[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 710221, member: 17244"] We're going through some of the same stuff, have a hearing for temporary guardianship of 3 year old grandson next Wed. Daughter signed a form saying she agrees with it, "father" is likely to contest it. As to your situation, do what's right for you and for your granddaughter. If you have legal protection for your status, I'd think long and hard before I gave it up. Your daughter wants to have custody of the child but have you take care of it? That gives her a lot of leverage over you (let me and my new boyfriend move in, or I'm taking daughter and we'll live in a motel) with your granddaughter a potential pawn in whatever schemes she comes up with. It sounds like your granddaughter is where she needs to be right now. Your daughter chose to get involved in a criminal lifestyle. You didn't choose it. Your granddaughter didn't choose it. She's got a lot of work to do before she'll be in a position to be a full time responsible mother. [/QUOTE]
