A New Court Order Has FINALLY Come In

It's a little complicated, but it short order here is what it said. We didn't get any custody, legal or physical. We have an increased child support obligation, but we knew that was coming. Bella's mom now has to pay all of the transportation costs for her to fly here at least three times a year (Spring Break, Summer, Christmas). We are sad that the judge has eliminated our Thanksgiving, Easter, Father's Day and birthday visitation, but we may motion for more visitation next year.

There's more to it than that, but those are the main thing. Basically it just puts more burden on Bella's mom to move closer and her costs are lower. It is nice to know when the next time we will see Bella again (December 26th-January 1st) as that is always the most stressful.

When I have time, I will try to explain more but as for now Claire is waking up. Please pray for peace with this decision and for grace and wisdom as we navigate this new order.
