Court Tomorrow - but not for me

My lawyer goes to court without me tomorrow. We were supposed to go for a Pre-Trial hearing but since he is in jail and doesnt appear to have a lawyer at this point in time it wouldnt make any sense for me to show up.

I also have to be represented because his lawyer is withdrawing and my lawyer is starting up the process of permanently separating him from the kids. That means she is filing a paper tomorrow requesting a court-ordered psychiatric exam. She has requested a specific doctor but says it doesnt matter. The doctor will have legal access to all of FSO's medical records. I'd love to be a fly on that desk!

I gave her a list of the car-related expenses that he needs to reimburse me for. It totals to almost $7000. She cant file it, tho, until 21 days have passed and he has a chance to get another lawyer. I am hoping that if he doesnt have a lawyer on Day 21 that on Day 22 she will be in court finding him in default. We'll see. He has a court hearing on 9/27 which is 20 days after this hearing.
