Yes...Actually I am very interested!!

Yes...Actually I am very interested!!

Do you also wonder at what the GAL is apparently saying? That it's in the child's best interest to be SAFE and that "Mammie" can't provide safety... but the GAL hasn't yet mentioned that the child needs to be with her father?

it says in Guardian report "The best interest for "daughter" is to be safe, and I as G.A.L and the eyes and ears of the court have found that "mammie" cannot protect "Daughter" from her Drunken Mother "mothers name" and "daughters" Predetory Uncle "uncles name" therefor Guardianship of "daughter" should be terminated and Parental rights returned to "hubbys Name"

Grammie got guardianship when she had SD mother sign Guardianship papers. And then several months later while hubby was at work had SD mother take her from child care. When dad got home the cops were at the sisters but was saying there was nothing they could do. So Grammie takes these papers from her purse and says to Hubby sign these and we will go file them and then we can go get your daughter back for you. Once Grammie had daughter she refused to give her back to Hubby Stating that "Fathers should not raise there daughters" She even admits it was all a set up. Mother signed Guardianship papers in April, Father didnt sign papers till July 26th. GAL even states in his report that there was something wrong there.

Update

Well things went well, we were called into judges chambers. My hubby and I talked the night before court and the next morning to our lawyer, and we want to do whats best for Daughter. So we came to an agreement. We agreed to let "Mammie" keep SD for School year but we get her for all summer and all school vacations. The Judge said to "Mammie" lets try the shoe on the other foot for the summer. So last day of school custody swaps to us and "mammie" comes to get SD every other weekend and then when school starts custody swaps back to "mammie". But the Judge did say to Mammie that this is an IRON CLAD AGREEMENT, and the First time "Mammie" pulls anything Guardianship is terminated Immedietly. She did tell "mammie" that she will no longer be able to Keep using her court for her own personal playground and that By LAW my Hubby should have his daughter, so Mammie is lucky we came to an agreement. We really wanted for Daughter to come live with us, but the more this drags out the more this little girl gets hurt, and we just want to do whats best for her, BUT the first time she pulls anything we will got to court and file charges, "Mammie" was Crying in the parking lot because SHE LOST and she didnt even lose shes just selfish and doesnt have any control over us anymore. So We are very happy with the outcome

Your husband won even though Mammie is unable to keep the child safe? Great. Hubby won, child lost. Nice.

That was my thought!! Poor kid!

 

[katinmaine]

I feel the same way as you guys...but what else are we to do. But I can tell you this...It wont be long before she messes up and then Guardianship will be terminated

 

[ebnme]

Before she messes up? the fact that you can even say that makes me sad and sickens me...that poor child is being abused and molested and no one is doing anything to stop it, not you or her father. there is no way a court let her stay there and not with ya'll unless you are leaving out a whole bunch of stuff that her father or you have done

Why in the world did you come to an agreement? Why didnt you fight tooth and nail for this child? So mammie keeps her full time during the school year? and Mammie is abusing her? and you AGREED to this? something doesnt jive here. Either you exaggerated your story about abuse or youre pretty awful people to just AGREE.

We didnt JUST AGREE we had no choice except to come to an agreement and we talked long and hard about it. our attoney told us we probably wouldnt get her because we had no proff except what this little girl has said and to all of them in court it is just hearsay. So we did come to an agreement which puits her in our home more often

My jaw dropped reading this. She goes on and on about the abuse, then states that Dad won in court? Granny still has the child who is being abused. Then the most amazing part is her comment on how Granny will mes up .

What? When the child is dead?

What is the name of your state? Maine

My Husband and I have been fighting to terminate the Guardianship that hubbys mother has on his daughter since January 2006. It has been a long and hard fight. This little girl has been abused and put in danger for a while now, but no one believed us. Finally after months of saying this, The G.A.L (Guardian Ad-Litem) for hubbys daughter came to our house one saturday to talk to her, She had been telling us for months that her "Mammie" was hitting her with sticks in the head and on her back, she showed us bruises, (at the time we didnt know that we should of taken her to the E.R. for it) Well her G.A.L took her alone to talk to her, she confirmed that she was being abused, and that "mammie" had told her what to say to the G.A.L. when he had come to talk to her at mammies house (same thing with DHHS worker) and she also told him that she had lied to him about going alone with her Great Uncle because "mammie" said she would get hurt if she told the truth. (Great Uncle was the same man that Hubbys mother had let molest him as a child) G.A.L. looked in to everything and he has found that Daughter is not safe in that house, he even found out that "Mammie" has been letting daughter go with her alcoholic mother every other weekend, but does not know where she lives, to me that is not protecting her. G.A.L has Stated in his report that the Best Interest for daughter is to be SAFE and that "mammie" cannot do it, so Guardianship should be terminated. Thats Great Right, but "mammies" lawyer keeps getting a continuence so it hasnt gone to court, and that little girl is not safe, how do we get this little girl out of this home before she gets abused anymore or Molested. If anyone has gone through this or knows anything that we can do to get her out of their please post to this. She needs to get out of their.

Thank you

So you want us to believe that the judge did not listen to the GAL? There is way more to this, and there is a reason your hubby did not get his daughter.
