Are singlemama and rangs987 the same person?

You have to prove the move is in the child's best interest. Nobody can predict your chances of being granted the move.

Probably not. DNA testing did not even exist back then and if paternity was never established then the state never had a legal father on file. Was mom ever on public assistance? You and this woman could always arrange a DNA test between the 2 of you.

Have you called legal aid to see if you qualify for help or the state bar?

Your best bet is to try to get dad to agree and be prepared to be generous in your offer. Just because you have a better job does not mean you get to move the child. The courts are going to look at extended family in the current area as well. If Dad does not agree to the move you have to go to...

This board is for US law only.

No. However the child does not get to choose not to visit. However, I do believe GA does have a statute where at age 12 the courts may let the child decide and Child support can be reduced, but the NCP has to go to court to get it adjusted. GA is one of the few states that does this. How old is...

What kind of Social security is he on? Disability or is he retired? If it is disability you should be receiving a benefit for the child.

You really need to see an attorney or go down to the court house and see if they have a self help area or family law fascilitator to help you. You can surely file contempt and if mom is abusing the child, CPS needs to be called immed after the abuse happens. If mom is really this unstable and...

Well the babysitter was clearly in the wrong here, but we need to know what state, and if paternity was established. Did he sign the paperwork at birth? Have you called the police?

You need to tell us what is going on here. Because family law involves court orders and custodial interferance is different than kidnapping, we really need to know specifics.

Thanks, I did not notice her signature line. Is she one of those pre-paid legal spammers?

Totally wrong. Grandma has NO right to keep a child ahe has NO LEGAL right to. In most jurisdictions this is custodial interferance or kidnapping.

she is however a minor and if her parents tell you to get lost, then do it.

Mom does not terminate her rights, you just file for custody. Save everything you have as documentation but if mom is going to drop the kids off at your house, getting custody and child support stopped should be pretty easy. If she is moving from VA to Ca it is a lot more than 600 miles..more...

I have a hard time believing an attorney would tell you you'll have no problem moving. If he is so confident then hire him. Your biggest drawbacks are that Dad is involved, and you are not even married to this man. If extended family is in the area that is another problem. You have to prove the...

Depends on the state but yes, you can file an RO on this man and possibly press charges.

Who is supposed to pay for transportation? If Dad is then he needs to buy a ticket, sometimes even buy a roundtrip and discarding the return cheaper. You can also possibly bid on priceline.com. It is unclear by your post what the court order says.

Ok first of all you need to book a consultation with a family law attorney. At some point you were listed as the father and should have been properly served for paternity. The mom could have been on government assistance so the state forced her to identify the father, but you should have been...

This does not make sense. Grandma does not have legal custody here and this is some sort of custodial interference. The police should honor your court order. Where is the father here? Are these the maternal or paternal grandparents? The 13 yr old does not get to choose where he wants to live...
