My husband recently got residential custody of his 12 year old daughter. Mom kicked her out!?

Now judge changed residential custody to us. Mother has not called child in 2 months and did not let her visit for spring break. she is very angry at the child for wanting to stay with dad. Her step dad wrote this email:

%26quot;I broke my promise to myself. I told myself, once you left. I was not going to talk to you no more. Because I have said it long time ago, you are not fair to your mom. A mother that carried you for 9 months in her stomach. A mother that gave you birth into this world. And for you to give all that up to make your dad happy was wrong. You dad can't teach you how to be a mother or tell you about your body.%26quot;

when you decided to leave, the only thing I can do is support you on your decision. I will not talk to your mom about calling you, when I tried after you left. She was so hurt. %26quot;

We are thinking about filing a restraining order against the mom and step dad. since we think this is emotional abuse....please help or enlighten us in anyway you can. Child is very sad becuase she thinks her mother hates her and she misses her step sister. She does not want to live with mom again but wants to see her sister...PLEASE HELP!!! ADVISE!!!My husband recently got residential custody of his 12 year old daughter. Mom kicked her out!?That is not grounds for a restraining order. Her mother is hurt. Her step dad is trying to ease the tension.

Why did she leave?My husband recently got residential custody of his 12 year old daughter. Mom kicked her out!?I think it comes very close to emotional abuse as well, but the courts will probably not see it this way, unless worse things have been said repeatedly. Emotional abuse is VERY subjective and in nearly all cases restraining orders are not granted.



My advice, be an adult. Be there for her as much as possible. Don't cause this child more drama than is absolutely needed...this is unnecessary drama.My husband recently got residential custody of his 12 year old daughter. Mom kicked her out!?Custody/visitation issues are better served to resolve in family court..if you believe the child is being emotional abused, you can seek counseling for the child and have an evaluation done to see if there are any affects of emotional abuse going on with the other parent
