What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
As some of you longtime members see, I am back again with new troubles, but, do have an attorney. Just here for some advice from outside parties. Sorry to have 2 threads, but this is a seperate matter.
So, brief rundown, ex is incarcerated, 4 felony and 1 mis. drug charges. It's not his first time, but, it's the worst he's done.
August 2008, I received full custody due to ex having kiddo in the car while he was purchasing heroin (supposed to be supervised by g-ma, ex's mom). After he was let out of jail he had 2 hours supervised (by whom I choose or me) per week.
Seemed to go well allowing g-ma supervising for the mere 2 hours till April, 2010 when I happened to run into ex, some girl, and kiddo out and about without g-ma so I ended allowing her to supervise and took over.
Ex visited 7 more times from May - Aug 2010 then stopped.
So, g-ma has had no contact with kiddo since April 2010. Ex since Aug 2010.
Ex was arrested and is looking at serious jail time.
Low and behold, a week after ex's arrest, I receive papers that g-ma is suing for PARTIAL CUSTODY, not even visitation!!!
She cites her reasons as "she was caregiver and playmate to kiddo when ex had his time."
So, at the motion hearing, Judge says she must allow her to continue her filing simply based on the fact that ex and I have been seperated for more than 6 months as per statue. (we've been divorced for 7 years) The Judge also commented to her that "she is letting her continue, but not telling her she'll get anything."
The kicker, g-ma has allowed ex and his brother, both over 30 year old men live in her home. The bro was also arrested on felony drug charges, released on ROR, then rearrested on theft/receiving stolen, trespass and is back in jail.
The period bro was on ROR, he again lived with g-ma before being rearrested.
Their histories include posession charges and gun charges as well.
Anyways, with her poor supervision leading to kiddo to be put in bad situations, her constant allowing her 2 sons with so many issues in her home, the time frame since she's been incontact with kiddo, and her lack of reasoning to want partial custody, whatare your thoughts on chances? Certainly I don't think she'll get any custody, but visitation? I DO NOT want kiddo in her home and that unsafe environment and do not want a CO telling me I have to.
What are my chances if I just say NO at the concilliation in April to any visitation?
Thanks as always for your thoughts!
