phred,
This is exactly why I didn't allow lawyers to get involved in my divorce. I didn't need them telling my ex what he was entitled to or putting stupid thoughts in his gullible empty head.
I know someone else who is having some serious problems with the ex (she keeps stalling things and stating she is entitled to things she is not - did she speak with a lawyer?)...
But before you make any decisions, you need to ask yourself if you can live with walking away knowing it means you will NEVER be a part of your daughter's life. It's a rough decision to have to make.
Have you looked into Legal Aid? There are lawyers available for free for people who qualify (so at least you might have a fighting chance).
Also, make sure you keep the transcripts of all her threats and stupidity. It may be helpful if you decide to stand up to her and fight.
I may be a woman, but I will not stand for selfish, self-centered, holier-than-thou bitches like this one who think they can hold a child over your head. It's wrong to do this to the baby. It's so incredibly wrong that it infuriates me to no end that a woman could give birth and then treat the baby like an object, like a pawn...
ARGH!!!
