As another person who has battled legal trouble (mine deals with a neighbor building damns and trying to sabotage my project), I feel for you and your family. Be diligent and record everything. Take notes on conversations that you have, and try to get people to sign things. I have had several conversations with people from my county who supported what we were trying to do, who completely denied what they said when it got legal. Hang in there, and keep pursuing your dream.
