What is the name of your state? parents live in Kentucky
My mother & father are married 60 years. Live in rural Ky. Dad is on respirator, can't drive, but sharp mind. Mother has had small strokes, becoming senile for some time now. My goldigger sister suddenly moves in from out of state, to "take care of mom & dad". Tries to get money from dad, he tells her no way, big fight. Sister moves out to apartment, just across the river in the state of Indiana. So, one day, while my mom is in the hospital in another town, my sister hijacks her, checks her out against Dr.'s orders. She takes mom to Indiana where she lives, and checks her into a home 2 blocks from her. Dad didn't know where she was! Sister soon convinces mom to give her power of attorney; then to DIVORCE dad! Meanwhile, the home mom is in is poor quality, she fell & broke her hip, losing weight.
Dad has asked courts for a competancy hearing, trying to get mom away from my sister, and charge her with elder abuse. I am certain mom will fail a competancy hearing; she goes in & out of lucidity. Is my dad on the right path? Does he stand a chance of getting his wife back at home?
