Let me correct you here
I suggest you hire a lawyer to have the judge removed from the bench, for abusing his judicial powers, if you believe that to be the case. Ummm, you were getting child support, because you were guardian of the child, not because you were a "defacto parent".
I was getting child support because I was the custodial party and yes I was legal Guardian of the child.
So apparently you believe that biology should be the controling factor here then, even though there is lacking any form of relationship between the father and child.
Even though the child had no relationship what so ever with the father by his choice, when she lived in Indiana for the first 4 years of her life?
I brought the child here to SHARE her with her paternal family, not to be blackballed from her life, alienated from her and her from me this is wrong, cruel, and very very cold hearted.
I filed a petition to establish my status as the child's de facto parent/custodian which the judge dismissed without a hearing, the judge also dismissed the fact that the childs mother clearly testified to the FACT I am the child's parent and I have been Mother to the child not the birth Mother who is my daughter, all her life.
The judge was clearly wrong and I believe that my constitutional rights may have been violated because of it.
