Ok I need info about this, please.

Ok I have a court date for September 11 to see if the they will drop the restraining oreder and is actually in front of a different judge so Im thankful for that but also dont know what to expect. I know that if the magistrate drops the restraining order my daughters father will then take me to custody court. I was just wondering, if the magistrate and judge doesn't aknowledge my efforts for me starting counseling and attending parenting classes, also the fact that I dont have a 3rd shift job any longer, which required me to need sleep, what to do? If I dont get my daughter back by the court, if I give him custody of her so I can see her more, how hard would it be to get custody back? I miss her so much and am so tired of going back and forth through court.
