What is the name of your state? Maine
im going to make this long story short. My husband and I have been fighting custody for his 8 year old daughter since january of 2006. The thing is we are not fighting against daughters mother (she doesnt want custody) but fighting hubbys mother who has guardianship. SD was appointed a GAL last year and GAL recommended SD come to live with us. Hubbys mother then filed papers that my 10 year old son was a threat to step daughter because of a sexual incident. Wasnt even a sexaul incident, what happened was son and another boy messed around on the bus where the 1st boy pulled his pants down and then dared my son to do it, where my son litterally got caught with his pants down. I immediatly set up a meeting with the school and my hubby, myself, the other boys parents, techer, principle and bus aid all met to discuss the issue. other boy admitted to daring son to do it and that they both did it, both boys got consequences from there actions (suspension for 3 days). I also called the state and had an evaluation done. no harm done they said no problem with my son. End of story case closed to dhhs. I thought. until she brought it up in court. so then we had lady from DHHS go to court for us, confirmed everything was alright. But judge ordered phyc eval. on son and on step daughter. Everything came back great on sons eval. Doctor said no reason for there not to be a family reunification if so is ordered. where as SD evaluator said that SD should stay with her grandmother and feels that the grandmother can protect SD from sexual abuse even though she is in denial that she let it happen to her son . I feel that it was not the Doctors job to determin where SD should live, that is the GAL's job. And The GAL has said that because of the allowed Sexual abuse and the denial on grandmothers part, puts stepdaughter at risk.
Can we get the doctors reccomendation thrown out where she recommended where SD lives?
