Eric has complied with all the conditions surrounding the temporary supervised visitation orders, filled out various forms required by the guardian ad litem and had an extensive interview with him, and he reminds his children every time he sees them that this situation is not their fault and that he is fighting for them.
A bit of information has come out of these visits with the children. They are living in some sort of group home, Angela is not working and does not have any money (even though all but $25.00 of Eric's paycheck goes to her weekly), and that Angela has violated the restrictions imposed by the judge several times by taking the children across state lines.
Angela has filled out the forms requested by the guardian ad litem, but refuses to meet with him. She has also not allowed Eric to see the children several times, nor does she allow the children to speak with him on the telephone for the 30 minutes Eric is entitled to once per week. Additionally, the children are all showing varying degrees of emotional distress, with Aaron (the youngest) being affected most severely, and Korin feeling completely depressed and hopeless.
We are concerned that this group setting has permitted the children to be abused in various ways.
Angela's lawyer has not responded to any communication from Eric's lawyer or the guardian ad litem.
I do not know all the issues that will be addressed at tomorrow's hearing, but I do know that Eric's lawyer will request that Angela be required to undergo psychological testing along with the children, and to cancel the supervised visitation order. The guardian ad litem will also be presenting his findings tomorrow.
Please remember Korin, Daimon and Aaron in your prayers. We are concerned that Angela will run away with the children again once she hears that she must undergo psychological testing. Thank you all so very much for supporting my niece and nephews with your prayers!
God bless your family and guard the young ones.
Asking God's help in this distressing situation.
Continuing to pray for your brother, his children, and you.
God be with you all!
Strength unbounded.
Praying for God's attention and providence in resolving the problems in your brother's family. God bless.
I continue in prayer for your brother, the children and all who are suffering in this!
Dear God, keep Korin, Daimon and Aaron safe. Return them to their father who will love,provide and protect them.
Thank you, Father! In Jesus' name, Amen
Prayers for the children and your brother. I wish the judge would grant immediate custody to Eric and remand (right word?) the mom to the mental health institution. I don't know if that can actually happen, but I will pray for it to be. I also pray that the guardian ad litem's findings indicate the neccessity for removal of the children from their mom and go to the dad. Immediate meaning the children leaving the courthouse with their daddy.

Prayers for your Grandchildren's peace and safety. I pray the court will give custody to your son so their mother might get some help with her problems. Sounds like a lot of hurting is going on with you all. Prayers for you also Aracelis.
Our prayers continue for Eric and the children. Please let us know how the hearings go! Our love, prayers and good thoughts will be with Eric, the children and you tomorrow.

Is it possible that the woman is manic/depressive? I have seen this first hand and some of the behavior is similar.
Prayers for these poor children. I pray for God to touch the heart of the judge and he will make the right decision.
Just keep letting her hang herself (she will), be patient, polite, follow the rules and be concerned for "the best interest of the children."
Prayer bump.
