I have to go to court on Tues. for the 6 mos. evalualtion & I was
told by a para legal of an attorney I spoke to over the phone that I
should ask for a postponement saying that I need more time to hire
counsel. She also advised me NOT to go into court after that without
an attorney on my behalf. My question is how do I make a request for
postponement when the judge doesn't really give me a chance to speak
for myself? Do I tell the court-appointed attorney that before we go
into the courtroom or do I say it in the courtroom or should I even
attempt this?

My next question is, I'm not married and my bf is the only one
employed at this time. He has insurance & control over the finances
which makes it much easier for him to fulfill his obligations to the
court. Since he has completed more of the classes than I have can
the court force me to move out of our home because they believe I'm
not making enough effort to complete my part. See, his mom has
temporary custody of my kids & they (him & his mom) would love
nothing more than for me to be out of the picture & just give up
trying to get them back. I'm scared to death of what is going to
happen on Tues. and if this is the case I have no idea where I'm
going to go. And, won't it make it more difficult for me to get them
back if I'm forced to rent a room from someone & can't provide them
their own b-rooms & such? HELP me please!!!???
