What is the name of your state? My granddaughter, who lived with her mother in Michigan at the time of the accident, was visiting with her father at one of their friend's home. My granddaughter fell off of a monkey bar and broke her arm. Her father, who shares joint legal custody, took her to the hospital for treatment. Because he was friends with the people whom owned the property, a settlement was paid to him. We do not know what was paid. We would like to know what the terms are to the settlement as well as the dollar amount. Mom had both physical custody and joint-legal custody (still does) yet know one seems to want to tell her anything. At one point there was an issue of the step-mother signing paperwork representing herself as the mother. What are my daughter's rights and where can she go to get answers?
