[QUOTE="30 and searching, post: 235236, member: 6367"] If you don't mind me asking, why did your brother file for custody? It is so hurtful, and frustrating when other family members think they can do a better job raising your children than, you, the parent. When things come down to crisis situations, this is the last thing we need. The thing about my son's grandmother, although she does love him, is that she never questions anything from the school. She just accepts everything they say and suggest. She also lets him eat anything he wants, and a lot of unhealthy stuff, and junk food. He is very overweight right now, andf this was another one of our concerns with- having him live there, which we voiced in court. The judge laughed and said, "Every grandma spoils their grandchildren." He is now 6foot 2, and extremely overweight, SW has warned them about letting him eat everything he wants, but honestly I don't think they're as concerned as we are. I do pay child support now. I have no problem doing this, I realize I am legally obligated to do so. The one thing that upsets me about it though, is that I was a single mom with- my son from birth, and I had a child support court order for his bio father. The payments he made were slim to none. He owes over $30,000 in back support, which I will probably never see. If I ever fall behind on a payment, which rarely happens, I am threatened to be put in jail! I think there needs to be some major changes to our system! We do not have a lot of money, live paycheck to paycheck, and I am still paying for lawyer fees, from when this all went down. It sounds like you are doing everything you can to try and get your son some help. The PO sounds like a real piece of work. Our kids need all the help and services they can get, I wish and hope that our legal system will begin to start realizing this. I wish you the best of luck.:happy: Peace and Love- Sarah [/QUOTE]
