My son is 5 years old, his father and i have never been married and have not been together in almost 3 years. For the last 3 years he has been in and out of my life romantically up until about 6 months ago, when he decided he wanted to actually settle down with someone. We went to family court in Febuary of 2010 and he was given every other weekend visitation with additional visits at the mothers descretion and ordered to pay child support. He wanted to start taking my son for tuesday and weds over night visits in addition to his every other weekends, which i let him do, up untill this year when my son started school. At that time i told him that i think it best for our son to stay home during the week when he has school, but he can take him during winter breaks, summer break, or any other day he is off of school. It just was messing with my little 5 year olds schedual to be bouncing 60 miles in between every sday when he has school. So he got angry with me for enfourcing that, he got VERY angry. So now i had CPS knocking on my door and and attorney sending me papers that my sons father is trying to take my son from me. I know i have not done anything bad and would NEVER hurt my child. He does have some behavioral issues that i am working with a counsler for, but other then that my son is well cared for and not hurt in any way. However, i am a single mom and only make 30,000 a year, my ex's new girlfriend won 1 million dollars in a car accedint and is the one living mith my ex and paying for this whole thing. that i belive is the only thing that they have over me is they have more money then i do. Do they have any other leg to stand on then just having more money then me to actually take my son from me?? I'm at a loss and compleatly shocked that this has come to this between us. I dont even know which way to turn, so here i am hoping for some advise.
