I want what's best for this little boy. Whether it be her or me. I want him to be raised by someone who will make him a priority. She gives him a great fun time when they visit but doesn't call for weeks between the visits. Has never been to a school/sport function. Doesn't understand my concern...

And if sitter had got in accident on way there? Or 7 yr old walked out the door? What if?

boyfriend's mother had heart attack. Left house to go to hospital before sitter got there. She stated it was only a few minutes. Sitter was on her way Long enough that child bragged about being a big boy and staying home alone. But admits being a lil scared.

I do try to support the relationship. I go to Oh frequently to visit and let her see him. Always offer her to come here. She has stayed at my house to visit. Send her all sports schedules and school events. Have never bad mouthed her and he thinks the world of her. But after leaving him alone at...

Don't know if she was doing drugs. Went out alot and didn't want a baby to take care of. The same court that gave me custody also granted me child support so they're aware im out of state. Will it help at all that she had another son 2 yrs ago and gave him up for adoption?

When we had the hearing in front of the magistrate, she asked the mother if she understood that she was signing over all rights for the entire 18 years of him being a minor and the mother said yes. Why then would the court have jurisdiction over where I move? I don't understand

7 1/2. I've had legal custody almost 6 years

Why would I need permission? Yes she has visits. And recently has been doing better and I've let her take him back to Ohio for visits. But over spring break admitted that she left him alone and because that made me uncomfortable with her taking him to Florida for vacation she got mad and filed...

I meant she signed him over willingly in court. Not proven unfit. Thank you

How was it a short cut? It was in the court of common pleas/juvenile division and a magistrates decision and documented as all parties agree?

They're in front of me. Under decision it has 3 options. Interim, temporary, and legal custody. Legal custody is checked and under that is checked that the above captioned child is awarded to me with effective date underneath

I've been told that because original custody was given in Ohio , that it's considered his "home state" and hearings have to be done there even though we've been residents of Michigan for 3 1/2 years
