What is the name of your state?FL
We have 14 year old daughter (my SD) my husband's daughter - agreement is shared parental responsibility (mother - primary residential father - secondary residential parent).
SD wants to live with us for various reasons such as mother and new step father having new family additions (no room in their existing house without relocating her to a pseudo garage addition)
SD has talent in the acting/performance area - we involved her in extra ciricular actiivies that allowed her to become a very good actress on stage. She auditioned for a magnet school this fall and made it - Gibbs Performance theatre which is now closer to US than Mom's house as elementary and middle school were?
SD is worried Mom can't handle the distance to school and also knows living here will allow her to have 30 minute less of bus ride and some days less since I can drive her most days.
Step Mom only works part time and can handle all the volunteer involvement involved for students to participate in this school. Mom works in Tampa one hour from home and doesn't allow child to have any outside activiites.
SD has discussed this living arrangement with Mom and Mom doesn't agree or believe SD truely wants to do this. She also didn't believe child would make it into Performance High school and she did! She said we needed to come up with agreement to change the current order.
Do we have enough to go through mediation and get agreement altered to allow us to take the responsibility of school for the gal so she will have a successful 4 years in High school. We have alot of other non-circumstancial stuff such as child's bad judgment while under mom's care and the child was involved in molestation case in which the guy was convicted and sentenced doing time while in Mom's care. She acted like she knew nothing..and DCF never pulled child.
We just want to give her a fair shake at succeed in a very academic and demanding magnet school.
Thanks so much.
