A: If you have an attorney then you should be speaking with your attorney about this case. Other attorneys can't advise you when you have legal counsel.

A: In a custody battle, the primary concern is always the best interest of the child. If you believe that the actions of the other party are not in your daughter's best interest, it's important to address this through legal channels. Discuss your concerns with your attorney, emphasizing the specific behaviors and their impact on your daughter.

The issue of influencing a child's sexual identity can be complex, and courts typically consider a range of factors including the child's welfare, psychological well-being, and the intentions of the parents. If you feel your current lawyer is not addressing your concerns adequately, you have the option to seek a second opinion from another attorney who might have more experience with such sensitive matters.

CPS involvement is generally reserved for cases of abuse or neglect. If you believe your daughter's wellbeing is at risk, document your observations and present them to your lawyer. This documentation can be crucial in legal proceedings.

Remember, in custody cases, the court's aim is to ensure a healthy and stable environment for the child. It's important to approach this situation with your daughter's best interests at heart and to work within the legal framework to resolve any concerns.
