Ex-Husband Trying to Steal Parental Rights

[mandelholland]

My Ex-Husband is in the Air Force living in Dover, DE. We have Joint Legal Custody of our 2 children who live with him and come to me for the summer and every other weekend. He has since re-married (I found that out from my kids) and now lives with his new wife and her child.

This weekend as the kids were with me, I received their paperwork for their physical exams for school. He has his new wife listed on all of their paperwork (school, etc.) as their mother. I am fearful that he is trying take away my parental rights. I have no money to fight him and I receive no alimony. I am desperate to stop him from possibly getting a new duty assignment and, because she is listed as their mother, moving my kids away with my knowledge. Please Help me.

Removal of parental rights is a "court" action he cannot do this alone and without your knowledge

Do you also live in Delaware? What does your court order say about relocating the children?

IMO you should visit the children's school, doctors, and every other place the step may be known as the mother. Take your custody order and have them change the information to show you as their mother, and list you as an emergency contact.

I would take her name off the paperwork and let the school know she is not their mother. I would be having a talk with Dad on this too. I would send him an email so you can keep all this documentation for your records. Don't sound too confrontational but "is there any reason why your wife is listed as their mother on the kid school paperwork" should be a good way to start.

It could be an error on schools part as well. I am not the Mother to three of my five children (although we are going through adoption process) however the school lists me as Mother. Why simple I am the one kids call Mom and take them to school fill out paperwork etc. Bio Mom lives in another state and hasnt seen kids in years. So before you jump on Dad make sure it just wasnt an assumption by school
