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...

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.

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.

You are so right. We don't say negative things about the women our little
boy lives with but he says "they lie". Children are smart. When they get
old enough then they can choose who they prefer to be with. His grandmother replied to a question about whether she said something...
I'm waiting for your advice.......
I am the great-grandmother and my daughter is the grandmother and our
little boy is in a similar situation. CPS doesn't think much of emotional abuse
but I think it is terrible. Our little boy must deal with his mother's girlfriend in
a similar fashion. We...
You are wise to get legal advice but you certainly don't have to have it. Our
great-grandson's mom has obtained two orders of protection against family
members with lies to back her up....and then more lies to the judge. We now
have legal representation but she never did to bring her charges...
You sound like a sensible person-not vindictive
Good luck in your pursuit. Its nice when two people agree to continue to
love the children and share in their care even though the matital relationship
is fractured. I hope everything works out well for all concerned.
