What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida.
I have two children, 1, and 4. I have always lived with their father, and his mother and family When I had my first, I was working and in school, and the grandmother took care of my kids. It was supposed to be a babysitting thing, but when I came home, I found that her, with her domineering attitude, would not let me, with my submissive mindset, take care of him. Everytime I tried, I was yelled at and hollered at for doing somthing "wrong", which wasnt wrong, just not perfect in grandmas eyes. i havent even hardly been able to be alone with my children. I havent been allowed to be mother to my children, and yes its my fault that I didnt put my foot down. But the father and i are separated(we were never married), and Im tired of being walked over. I just want to be mommy to my babys. We currently live in Florida, but my whole family(whom the children have not been allowed to meet) lives in maine. My father lives up there with two houses, tons of land and money where I can live for free and give my kids a good life, instead of down here living in a house full of people who dont work. The father is now supporting all of them, and they are barely making it, getting food stamps in my name, ect. I want to take my kids and give them a better life in Maine and be a mommy to them, but i know that his family(the dad dosnt lift a finger to care for the kids, its all the grandmother) will fight. I doubt theyd get a lawyer in thier finiacial situation, but they will make it hard for me to get them to begin with. I WANT the kids to be able to come see thier family of course, the grandma and dad have the rights to see them. Im not trying to take them away forever to never see the dad or grandma again, I just want to truly be mother to them. Please let me know what I can do!
