What is the name of your state? Massachusetts. My husband has had his daughter since her mother took off in 1997. He went to court to obtain a temporary order of sole physical custody, which the mother agreed to. This temporary order stated the mother would see the daughter one week out of the year. Now move forward some 8 years later, my husband and I decided to move to NC. The mother who lives in FL flew up to MA to help the her mother get emergency guardianship saying that my husband threatened his daughter (Daughter does not want to move, she is now 15). Mother and Grandmother never had my husband served, she has stated several reasons, i.e. she did not know where he was, she didn't know she had to serve him.
We have been going to court to get this order vacated because it was done I will say illegally, and we have not had a lot of luck with this at all. We drove up for a court date on the 31st, and the judge didn't even look at anything he just set a trial for Aprill 11th. So we flew up to MA on Saturday and went to court on Monday.
This judge is such a jerk, he did vacate the order but, he then turned around and gave temporary custody to the childs mother, and her mother. My husband now has NOTHING! He has had sole physical custody of his daughter since she was 8 years old, and now because she doesn't want to move, and because her mother wants to be a hero, my husband loses custody of his daughter? He is a great father, and we don't know what to do. Can we petition for a new judge? His lawyer says we can't that it's done by case number. I really do like his lawyer a lot but I find it hard to believe we can't petition for a new judge. Please help me.
