What is the name of your state? AL
My husband and his ex are going back to court this June. This will be the 5th time, I think, in three years. Anyway, she is in contempt for a lot of things and my husband asked for a Guardian Ad Litem, which we paid for, and that has really upset her. She is remarried, and has two children with the new husband. My step daughter is 12, and told her mom and step dad that she wants to come and live with us after the school year ends. Her step dad told her that "she would never see her little brother and sister again because they are HIS children and he will not let her be a part of their lives." Her mother told her that since I don't have custody of my sons, I am unfit. When I got divorced, my ex and I agreed that he would have custody of our sons and I had custody of our daughter.
Anyway, I said all that to give you background for my questions:
1. My ex has volunteered to testify in June as to the reasons my sons live with him. Is that acceptable, or do you think it would be a bad idea?
2. Just supposing that my step daughter does come to live with us, can her step father really not let her see her little brother and sister? Can her mother be ordered to allow her to see her siblings?
3. My husband has my step daughter for the summer, however his ex just informed him that she has signed the child up for softball this summer and that we "would be expected to travel to MS (where they live) every other weekend so that the child can play because she has already paid the joining fee." WE already registered her and prepaid for her to attend day camp here. What do we do?
