Yes, this was done through the courts. The great-grandson and his mom are now living part time with the boy's grandparents and his mom's ex-inlaws and part time with mom's boyfriend. Saying that to my grandson is very tempting (calling him a schmuck) but we are trying to keep the door open if...

I am involved because I love my grandson and great-grandson. If there was anything I personally could do to mediate this I would. The whole family is broken hearted. We pray a lot but sometimes we feel we just have to do something. This little boy is in pain and "it's easier to grow strong...

The dad did have custody. He fought twice to keep custody and loved his son more then anything. The mother was paying support when able then he let her drop the support so she didn't require him to pay support when she got custody handed to her. We believe he gave up custody because of his...

What is the name of your state?Tennessee My grandson hasn't seen his only child in over a year. He provides no support but used to be his only support and had sole custody. After re-marriage he gave the boy to his mom. He is a precious child and misses his dad. Is there nothing we can do...

I can tell you from experience that some ex's are so vindictive they don't care if a child is hurt as long as they can keep the child from an ex-parent or grandparent. We were jerked around a lot until we were needed by the ex. Try to be kind (sometimes between clenched teeth) to the one who...

Rudeness is not acceptable You can give good legal advice without being so rude. People who post here are generally in pain. They need to know their options. They do not need to hear they are stupid. If you get the right lawyer you will be told what you can do legally. Where I live in...

Grandparent's rights I also visited this site searching for grandparent's (in my case, great-grandparent's) rights. We have a grandson who is a parent but gave up custody to his ex-wife because he now has a controlling wife who wanted our great-grandson out of her husband's life. My daughter...

What is the name of your state? Tennessee We are now being allowed to see out great-grandchild and his grandparents are also seeing him. We have tried to be nice but firm in seeking rights and it has worked. We feel so blessed but will insist on getting it all in writing upon advice from our...

We understand! Our great-grandson's mother got mad everytime we tried to speak up about one of the boy's complaints. After seeing her shaking her finger in his face while walking him to the car we told him we would not reveal things he told us. It's a real dilemma. Good luck! Have you...

Sorry about your pain It looks to me like your lawyer should be more assertive and firm in finding out exactly what happened, etc. If she is as confused as you maybe you need to change lawyers. We did. Good luck in your battle. I know you miss your daughter.

What is the name of your state? Virginia My son has been divorced over a year and was separated a year or more before that. His wife left on her own. She decided she didn't want to be married. She agreed to pay for the divorce and when the papers arrived he had a lawyer look them over. The...

Dads often do get custody I know of dads who have gotten custody. Judges look at it differently then they used to and laws have been updated. The adultery part can be a major deciding factor. She may not be interested in keeping either of them when she learns how much they cramp her style...

What a great idea! I hope scooters are allowed so these two can keep up. I think medicare may pay if they really need them. They could even go see the Grand Canyon! :)

I vote for getting rid of the president. Any way you look at this the treatment of this elderly couple is unethical and unkind. They are being subjected to emotional AND physical suffering. I am 68 and suffer from foot problems and arthritis while my husband has emphysemia and asthma. As...

This is true. We were told if our grandson stays out of his son's life, including paying no support for a period of time he can be adopted if his mom remarries.
