Re: nothing can be done?

Trust me, I'm not saying you don't have legitimate concerns. Been there, done that and the attorney you spoke to is correct. In my state the other parent basically has to kill someone and it pretty much has to be their own child before the courts feel there is a danger. And I don't care what anyone says It's not a "Mom is better than Dad" thing. The courts can treat either parent like crap.
Again, it's all about proof. You say she manipulated her work schedule. Is that what she's going to say? More than likely she will say she had to work the schedule she was given. Who do you think her employer is going to side with if required to testify? He/She is going to say that she has no say over the schedule. (No boss is going to admit they let someone else dictate the schedule).
I'm just trying to be realistic based on what you've written. I know no one ever knows the whole story and it probably is more complicated. I also have a 3 yo and my heart would break to have her juggled around like your daughter is. I just want you to prepare yourself for her retailiation when you file for more custody. Chances are she will no longer ask to leave the child with you while she is working. That would be scary to me.
