What responses does my husband need to file?
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My husband is currently going through a custody issue that has really turned into a huge mess overall, but the Grandparent's of his son have filed against his Father, the Mother (and her soon to be Ex-husband, whom they have another child with).
On approximately Aug 13, my husband was served with the following papers by the attorney of the Grandparents:
- Emergency Verified Motion for Child Pick-Up Order
- Verified Motion for Temporary Injunction to Prevent Removal of Minor Child
- Motion for Appointment of Guardian Ad Litem
- Motion for Eligibility to Order A Florida Birth Certificate
- Motion for Testimony and Attendance if Minor Child
- Amended Certificate of Service
On approximately Aug 18, he received the following court papers:
- Order Denying Petition for Grandparents Visitation
- Order Denying Petition for Temporary Injunction to Prevent Removal of Minor Child
- Order Denying Without Prejudice Motion for Testimony and Attendance of Minor Children
In short my his son lived with his Mother (approximately 8 hours away), who depended quite a bit on her parents to watch her children while she worked. In the end this turned out to be a big problem, as the Grandparents involved the children in religious practices against all of the parents wishes, and did not foster healthy relationships with their parents.
A month ago the Mother wanted try to get put her children into a better situation, so my husband's son moved in with us. This was quite upsetting to his Grandparents, and his son. The Grandparents are now claiming that my husband is not the Father (although paternity was established in 1995) and have made many false accusations against all of the parents.
My husband has had many talks with his son and while he does love his parents, he is terrified that if his Grandparents find out that he really does not want to follow their religion that he will be shunned, just as they have done with his Mother. He has an incredible amount of guilt for enjoying everyday teen activities because, most of them are forbidden the religion his Grandparents follow.
My husband knows that the Grandparents took care of his son quite a bit, but he very much believes that the relationship was not healthy for his son, and has been detrimental to the relationship he has not been able to have with his parents. My husband and his son's Mother do not want their son to have any further contact with his Grandparents (the Mother's parents). The Grandparents are also trying to say that the Mother is unfit, so they should get custody of both of the children.
There are many more issues going on here, but I am trying to keep this as short as possible.
As for the papers that have been filed against my husband, and the ones that the Judge has already ruled on, are there any papers he needs to file responses to?
How long does he have to file a response? I thought I had read 20 days somewhere, but now I cannot find where I read that.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
