you will be hard pressed to find a pro bono attorney. They are in high demand and very short supply. You are probably going to have to find a way to hire an attorney. Who has custody of the child now? you can talk to attorneys and see if you can petition the courts for grandma to pay your legal fees.
Currently, his grandmother has custody. His father and I have made a lot of mistakes this past year. And a lot of it is because we are both intimidated by her and afraid of what might happen. But what matters most to us right now, is that despite our mistakes we DO love our son. She has done nothing but push us out of his life and turn us against each other. Of course we came to our senses, but only when it was too late. Now we need help figuring out what to do. I mean, we want to fight to get her off the custody papers at the very least. But we have a lot against us, and a big battle ahead.
Ok so what do you mean you have made alot of mistakes? You can certainly petition he court for visitation but the courts are likely not going to uproot the child unless you can prove without a doubt the child is better off with you. Disliking grandma does not count. If grandma has custody then its obviously for a reason. Did you have a case open with DSS?
We trusted her when we signed the papers in Sept. We are his parents and are supposed to be looking out for him. It was supposed to only be for 6 months while I got back on my feet. I already have visitation but she hasn't let me see him in 7 months. She always finds a reason to cancel. And has even gone as far as threatening to call CPS on her own son. Not because he has abused or neglected him. But because of an e-mail his fiance supposedly sent to his sister saying that she felt trapped whenever Kole was there...keep in mind that this woman is a wonderful mother of her own two kids. And his sister doesn't even know of this e-mail. Not to mention the fact that no one has seen any proof of it...including his sister. So her own son is now even afraid to fight for our son...because of her. She has done many other things like this. She made me believe that I was a bad mother because I couldn't offer him the things she could...such as his own room. And he could be on her insurance instead of Medicaid. Do you know who is paying for that insurance? Sure the heck isn't her. If you saw the whole picture, and if I had time to write ALL the things she has done and said to make sure she had control of Kole, you might understand. And now that his father and I are trying to fight for him, she wants to adopt him. This woman is a medicated bi-polar. She is a liar and a manipulator and will do ANYTHING to see to it that we are no longer in his lives...no exaggerating. And I know what you think. Well there must be a reason why. The only thing we can think of is the fact that she is married to a man who just turned 30 and would like children...she can't give him that. So why is she determined to take her grandson? Well, first of all his father was the baby of the family who rebelled against her wishes. We aren't married and never have been. She doesn't like the woman who he wants to marry because she called her out a year ago when she started seeing the way his mom was manipulating us. Unfortunately we didn't see it until it was to late. Who the heck is better for the child than his own mother? I could understand if I was abusing him or neglecting him but that isn't the case. I have another child who is doing just fine with me. She isn't his grandmother. He was staying with my parents while I got back on my feet, but is now back with me.
