child custody | Forum profile

Information on establishing paternity is available here . Grandparental access normally comes through your own child, so assuming your son obtains parenting time and wants you to see them he can allow access as he sees fit. New York has a statute that allows a formal grandparenting time order under narrow circumstances: Quoting New York Code, Domestic Relations, Art. 5, Sec. 72 - Special proceeding or habeas corpus to obtain visitation rights...

The last comment was very encouraging..in the right way....i am in the same situation... You see exactly what i have been trying to tell people on here about even though they are not your blood children you are still emotionally invested and just want to help.... One good thing that i have to say about all the negative that i have gotten is it has helped me see where my boundries are and i need to stay behind them!!

Im not going to give up. I just know i tried to see my daughter yesterday and her mother was coaching her on the phone because when she thought i hung up I heard her say, " did i say that right mommy? Did i say everything you wanted?" thank you all for your advice and hopefully this will all work out

Just because your daughter may go overseas for a few years does not necessarily mean that all contact with her will be severed. There are ways to attempt to maintain a relationship with your child, even if its on a limited basis (i.e video calls, mail, recordings, etc.). There are many resources that are full of ideas on how to bridge the distance between parents and children. And if your ex prevents these attempts, as you indicate that she...

Quoting BamaBrownEyes1985 i don't have any legal advice but just wanted to tell you to keep your head up.....i am also a girlfriend/common law wife (we are getting married) but been together for 5 years...anywho....but i have posted things similar to what you did and i always got ALOT of negative feedback... i know that if you are not a biological parent you are a "legal stranger"...but when you love children even if...

Quoting BamaBrownEyes1985 true....i don't have ANY input in the legal arena...but i can help him keep up with these things....and i was mad when i typed that because it had just happened..i meant to type HE because i have run into that wall before.. but i don't feel too bad because i have seen other threads on here where it was other people (girlfriends/boyfriends) in the same situation and people also told them the same thing......

Quoting Broken Mom My question involves a child custody case from the State of: TN My question today is how can I get my child back. My husband walked out on me and my 2 year old child almost two months ago. He asked me to see her for christmas and I agreed. He said he would have her home by 8pm. I have not seen her yet. He is stating he will not let me see her until there is a court order. He left and never called to check on her, ask how...

Consider her and her husbands actions as a heads up she may soon petition the court to allow the relocation. Once her husband is assured sponsorship, the next step would be for her to go back to court. It is far from a given the court will deny her request. The court will consider a lot of factors, and there is no way to guess from what you have stated whether or not her request will be granted. If she does go back to court for relocation and...

Thanks, thats all we want. One of the girls is two, one of the girls is nine months. We know the father is taking Opiates, benzodiazepines and is drinking regularly and the grandmother is on a lot of psychotropic medication that makes her totally "zonked" when she takes it at night. So the mother and I worry that if one of the children get hurt in the middle of the night and the father is passed out drunk and the grandmother...

I just don't see the point of snarky ad hominem attacks. People who come here are stressed enough. So what if she mentioned on another site that he didn't want her asking what he deems as unqualified strangers for advice. Sometimes people need a place to ask questions when they're stressed out and looking for some quick advice. She's with him and most people can't conveniently partition their lives so neatly as to not...
