What is the name of your state?Massachusetts

My ex-boyfriends mother has guardianship of my son who is 15- months old. I signed over custody to her because i was 16 when i had my son. i had no job. nothing. i couldnt support myself. (when i was pregnant i had a job and so forth but had so many problems during pregnancy ended up losing my job.) i know i couldnt give my son the life he wanted right that second and i wanted him to have everything. so i let someone do it who could until i got on my feet. then my ex started hurting me and threatening me and i had him arrested twice. now his mother will not allow me to see my son. its been 3 weeks and i feel like im dying. im fighting and i have a court date next thursday. how can i prove i'm fit to have my son now and give the court a reason to vacate the guardianship order????? i thought i was signing over for temporary. and she tricked me into signing a permanent one 90 days before its supposed to even be looked at or used or even SIGNED for that matter. i believe it to be illegal but im not sure. i never thought this would happen. BTW, the ex boyfriend (baby's dad) is NOT IN THE PICTURE HERE AT ALL. Now i am no longer with my boyfriend who is facing criminal charges for a&b against me twice (its worse than that .. involving a weapon and murder threats) and also does drugs in the house where my son is, the grandmother also drinks a lot. im now trying to get the guardianship order vacated and custody given to me. i have a job and a place to live, no drug or alcohol problems and i`m his mother.
There is also a restraining order against me permitting me from seeing my son. this is so confusing but i will try and make it easy to understand.

on october 11th, 2005 i had my ex arrested for domestic a&b,a&b w/ a dangerous weapon, & threatening to commit a crime ( murder ) - (the threat was added after he threatened me after his miranda rights wee read to him )
On october 12th, 2005 my ex boyfriends mother filed a restraining order against me ( i believe 100% just to get back at me for putting her son in jail and to prevent me from seeing my baby ) the only reason the restraining order against me was granted was b/c i previously lived with her.

is that confusing. im sorry if it is.

On Novemeber 1st 2005 he was calling my home threatening to kill me. I called the polie and filed a report and he had violated the restraining order. this is also the second offense of domestic a&b against me. he was also on pre-trial probation when he did it the second time. when he violated the restraining order he also violated his release terms from court when he was let out on $500.00 bail.
now the mother filed violation of restraining order against me b/c i called my son's daycare to see if he was doing okay. i had no idea this was a violation and the restraining order was never explained to me.

im so confused and hurt at this point. i dont know what to do anymore. it seems that everytime i get something on my ex she tries (and succeed's) at getting something on me also, even with no proof.

I Dont know how to get my son back/what i need to do/what they look at when giving custody..also i dont understand how the courts could be allowing my ex to be in the same HOUSE with my son if he has abusive tendencies. PLEASE HELP I NEED MORE ADVICE THAN ON THE LAST THREAD.

thanks in advance.

Your advice was to retain ( hire ), or your Mother for you Hire an Attorney .

No one here can detail to you how to win in Court ..

Plus It is Obvious , you are not mature or capable enough to go into Court without an Attorney to represent you .

i have to go into that court date pro-se. no lawyer will represent me on that date. its too early. i will not LOSE to a visitation order. im his mother. there is no reason for them not to give me visitation.

Well if you go into court pro-se and the other party has an attorney, you are already at a disadvantage. And just because you are the mother does NOT mean you won't lose. Your sex is irrelevant. I have not read all of the posts regarding this, but if you could not find an attorney, then you simply waited too long.

Your original thread was closed for a reason. I'll bet by the end of the day, this will be closed as well. You were advised to get an attorney and you didn't. THere is really not much anyone else can help you on as NO ONE here can tell you how things will play out.

Abusive to you doesn't mean abusive to the child, in the eyes of the court.

Wait...is this the same person who posted a thread titled almost the EXACT same way -- but instead of "Grandmother took my SON", that one reads "Grandmother took my CHILD" (or something like that).

Hmm...? :confused:

it was an emergency hearing, it happened fast. i have spoken with a pro-bono lawyer and she told me they can help me but not on the court date coming up. i dont think i will have a problem, the paternal grandmother has nothing against me.
(why would they close a thread??)

I have not looked at your other thread in its' entirety, but who filed for the emergency hearing?

(why would they close a thread??)
Because the moderator felt the threat has run its' course and nothing else was coming of it.

i filed for it because the grandmother refuses to let me see my son and i havent seen him for three weeks

Well if there is a court order for visitation and the grandmother has refused visitation, then all you need to do is bring proof that she's denied visitation (the more detailed -- sans irrelevant emotions -- the better). You don't need an attorney for this.

I really hope you are not asking the same stuff you did in the other thread.
