one word over and over
Document, document, document
the courts have to go by the law, and sadly not always the emotional best avenue for the child. Have doctor's documents, times and dates of everything, take photos of things.
Things may get ugly, prepare her and your family for the onslaught...
see about mediation...talk to a social worker about a court apointed special advocate (casa) for her, that can battle for her in court, gives her a voice without having to be in the midst of the ugly. There are also guardian ad litems to be assigned that really can help you for her.
Sometimes the GAL can help you see the whole picture.
I am a foster to adopt mom to 7, and the system is wacked, but YOU FIGHT for the voice of that child! hugs to you, pray if you do, because without my faith in God, there ins NO way I could do this route in life!
