Yeah, the narrative is a little scattered. I take away a couple of things.
1) That DD feels it didn't go as bad as expected. Thats good.
2)The judge didn't continue the PO for a year but until the Temp hearing, hopefully by Febb 29th.
3) The judge 'orders' other guy to be no where around OP or the son at the drop off. Not sure what that means. Not much of anything unless DD actually has a signed order in hand placing restrictions on BF in some way. Whatever happens, I suggest recording all exchanges and if the BF is there to absolutely, positively do nothing to engage in any way shape manner or form.
4) DD has approx 30 days to prepare for a temp hearing.
Seems to me that the entire OP's situation was tailor made for those video glasses posted about earlier. They put the viewer in exactly the position the recorder was in and their POV of what they saw and heard. I would seriously consider a pair. I actually took this pic last night at Target and sent it to my buddy that has the pair.

A kids toy for 30 bucks, used at a critical time, could change the entire course of a custody battle or criminal case.
