Custody cases are highly fact specific, meaning that they are all very different from each other. For example, it is hard to say if there is a reason your history with past boyfriends is viewed as particularly threatening to your children. Right or wrong, those involved with the reintegration process have made decisions based on what they perceive about your personal history and likely future.

Of course I am not aware of your past beyond what you have discussed in the above paragraph. For this reason, without more information, I feel it is difficult to give you very much sound advice. As far as your question about your current lawyer, a court appointed attorney has all the same legal authority through his or her license as a privately hired attorney, but whether there could be more done than what has already been done can not be fully evaluated without knowing what your attorney has already tried.
