Toccoa, GA asked in Family Law for Georgia

Q: Can my 14 year old daughter, with my permission, stay with her grandmother for the summer when my ex-wife doesn't agree?

We have shared custody, but she lives with me full-time and only sees her mother every other weekend. Mother is bi-polar and very controlling. Daughter loves my mother and wants to spend more time with her.

A: You will need to refer to your custody order to see what it says regarding restrictions. The summer is a long time. Even if she can, the mother being able to see her every other weekend would still need to be honored so you are not in contempt.
