How old were you when your father took off with you?

There are no such thing as Grandparents Rights. Grandparents have no inherent rights to their grandchildren. Grandparents only rights are to POTENTIALLY sue for visitation. There are a lot of factors involved in order to sue for grandparent visitation. Check out the state statutes where the...

It depends on the gp. I can tell you that the gps in my case made the colossal mistake of searching out other family members to attempt to corroborate a fabricated story that my husband was abusing my children. They mistake was that they approached my children's stepmother who happens to be my...

I'm thinking that OP has some splaining to do.

The answer to your first question is yes. The answer to your second question really cannot be answered as she only implied that it happened without details.

The problem with that is that (and I truly understand the gps grief over losing their child) MOST of those grandparents are attempting to mold the child into THEIR own child. If it is truly that the surviving parent is attempting to "erase" the old family, then a suit may be warranted. The...

No. I did not give up on my children. I only told you what happened to me during my case so that you could be prepared if you followed the advice of not following the order in the interim of finishing the case. My case is over for the MOMENT. The court did award visitation to the grandfather...

I am in NY and had a temp order against me. I refused to follow the order and was sentenced to 10 days in jail and 3500.00. I too had proof of their toxicity and still this happened. It will continue to affect your family no matter what in the end.

The only thing I could add: Shouldn't OP file a motion to Reconsider? With her reasonings listed. I realize the judge probably would rule the same way BUT it would strengthen her appeal.

Should worded that better, I meant the courts will determine the best interests of the child. Saying it the way I did implies that the child will have a say and the court would rule on the wishes of the child. Thank you for correcting me. OP is not married and NY likes to see a year of...

As the child's father he can file for visitation. Now that he has filed (if indeed he has) you probably won't get him for abandonment. The courts probably would not allow your BF to adopt anyway as many judges prefer that a long term MARRIAGE is in place before hand. Judges like to see...

I apologize if I seemed to personally attacking anyone. I simply wanted the OP to know that things should be done legally so that things would not be overturned later. I honestly have no idea where the rest of that other stuff came from though.

Just to add onto this: 21 years ago it was easier to pull this kind of stunt. Too many people now have children outside of wedlock and too many Dad's actually want to be there and it's harder for women to deny them that right. If this OP actually were to listen to the advice given by you and...

Are you are saying that the husband (not the biofather) went in and stated that he was the father? You realize that is fraud? Technically illegal? Those are called back door adoptions. Op, your wife needs to consult a lawyer as the father of the child lives out of the US. He would have to...

As you've not provided a state (that I noticed), you cannot be provided with the statutes. In general though, with the information that you have provided, it falls under the category of: I don't like my parents. That isn't what emancipation is for. Emancipation is for children who through no...

According to OP's other post, she is in Texas.

I know that Bay referred you to another site. I hope that I might be one of the experts that she was referring to. I'll have to look up some more info on your state, BUT I can tell you that at no time can the court order you to remain in the state for a grandparent. I'll look up some more...
