A: Your question doesn’t indicate if you have an attorney? If you can’t afford one, ask the court to appoint one. You need to speak with an attorney who knows all the facts of your case.
A:
more info needed.
you probably should not be talking about this on an open forum.
hire a lawyer or request a court-appointed lawyer and follow his/her advice.
they will have all the evidence to evaluate.
