Anyone not file with cps involved?
There is a long backstory to this but to get up to today's issue dh has primary of ss as of 3 or 4 yrs now. Of course bc bm can't stop messing her own life up.
We find out recently she's been leaving her 3 or maybe all 4 kids unattended while she "works" or does whatever she does all night. One of her kids told on her saying she was scared being left alone with her siblings. Cps got involved and bm is under investigation now.
We also asked ss about this and he says yes this has happened twice before. We were shocked he told us bc he doesn't ever tell us anything that goes on over there. He also admitted he does not like this. Which makes sense bc he's the oldest of the 4 and what child wants to manage 2 or 3 other kids alone. Cps calls us and asks ss the same questions. He tells them the same and she asked if hes been left with a way to communicate and he says no.
We had no idea they'd been left alone multiple times overnight with no supervision. Terrible so dh says yea he's not going back til cps or court changes this. We'll cps has been involved before back in 2021 and that's how things changed from dh being secondary to primary parent. It was made temp thru cps until we got a lawyer to make it permanent a yr later. In that temp time of 9mts ss did not go there at all while the other dads allowed it and of course had consequences for it.
Anyways this is happening again it seems but this time we are primary. Dh does not feel he needs to go to court right now bc has primary of ss so he feels it's best he just keep him. But he is technically going against the current CO where she gets weekends. So not sure with us being primary if there's some kind of difference. I understand dh bc we've been the ones always having to pay for a lawyer to take her to court repeatedly before it changed back in 2021. So he's like he's primary so she can pay for court and a lawyer. Idk I think Monday we should have some type of back up. It's expensive so we want to make sure this is something we need to do now or would he be in the right since she's technically neglecting her kids? Has anyone dropped the CO and it worked out? Maybe cps would make the temp change and we can keep him anyway? She shouldn't have gotten overnights back in 2021....so for this to happen it's insane. We told and showed how untrustworthy she was and yea I feel they'll be once again Lenient. Very sad. The worst has already happened back them. Idk what this corrupted county she lives in is waiting for
If DH does not send SS for visitation, he is running the risk
If DHH does not send SS for visitation, he is running the risk of being held in contempt, even if she is being investigated by CPS. He should ask for an emergency hearing to suspend visitation until CPS finishes their investigation. He should also ask for overnight visitations to end.
Good idea
He tried to file emergency ex parte but he was told he can't do it in this case when we went to court. Okay yea Monday we need to get suggestions from a lawyer. I wasn't sure we can modify to no overnights bc that'd really the last step with all this. Once that's done no need to fight anything else.
High risk! Do not violate
High risk! Do not violate the CO. Even in the best and least corrupt counties, morons in idiot Harry Potter robes slinging wooden Fisher-Price toddler's hammers don't like that. Even if the parent that you are protecting the SKid from has a habbit of roasting them on a spit over an open fire. Figuratively of course.
Has BM demanded her time? If not, then document, document, document, get a lawyer, prepare and bare her ass for refusing visitation if and when it ends up back in court.
Be very wary of violating the CO. Even when the other parent is total shit, this can bite the good parent in the ass big time.
Also, as a single multi donor breeder, and being the sanctified HCGUBM, BM likely will get a free attorney. Do not count on her having to pay for one to fight your SO for his kid. If SO violates, odds are likely high that he could get nailed for her court and legal costs.
Not a risk I would take. File for emergency full custody, motion to suspend BM visitation until CPS finishes their investigation, and do not risk getting sideways with the robed moron(s). Sitting and doing nothing is not an option in this situation IMHO.
Hm make sense
This makes sense but in family court how can she get a free lawyer? Can Dh get a free lawyer since it would be against him? I agree we should get some legal counsel on this and not wait around. This whole time things flip in her in court no matter what dh does. Hm yea she brought it up yesterday after this post she mentioned he's in contempt so idk what she's planning but we can't be sitting duck's esp now that she's bringing it up. Before that she hadn't said anything.
So just sharing what happened
So just sharing what happened with us when Spawn didn’t want to go visit Meth Mouth one weekend, we contacted our lawyer who said to contact the police and let them know that the child wanted to skip visitation. DH and Spawn went to the police station, and they called Meth Mouth and Spawn stated in front of the police officer she was afraid to go spend the weekend with her mother. Meth Mouth could have filed contempt if she wanted to, but because it was documented with our lawyer and with the police that Spawn had stated she was scared and had told Meth Mouth this there wasn’t much she could do, other than waste her own time and pay the court fees. I think Spawn was 14 or 15 at the time. Not sure how old your SS is, but might want to speak with a lawyer or local law enforcement to see what they say in these cases.
Interesting
That's good how that worked out. Bm hasn't ever taken dh to court this entire time but her bringing up contempt seems a possibility. We will be reaching out today.
DH has to go court and
Do. It legallya, he has a perfect opportunity to stop BM visatations. He has reports from CPS. If he doesn't do it legally now it will come back and bite him
Agreed
You're right. We will be calling today.
