Hi, Ladies: I have a very serious prayer request. The souls of my niece & nephew are at stake.
I can't remember if I posted about my brother & his ex-wife. My brother found out in January that his now ex had been having an affair (the second - that he knows of- since they have been married.) They divorced. His ex began living w/ the guy until the divorce was final.
My brother is a Christian & was/is trying to bring the kids up in the way of the Lord. The ex went to church & all before. Now she isn't. She says horribly filthy curse words, yells at the kids, etc. Since the divorce, she has stolen furniture etc from my brother & tried to burn down the mobile home that was awarded to my brother in the divorce. She & her wonderful parents (sarcasm there) came up to brother's church & tried to physically take the kids, provoke my brother to anger, & then press assault charges against him. (I have referred to the ex for years as the Oximoron for her name is Angel.)
Anyway, now for the prayer request: The Oximoron has filed for sole custody of the kids, child support, & the mobile home. (My parents co-signed for the mobile home & their financial situation/security is in jeapordy.) My brother does not have the $800 to retain a lawyer. Court could be next week. Please pray for the children. I am so concerned about what will happen to the kids if the ex gets sole custody. (Right now she has primary custody of the 4 year old son & my brother has primary custody of the 10 year old daughter.) Please pray that the judge will show wisdom & favor for my brother. Please pray for a financial miracle so that my brother can retain a lawyer. Please pray that she is not awarded the mobile home, for my parents sake. (Of course, my brother would be stuck paying the mortgage.)
Thank you all in advance to taking this need to heart & prayer.
