ex parte guardianship hearing - my rights as noncustodial parent?

[Rushia]

But your opinion is NOT based on law. The law does not require that the guardians have to transitition the child to their son. The law does not require that guardianship be ended just because daddy grew up and decided he was ready to parent. So the grandparents are meanies but quite frankly, legally, OP's ignorance is what caused this. He was more than willing to do whatever it took to have his freedom while he went to school and he declared himself unsuitable to parent. Now where in the law does it state that because HE changed his mind, he should get custody returned? I'll wait.

Not to step in for L, BUT I read what she said as the same thing you are saying here.

as has been explained to me by two different lawyers, even a permanent guardianship can be terminated if the parent becomes suitable. The state law always favors the natural parent over the grandparent. Grandparents have few rights in my state in that regard. All a parent has to do is show that they can provide for the child and are fit and stable. I even heard the judge say this in another case. What complicates this case is the mother getting involved again and the fact that I have no legal claim to custody unless I challenge her for it. The lawyer who I hired should have known this and after consulting recently with another attorney, whom I can't afford to pay 6K, said he did not know what the attorney was thinking when he only filed for termination of the guardianship.

Had the exparte hearing. They are now giving both me and mother supervised visitation until a hearing in 90 days. This blows.

Alrighty then.
