    Custodial Battle: Chronicles of an Immigrant Mother

    Your eyes seek me.My tears seek you.Your hands reach out to me. My hands fold in prayers.Your smile never leaves my sight and I seem to become a distant memory for you.All around me is YOU, and suddenly, you find yourself amongst strangers.I wake up and have your name on my lips, and somewhere in my mind, I hear you say, “MAMA.”By Sheetal OhriThis is written by the author Sheetal Ohri - a poem that tells how a mother was kept away from her child and her pain from that separation. The author had to deal with family law judicial system legalities, custody hearings, mediation, custody evaluations, and reunification therapies to be with her child. She wrote this book as she has been a victim of family law system flaws and had to struggle through many processes before she was granted custodial time of her child. Her situation was that, being an immigrant, she was not aware of the legalities of the family law system. She just believed in truth and honesty and stood her ground fighting a court battle for almost Eight years for her son.
