family problems


What is the name of your state? Alabama
I was hospitalized for depression in November. Since then, my husband has refused to let me be alone with my 3 year old son. I have a daughter by another marriage and there's no problem with me keeping her. His mother comes and picks the child up every day that my husband is not home. She wakes him up at 5:30 a.m. to either take him to a baby sitter or home with her. I have discussed this matter with my husband and my doctor. My doctor says I am perfectly capable of taking care of my son. My husband refuses to listen and tells me he will not allow me to be alone with my son. We are not divorced. What can I do legally?

simple -- meet his mother at the door - politely tell her her services aren't needed and shut the door **************... you are under NO obligation to let ANYONE take that child out of the house**************it is bound to cause some stress between you and your husband but it sounds as though there is plenty of that already....

That sounds like a wonderful idea, however I'm sure my husband will definitely not go along with it. What do I do if he steps in, takes our son and gives him to his mother? And yes, I am under stress. I don't want a divorce but I'm afraid this may be my only solution. Of course, he tells me because I've had depression problems no court will ever give me custody of my son.

Sounds like some emotional abuse going on here. How about some help from a social services or womens shelter. In our town, at the court house, there is a victims assistance office. Check them out. Here they offer alot of options.
Good Luck,
Judy
