**This part of letter to the judge basicly consisted of the man that is the father of my youngest daughter.  I had no grounds (according to the court) to restrict his wife from coming there.  But overall we had an order that said we were to not have any contact for 6 months and although initially she came there for the father she eventually only came with him.  And I tried to explain to them that this woman had no relevance to the case and had absolutely no reason to be there and I would like that it be asked of her to not come to the court hearings.  Of course that was NOT TAKEN into consideration and they still allowed her to not only come to the hearing but let her COME INTO THE COURT ROOM.  Now I always thought that the case with children is confidential but accordingly they let her stay while they talked about other children in question other then the one that he was father to.  But mainly I asked that she not be there because it was a court violation and to no avail did they do anything to try to correct that.**

**Also based on information I have received as well as read I see that there is a conflict between her and my daughter.  I honestly do not know the reason.  I do not know if it is because she does not like me and this is my child or if there is another reason that conflicts with her otherwise doing what is or should be best for her.  But she seems to have a problem with my daughter and I would like to point out that if there is a conflict with her and my daughter then she is not the best person nor is it the best environment for my child**

** and the point in which I was trying to make about the child support was not so that I could step out of my duties as a mother but only to question or bring to the attention of the judge what they were doing to me.  I lost lots of money because they were not taking a percentage.  They were taking the same amount out of my checks and it enabled me to get to work.  Now I know a lot of people's comments are "WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET ANOTHER JOB!!"  Well that is and was not an option.  Reason I state that is because due to the requirements of the court I had little time to myself or to do what I had to after all things were being done.  Not that it was a problem but having two jobs on top of the other things that were required of me it was NEARLY impossible for me to have two jobs.**

**In this letter it clearly states that there were some things done.  Number one I was not told that I needed a psychological...I mean I was but when the worker came to my home, in my living room and made a phone call and set up these appointments I was not aware at the time that was going to be used against me...I had no idea that is what she was setting me up for and that it was going to impact things that intensely...I know that I was set up for something and I went to it and completed it..and that is what burden was placed on me later.**

**there may be a part in this where the letter may not immediately follow but just look for the other link on the page to get the whole letter together.  And what I mean by that is that I have another page that is listed first before the conclusion of this letter.  But once again I am not a website building PRO. LOL!!!**

**This is dated January 30, 2003**

Dear Mrs. ***** *****,

My name is Jennelle ***** and I am writing this letter for the interests of my children and myself.  I am going to begin with the most recent court hearing that is coming up.  My custody battle (or hearing) with Mr. ******* on February 3, 2003 is what is to occur next.  In the last court hearing with Mr. ****** I told the court I was going to contest custody.  And as of January 30, 2003 I am still sticking to my guns.  I do not wish my daughter Lilith **** ***** to be with her father due to many reasons.

   1)  There are personal situations that enable his wife (****) and I to get along.  I just do not think it is a very good environment for my daughter.  There also happens to be an awful lot of animosity as well.

   2)  In October (October 16, 2002 to be exact) *** took me to court for phone calls she says were harassing.  Upon going to court she told the judge the calls came from my home whereas she was not able to confirm it was me on the other end of the line.  And as things stood it was a neighbor that decided that they were going to call her on my telephone and proceed to speak with her.  Therefore the judge ordered that *** and I were not to have contact with one another for 6 months.  I recently spoke with personal from the police department who then told me that **** coming to my court hearings are a violation.  And I have asked Mr. **** multiple times not to bring her.  To that initial court hearing they brought **** **** with them which I believe is very unprofessional as well as shows she has a personal relationship with my ex ***** ***** and his wife ****.  She also told him lies about my case and lies about me to have a better chance to turn him against me.  Telling him things like getting married would  better his chances and getting my daughter, and that I did not comply because I spoke or talked back to her, etc.  If this man had to be sworn under oath I do not believe he would continue to lie for this worker.

