasper on the way to the Phoenix airport, I will relate it here. From what my daughter said Sharon was not only reprimanded but the Judge several times but fined for an outburst, the way Jesse is explaining it, the thought process is that our lawyer is standing is as parent in absentia meaning he will be at all Dr. visits and she is required to procure him counseling. If she misses or reschedules an appt. Alex will be immediatley surrendered to Ill. If what Jesse is saying is accurate then I have no doubt Sharon will screw up quicker rather than later. I will repost as soon as I have verification of this and any other details from Gary.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH I don't think any of you know how important you are all to us and our family or how indebted we are to you kindess and good grace and prayers for my boy and our family.
I have not told Adrian yet as he went to a friends house and I refuse to ruin his evening, plenty of time to tell him after his shower etc.
Looks like you may have lost this battle but have for sure not lost the war!
I wounldn't be at all surprised if the "mom" doesn't somehow expect you all to pay for her fine!!!
Hang in there!!! We are with you and praying for all of you!!!
OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK just got off phone with Gary, yes Alex will be in AZ until October 11th at which time the Judge is going to enter final rulings on all aspects of the case including but not limited to custody. Sharon will have Alex with supervision an officer of the court juvenile division will be dropping in unannounced a few times a week the Drs must submit to court not Sharon their findings. A social service person is being assigned to him at school, he is to stay in daycare (court approved) during the day and she has to file her itinerary EACH DAY for what and where he is while in her care. The only reason that Judge is allowing and requiring this is because he has ordered a psych eval to be done by 2 independent offices of SHARON. Because we had requested several things besides custody (the psych eval, parenting classes, a complete check of her clientele and also a financial affidavit from her and the bookstore accepting credit cards ) Alex needs to be in Yavapai county to retain custodial jurisdiction on our part. Gary has stated that after her behaviour in court today he has no worries that we will not recieve full sole custody on the 11th of October. So we lost but I think (dare I say it?) we won? Gary has made it part of the order that my grown kids are to be allowed to see him and take him for reasonable visits as they are family etc, and we can keep closer tabs on him that way and that Alex is to call us each day with Gary on phone so that she cannot withold him via phone. I am still sick and upset that he will be near and with her but I have hope that this is the end. Sharon is so determined to NOT adhere to anything the court says that I am sure she will violate at which time Alex will be transported to us immediatley.
Looks like this cloud may have a silver lining after all, eh?
You may well get him before October 11 and his mom may get the help she so desperatley needs.
If Sharon has her evaluation SOON and "flunks", would that send Alex back sooner?
How is ALEX in all this????
At least when your kids visit, they can take him for ice cream!
:(
I hate to hate ANYONE, but I hope Sharon screws up SOON - without hurting Alex!
This may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
When she loses him (and I'm confidant she will) she won't be able to say she wasn't given every opportunity to keep him. It will be all on her own head.
MOFF I tend to agree I have yet see Sharon keep an appointment except for court as she would always end up trying to get more money at those appts. which btw I forgot to mention, based on the evidence that was allowed her Child supoort was cut in half! Can we say one PISSY woman! I am told she was livid and that was the trigger for her to begin her outbursts to the Judge.
just got home from work, i'[m glad I kept reading here because I was sooooooooo :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: when I read that the judge is ruling that Alex should live with that lunatic again! But it sounds like there will be plenty of eyes & ears keeping tabs, and, as everyone is pointing out, it's just a matter of time till she screws up. Especially with her child support cut in half (heehee) she'll probably be ready to hand him back in no time.
At least you know where you stand now and the most important thing is that Alex is going to be in counseling and a supervised enviornment, and you will get regular phone contact and reports from "normal" people on how he's doing. (((hugs))) ;) It's not over yet.
Cyber everyone has prayed so hard, and I must admit I think Star pulled this one outta doggie heaven!(with help from my own Rusty) Our dogs knew that a quick win would leave open that dread appeal word! Her path is so full of pit falls and leg traps (worst thing a dog can think of on short notice) that I am beginning to plan and hope for our annual halloween party of course my little Alex will be dressed as KING. All of us Pink ppl wanted what was best for Alex (of course simple answer stay here) none of us not even me thought about her being able to appeal. Understand everyone the coup de grace in all this is our full custody includes my adopting him which severs her parental rights, the Judge knows this. Sharon doesn't get it but then again she is an Idiot as her email of 10 minutes go says " I won I have him and you will pay for being his wife, he will never get an out of state visit again" hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm very true but not in the way she is envisioning...............kiss Star as she is one of Alexs Fave siggy dogs along with Bailey the Great Dane.
