What is the name of your state? Colorado
I will try to be brief- My daughter left the state in May of 2001 when she was still 15 with a guy she met on the internet. Well, they went to NYC where he lives with his mom and dad. They were sure they were in love etc... I didn't know where she was for awhile, but through my own detective work I located her. She told her boyfriend she was 17 going on 18 and that is what they told his mom as well. I finally talked to him and told him she was 15, he didn't realize that. I found out later he was 22. His parents let them stay with them and before too long she was pregnant. Well, because of that I didn't try to get her returned back here. She went on to have the baby in april and my husband and I flew to NY and consented for them to get married in May. We figured if they could make it together it would be better for the baby. This situation was investigated by CPS or whatever it is called in NY, and determined that there was no grounds for investigation. They then closed the case. Well, now things are getting bad between my daughter and her husband. On top of everything else (or maybe the real problem) is his mom who is butting into their business and controls everything in the household. Well, my daughter is ready to come home now to Colorado and of course she wants to bring the baby. What I need to know is, can they do anything to stop her? I am pretty ignorant about these things since I have never been divorced or anything. My daughter thinks they will lie and say she is a bad mother etc. I told her to keep her cool and not get upset and tell them you are just going to visit me for a couple weeks so you can have time to think etc. I have to say she is a very good mother for being so young and she takes good care of the baby and is very devoted to him. The only time she ever leaves him is to go to work or school. All she wants now is to be able to take care of him and support him. She wants to come back here and go to school so she can take care of him. My husband and I are willing to help her too. I figure she should be here, cause if they split up they will probably kick her out and she doesn't have anybody in NY to help her. She doesn't want to take the baby away from his dad, but he is getting mean with her (not physically) and she feels like she isn't welcome there. His mom is also giving her grief. They know she doesn't have anywhere to go either. If anyone can give us some advice it would be appreciated. I hope this doesn't turn ugly, but if it does, I want her to be protected.
