I live in Georgia and am a man. My ex wife is abusively controlling. After our divorce she turned into super mom. Having to control every tiny thing about the children to the point of obsession. My son wants to be with me and my attorney says the judges have to consider a request at 12, strongly consider at 13, and no choice but accept the request at 14. Unless the request isnt in the best interest of the child, ie... the requested parent is a crimminal or drug addict etc...

If you want custody of your children, the best thing you can do is hire an experienced and good child custody attorney.  I would strongly advise you NOT to go it without legal help.\n\nIf you decide to go it alone, go to a law library.  Many counties (or if you are in Louisiana, parishes) have law libraries.  A better library to go to would be the library of a law school - if you are in Louisiana, go to the law school library at LSU or Tulane.  Look at the statutes on Family Law or Domestic Relations to find out the law on how to get custody.  You will also have to look at the law on Civil Procedure to know what is required for your Modification of Custody lawsuit.  The law library may also have resources about the law in Guam.  Just ask a law librarian - they are usually very helpful, but they WILL NOT give you legal advice.\n\nFinally, I don't know the law in Louisiana, but in Georgia, in order to modify custody you have to show that the custodial parent is "unfit."  I don't know if the mere fact that your wife is a lesbian meets the standard of unfitness.   By the way, are you already divorced, or are you going through that process as well?  If you are not already divorced, then "unfitness" may not be a factor.\n\nI hope this helps!  Good luck.

I am in a somewhat situation.  Baby's father has been gone for 2 years with no contact or request to see is his daughter.  Today he shows up at my work place in disguise of hood and glasses?\n\nI am custodial parent due to his absence.\n\nMy feelings are that if a "parent/father/mother" held an interest in their child, then why cause such an absence?\n\nLaw states that after a period of one year that the parent has "abandoned" the child.  Then why allow that parent any right to see or visit the child?\n\nAfter this period the child no longer remembers nor feels any level of love or safety with the unfamiliar face.  The lack of continuous contact has depleted the bond between infant/child and the absent parent.\n\nTo simply pay an amount of money to the Mother/Father for the sake of "child support" shouldn't give that parent the right to visit the child.\n\nThe comfort level, ease and knowledge of an otherwise stranger, should be considered on behalf of the child.\n\nI feel that if an absent parent is void of contact, yet pays child support,wishes to see their child, it should NOT be allowed under the child safty act.\n\nWhile the law may say that the lack of child support payments should not void a parents right to see their child?  I beg to differ!\n\nI say that if a parent loves their child then it is unreasonable to abandone that child.  And to simply pay some amount of money does NOT give you a right to be in that childs life!\n\nCustodial parents are there to comfort the child when they cry out at night, get a boo-boo, need dinner, sick, afraid or feel harm, pay medical bills, do the birthday party and are there to explain Princess Fiona and Shrek.\n\nWhere is the "absent" parent?  The lack of "moment" does NOT negate parental obligation and committment.

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure that rule only applies to Louisana because they have a different legal system there then the rest of the country. It’s called the Louisiana Civil Code; it’s similar to the Napoleonic Code. It’s the only state in the union with this system.

That is really depends on you. Why is your son with his grandmother at the first place? Are you employed? If you cant provide your son, chances are the state will have someone else to look for him until you can.

Yes, here's some material on that: \nhttp://library.findlaw.com/2000/Jul/1/131781.html (summary of rights)\nhttp://www.dads.state.tx.us/services/agingtexaswell/legal/grandparent_visitation.html (Tex. Dept. of Aging)\n\nThere are also common-law rights (or more correctly perhaps, priority for guardianship), but these are mostly applicable in cases where parental incompetence (or incarceration, death or abandonment) is shown.

I'm not an attorney so the best person to ask would be to have a free consultation w/ an attorney you find in the yellow pages. But from my understanding you can revoke his visitation rights w/ a modification to the decree/order. If he tried for shared parenting later it all depends on the circumstances and the judge but it is possible.

Unfortunately not. In most states, grandparents have no rights where grandchildren are concerned. The only time this changes is if the parents are incarcerated or there is evidence of abuse. In either case CPS, and attorney and court must be involved.

The grandchild when it becomes of age. Unless specified by an attorney somewhere that a Parent may. Ask an attorney just call and ask should be free advice!

i'm not sure about other states but in VA the grandparents have to.  My mom works for child support enforcement and she said if they both signed over 'legal' gaurdianship then everything should be ok.  But they have to get child support from both parents not just from the dad or mom.

Ayup.\n\nGrandparent Rights to Visitation: As a part of a decree dissolving the marriage or a decree that neither party is entitled to a divorce, the court may grant visitation to the grandparent if the grandparent has intervened in the suit for dissolution of the marriage. The court must find that the visitation is in the best interest of the child, after considering the statutory best interest factors. Title 20, Section 20-124.1 (C.V. § 20-124.1).\n\nSo if it's you your asking about, hurry up and file the necessary papers to intervene.

Hmm, you might want to contact the Association of American Railroads (AAR), they should be able to get the information you need on Louisiana's railroads.  Best of luck to you!

If you have concerns, I wouldn't send the child. \n\nThere are ways that grandparents can legally obtain guardianship of grandchildren. They can file motions to protect, motions for emergency guardianship, etc, by claiming that you are an unfit parent. Then, while they would have the burden of proof, it would still be a lengthy and expensive proposition for you to contend with. Your attorney would have to be located in the same state that the petitions were filed.

You can get a passport for her, even though she is so young.  Depending on how your parents are traveling you may also need a notarized letter saying that you are the custodial parent and have given permission for your child to travel with her grandparents.

In Louisiana, you can demand $ 5.00 an hour, per child. If they realise that their children get along fine in your care, parents might soon start paying you even more - but first, you will have to prove your worth, and deserve the raise !

I know at age 13 they have the right to decide which parent they want to live with.  I'm not sure if they have the right to refuse visitation with the other parent though.
