What is the name of your state? Colorado
My ex and his wife are trying to pressure me into signing a letter and notarizing it, stating that I will allow my daughter to go live with her dad and her stepmom, indefinitely and that they will have full physical and legal custody, and i will be given reasonable visitation, upon agreement of Father and step-mom. They want this letter so that Step-mom can put my daughter on her insurance at her job. I have a medical condition (Bipolar Disorder) that they feel puts my daughter at "risk" and her situation with me does not warrant her best interests. If that were the case, my condition was brought up in court the first time, the judge placed my daughter with me, sole physical custody, and her father Every Other weekend, And every other Tuesday.
I have been TRYING to work out a reasonable plan that would offer my daughter more time with her Dad, and his family -- but they are pressuring me BIG time, to switch things around -- To give me Every other weekend, and One full day every other week. 2 Weeks in the summer. In addition, i would pay child support to them. They are saying they will take the issue to court, and prove me unfit -- and I will get nothing compared to what they are trying to offer me now.
With my condition, (which they are well aware of), I am not supposed to have a lot of stress in my life, as it affects my health. This is totally stressing me out! They call about 2 times a day seeing if I went and signed a paper yet giving them full physical and legal custody. Im to the point that I have stopped answering the phone.
What is considered an unfit parent? What proof would someone have to have to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt, and with convincing evidence?
