Get a lawyer. Although you gave them temporary guardianship, you've left your son with them for at least 6 years! It also seems that you never visited him in all those years. Is that right? Are you also a member of the military? If not, then why on earth would you leave your son with your...

I agree that it could go both ways if you've followed the daycare schedule previously and it has been different from the school district calendar. However, I think the bolded part would indicate that the school district calendar was intended to be used.

So, have grandma file for custody based on the DCFS report and mom's absence, if she's willing. Offer to pay her attorney's fees.

Where were the children before that court date? Had they been removed from your home, or did someone else have custody?

Until paternity is established, you will have sole custody. If you file for child support, then the father will have the right to request joint legal custody and visitation, and he will probably get it. Or, if you don't file for support, he can still file to establish paternity and...

Do you mean that you gave up primary custody of 2 of your children, or you gave up your parental rights? If parental rights, what were the circumstances?

I'm more than a little surprised that he's NOT paying child support! She's in Section 8 housing and receiving state aid, and he's NOT paying any child support?? How does that happen, unless you and your husband also qualify for Section 8 housing and state aid?

Surely there's more being changed. What about the Monday visitation? If you don't agree with something, don't sign it. If you do agree and sign, make sure you get a signed copy as well.

You can modify a custody agreement whenever there is a substantial change in circumstances. I really don't think you have one, other than the move, and you've waited too long to contest that. Why not get a consult with an attorney? Many offer free initial consultations, and can tell you if you...

I understand your predicament from your other thread. However, as you were advised on the other thread, since he moved a year ago, it's not likely that you'll be able to change that now. You will also lose your Monday visitation because the children can't miss school every Monday. In effect, you...

So, he has primary, and the children attend school in Macoupin now? If so, you'll have to modify the parenting plan. If they attend school in Macoupin, then your time will be cut short unless you request primary physical custody. You should also request that he provide transportation since he...

You're quite welcome, and good luck to him!
