[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 648652, member: 18412"] Hubs and I filed for Guardianship of our 3-yr-old grandson. We're on the other side of the country but we were able to file an emergency petition and received emergency guardianship within a few hours of filing. Difficult Child was in detox and his dad lives far away and as far as we knew, had no contact and was not paying child support. Obviously neither of them were there. Two weeks later, there was another hearing for temporary guardianship. Neither parent showed up for that hearing either so the Court granted it. Now we're scheduled for a hearing in April for permanent guardianship. I'm sure neither parent will be there for that one, either. We told Difficult Child about it and she asked, " Do I need to be there?" Uh NO. She's shown no interest in getting him back and the only reason she would go would be to tell the Court we can have him. Welcome to the grandparents club. It's exhausting and exhilarating all at the same time! [/QUOTE]
