What is the name of your state? Michigan
Ok. I am married and we are a family of "his", "mine" and "ours". My oldest (8) is from a previous relationship that does not interfere with my current. Our other two boy (3 and 8mos) are from our union. Then there is my stepdaughter (4), that is the subject of this discussion. Her mother and my husband (before we got married) had a one night stand. Ok. Her mother moved to Ohio, had a baby, gave his mother a call to report it and filed for child support. They did not know each other (yes that is nasty) but every year since the child was 2, she has been with us for 3-7 months per year.
Now we have been advised to seek full custody in order to end up the joint (physical and legal). Her mother has two other children that their maternal grandmother has filed for custody for. My question is should I feel bad that I am in essence taking her daughter from her, or should I continue the proceedings?
Note. my household is the reverse of what society says is correct. i work and my husband keeps the kids.
