What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?I live in Illinois. My 13 year old sons father now lives in Wisconsin, he has been there for about 3 to 4 years. Here is where it starts getting confusing.... My son lives with my aunt who also lives in IL. She has guardianship of him and has had for about 7-8 years now. He was not removed from my home in any way, nor was there a reason for him to be.I had an emotional breakdown and was unable to take care of him so I asked my aunt to please take care of him for me and that I would grant her guardianship. When we filed for my aunt to obtains guardianship we had to wait about a month so that his father could be notified, on the day we were to sign the papers, his father did not appear, nor had he contacted us. Also, we had not heard from him for approximately a year, nor did we hear from him for about another 2 to 3 or more years. My sons father had little to no contact with him up until about 2 years ago. Any contact was usually initiated by myself, my aunt, or my son. After his father moved to Wisconsin to live with his brother and sister-in-law, it was usually my son. We were never married, he is on the birth certificate, he does pay child support ( when he decides to work). Which during process of obtaining support he did tell the DA that my son was not his. My son is "MAKING" his father be a part of his life. For the past 2 summers my son has spent them with his father in Wisconsin and is planning to do so again this summer. He usually comes back home about 2 days before school starts. However, my son has decided that he wants to live with his father, and that he wants to move up there this summer. I don't want him to live with his father for various reasons: it is out of state, he doesnt have his own place to live, he can't (or won't) hold down a job, his wife left him and took their children moving back to IL and refuses to let him know where they are (but no one knows why she left, and her mother refuses to tell him where they're at.). pick any one of those or a few personal ones I'd rather not discuss, but it takes little imagination to figure out. I know my son is old enough to decide which parent he wants to live with, and he knows that he is old enough to decide as well, but I am extremely concerned. My son also wants my aunt to relinquish guardianship, why, I don't know. What can I do. I don't think that it is a good idea and I don't want my son to learn some of the things his father has to teach. Please help.
