and how do i respond to that court paper he send meChild custody?I agree with some of the other comments regarding your need to let go. If you felt the father should not have had primary care and possession, you would not have let the boy go.
I wonder what grounds he has to bring the suit. In Texas usually the custodial parent has to have voluntarily relinquished primary care and control of the child to the non custodial parent. Or the child has to be in danger...but anyway.
In your response, you will need to basically disagree with the things your ex is requesting the court do. In other words, it could look like this.
Ex - Is requesting that the court modify the existing order so that he becomes the primary custodial parent.
Your response - request that the court deny the motion to modify the existing order due to the fact that you did not voluntarily relinquish primary care and control of the child to the ex for a period of 6 months or more etc...
Everything he is requesting, you ask the court to keep the order the same that is in place.Child custody?try legal aidChild custody?Mommy... you need to learn to let go. This son is not your procession, he is a human being that needs the upbringing of a man. You bonded with your child as you should have, you had your time with him. You son is not going to forsake you forever. Let the boy have the next 5-6 years with his father. It is the right thing to do. I bet the father will not ask you for child support.
Forget the money. The child did not starve to death. The money would have been gladly given if the father felt comfortable with you.
Sit down with the father and agree to your visitation rights. It is time for you to get a life other than mommy.Child custody?You do need an attorney to represent you in this manner.... Check in your area if there is a legal aid office they charge according to income.
Your son is of the age that he can determine who he wishes to live with so you must take this into consideration and the judge will listen to all of you before he determines what is in the best interest for your son to remain with you or live with his father.
Best of LuckChild custody?pl seek legal guidance.what ever you do should legally right so you need an attornyChild custody?Law facilitators can help and they are usually located in the courthouse.Child custody?I'm sorry you're going through this............. but........... if your ex has custody, care, and control of your son more than you do... than he deserves to have it legal. And............ he deserves to not have to pay support when he is taking care of your son the majority of the time.
You mentioned that he wasn't paying before. Here's what you do.... dig up your old orders that show that your ex was SUPPOSED to be paying support. If you can prove that he hasn't been keeping up his payments, than you are owed that back amount. However, if you are talking about going forward and not having your son live with you... and you STILL expect a support payment............... how is that fair?
