What is the name of your state? Florida (just moved to Florida In February) but case was filed in GA.
Need help! It’s very complicated, will try to give you short version.
Married almost 8 years, husband got on antidepressants and started drinking heavily. He comes from very wealthy family and too proud to send him to rehab when I asked for help. He ended up pulling gun with silencer on me then attacking me. Our home surveillance recorded it all. Kids were home but in bed. We left.
My parents ended up seeing video and called police. My mom didn’t realize what trouble he was looking at. Once she learned he could be sent away for 10 years in prison she mentally flipped bc of guilt I guess and turned on me in mean time. She pulled strings and did everything she could to try and keep him from going to prison. She got him down to jail and a trustee instead prison and Approx 2 years. He was sentenced last September. It was easier to blame me instead of accept he had major problems. He’s a great manipulator and lied even though I had video. He would some how twist things. Home was broken into 3 times during separation (later figured out passports, birth certificates, documents stolen).
After he went to jail and divorce finalized the very next day I was served with grandparent rights. Ex in-laws and my parents teamed together. My lawyer said they didn’t have a case really bc I was a fit mother (never been in trouble). I was a stay at home mom and live for my kids (7 yr old daughter & 5 yr old son). Both grandparents are wealthy and throw their power around. My parents are very involved in town and over community club, etc.They know everyone. They have a lot of pull. Well ended up judge gave them 100% of what they proposed. My lawyer and I were shocked. They didn’t even meet the requirements. Judge didn’t even care it over lapped with fathers visitation when he gets out. Once father is free I will only have my kids one weekend a month and no holidays as I have to share with both GP and dad. It’s not right! Other family are against my parents and have told me my mom is crazy enough to try to pull emergency custody. I’m afraid judge will give my parents anything they want. I am scared to give my kids to them. I moved to Florida to where I had family to help since judge said it was my decision since ex is incarcerated and no money.
GP tell kids things they should never know, like the arguments, or they divide me and kids and make kids question me. It’s not ok at all. My daughter is very mature and smart for her age and sees right through it, bc of this they don’t really care to see GP. They also saw them screaming at me and scared them. This is all about control more then anything else.
Have been told the goal is to push me out of kids lives. Parents and ex in-laws have admitted they want to raise my kids as their own. They don’t care how much $ they spend. I’ve been left broke and everything taken away from us.
Another note, I’m scared once father gets out he will disappear with kids. Out of country would be easy for him. But in mean time I am scared GP will get kids and not give back.
I need 6 months FL residency to refile in Florida (which will be September). Can I get arrested for not giving kids to GP if I’m in Florida? I have Private investigators on us, it’s very apparent, family in Florida have even noticed. We are practically being tortured. Always nervous about what’s going to happen next.
My kids have never been more then maybe 4 days without me. I can’t let this happen.
obviously money and power control the court system and they have made sure to leave kids and I broke to not be able to fight back.
please help with any advice!