   3)  Mr. **** will only be 22 on March 6, 2003 and has never had to be responsible for anyone but himself.  But following the court hearing on Feb. 3, 2003 if to be given temporary custody of my daughter Lilith, will then have the responsibility of moral, emotional, mental, physical and financial support of four other people not including himself.  *** has a child from a prior relationship that is two.   And has recently been divorced from a man named ***** ***** that serves in the United States Army.  Mr. **** and his wife have just had a baby that was born on Jan. 1, 2003 and then my daughter at the age of 8 months old.  Maybe now someone can see why I have great concerns for my youngest daughter.

   4)  Mr. **** is currently active Navy and is scheduled to leave in Feb 2004.  Lord only knows if he will have to serve in all this devastating stuff going on with Iraq before then.   These are just a few highlighted reasons why I do not wish my daughter Lilith ***** ***** to be placed with her father ****** ****** and wife *****.

Then the next court hearing to be addressed would be my court hearing for child support that is supposed to take place on Feb. 4, 2003.  What I am not understanding is how if I took care of them from the day that they were born why am I being forced to take care of all their needs including medical costs when no one made sure to it that their fathers should before now.  I do not know what was wrong with finding the fathers when I had these children living in my home and I do not know why things tend to be so difficult.  But now the fathers that had absolutely nothing to do with their kids all of a sudden do want to be and make themselves out to be a big part.   I think it would have been nice for themt o have the father figure prior to all of this happening.  I do not think I would be going through all of this and I do not believe that my kids would be with someone else or their fathers.

Then we have the court hearing that is to take place on Feb. 11, 2003 regarding the 75 day hearing, the criminal show cause and my visitation petition that I placed.  With the 75 day hearing I have done pretty much everything requested of me and the workers have been given ample time to do things on the list of requirements.  I was told by my worker that some of the things on the list that were expected of me were supposed to be done by the workers or DSS.  I was told this by ***** ***** right before we went on the christmas holidays and vacation.  She said they would have to wait until after christmas (january) to be able to do anything.  Here we are about to go into Feb. and still none of these things have even been attempted to be started.  And as I feel it is putting me back because ample time has been given for those things to occur.  They made up a list in the beginning of November and the things I can do have been done.  The Criminal Show Cause with Ms. ***** also is supposed to be seen that day.  The Criminal Show Cause is based on the same thing the 75 day hearing is based on.  I truly and honestly believe that this woman only placed down the criminal show cause to cover her own tracks.  Things have not been justified nor confirmed.  I feel that if I was given the equal oppurtunity to present my information then things would be different.  I have plenty of information proving that I complied with the program ***.  All that was asked of me if I am not mistaken was a psychological assessment, dental exams and follow up work done with the kids, to allow DSS into my home at reasonable times and to cooperate with DSS.  I fit all the requirements that I was asked to do.  Ms. **** was the one who called the office and also the one that set up the appointments that were scheduled.  It is not my fault that the appointment she set me up with was a psychiatric and not a psychological.  The Psychiatric was also pretty  extensive.  But I do not know of any reason where I did not comply.  If I knew I would definately admit to my faults.  Then my visitation petition.  The reason this was filed was because the kids were taken on sept. 4, 2002.  The first time I saw Zachary was September 16, 2002 which was reasonable, whereas the first time I saw Keghan and Lily wasn't until September 27, 2002 (which was not reasonable).  The next time I saw Keghan after that was not until October 24, 2002.  Whereas visitation was reasonable with Zachary and Lily it began to reach an unacceptable point.  Finally I spoke to a clerk and I explained how my visitations were supposed to be going which was one visit per child every two weeks.  Then my idea came up and I went and filed a petition for visitation.  Once the petition was placed and the workers got it they began making schedules.  Now ***** ***** is telling me that there will be NO visitations until at least Feb. 11, 2003.  At that point she is going to request that the visitations be all together instead of separately and from my understanding with a therapist.  And without sounding rude I feel mighty uncomfortable with that setting.  These are my visitations as follows that are the most recent visitations with the kids:
