Oi, it's gonna be tricky for me to find that happy-middle, since I don't really have any personal experiences to draw upon. Ah well, another rewrite then.
Oh, so that's what you mean by 'better show than tell.' Okay then...
Yeah, I'm terrible with spelling. As for editorial sweeps, I have no prereaders at this time and it's hard for a person to catch errors on a quick once-over on their own work. This became a bit of a rush job towards the end because I looked at the time and went "OMG..."
As for needing a JAG... That would be the Captain hedging their bets, so to speak. A bid for custody can go wrong in so many ways, even if there are no relatives to dispute the custody. Sometimes some do-gooder beauracrat intervenes - they only want the best for the child, and as the Captain pointed out, there is the question of whether or not he would make a good parent. Granted, this might be taken care of quickly and quietly before anyone who would interefer know about it, but one never knows when something might get leaked. For this reason, it may be useful to have a JAG on hand.
At this point, I don't know whether I should go ahead and have that happen or not. It might make for some good dramatic tension, but I don't want this to turn into one of those movies on the Lifetime channel. *Shudders*
