Arizona What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
My husband and I are waiting for a court date for our grandparents visitation rights. It is for our granddaughter that is nearly 11, we helped raise her from birth and have always been very close. Her mother, my daughter, is divorcing now and the husband is NOT this granddaughter's father, but always was 'daddy' to her during their 6 year marriage.
My daughter has turned so hateful, I had my granddaughter and her little brother (half brother) over a weekend hoping they could stay a few days while the 'heat' of things could cool down a bit and they wouldn't have to be around it. My daughter called the police on us saying we would not give her kids back, while we were waiting for her to contact us about when she would want them!!
Needless to say we were devastated and heartbroken that she would do that to us after so many years of supporting her in so many ways. So now she has not let me near my granddaughter at all and we had to get the attorney. So he is waiting now on her response to our petition, she has already gone into default and her last day to respond to the default is Monday.
Apparently she is doing this out of fear, spite, and I think mentally she has a real issue. My poor granddaughter is being kept from ANY of her natural family, no one can see her, her mom took her little cell phone away so she can't call any of us in an emergency.
I am so heartbroken. Yes, there is a boyfriend in the picture, he is a heavy drinker, abusive and scares me he is around my granddaughter, even picks her up after school and takes her to his house until my daughter gets off work. I have to stand by and watch and cry.
I'm not sure what I'm asking here, it's all so hurtful. This is not my daughter I always knew. I've lost all trust and feel so angry with her for not seeing what she is doing to that little girl emotionally. It's possible my daughter will stay in default so we'll get a default hearing, it's killing me waiting!!
The judge will be the same one my son in law had for pre-custody of the half-brother and he is 5, the judge didn't want that boyfriend around the little guy. So I am hoping she will see the same issue with our granddaughter and order that the boyfriend no longer be allowed around our little granddaughter, and maybe even give us more than we have so far asked for considering the emotional abuse that is evident. I have photos, etc...tons of evidence for our case.
Input on this anyone???
Thanks,
Grammy that can't stop crying.
