What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? Nc hi,iam the grandmother of a 5 year old boy and the father is my son. hoping you guys can give some really good advice my son has filed an emergency coustody hearing that is to be heard on Tuesday
The grounds listed mom,who is custodial, left son with dad since June and has saw only 5 times since then with 2 overnights in October, mom hasn't had to pay for anything since 2017 for their son,dad paid it all. In 2017,mom left my then 3 year grandson choking on a quarter with her grandmother to handle instead of taking care of him just so she could go to work. The grandmother called my son who called 911 and met them at the grandmother's house.
At the hospital, the quarter was find lodged in his throat and they had to do surgery to get it out. After they left the hospital, my son brought him to my house where my son lives also,a month later the parents got back together and all 3 have lived with me til June of this year. In june,the parents broke up and mom left,leaving her son with dad. In October,mom gets married and now wants her son back Dad is afraid mom won't take care of their son based on the quarter incident plus mom has left him home alone, ince with a fever . Dad didn't file anything with the court at the time because moms dad is the city attorney and he never got a fair hearing back in 2015 during the orginal coustody hearing, for example mom had let then 2 year old get out of house,walk 3 blocks ,got in road and was almost struck by a truck. The police who picked him up charged mom with negligence and cops was called but nothing was done and the judge wouldn't allow his lawyer to use it.
There was a hearing last Tuesday but the judge was honest and said he had to rescue himself from the case because he knows the family.
The orginal order was mom was primary and dad secondary THey both had physical and dad did pay child support up to 2017 when they all lived with me. Parents never married, paternity was established early on.
The question is,does the father stand a chance at getting temporary coustody based on those facts or has he missed his window of opportunity? Both parents have lawyers but his says he needs to do 7 on 7 off til it gets heard in a regular hearing but the father is concerned, given moms lack of caring,that something bad will happen to his son
