Q: An amendum was made to a grant of legal custody of my 9 year old daughter is not being honored.
An amendment was made to a grant of legal custody of my 9 yr old daughter. after a case brought on by their son was dismissed, his parents filed 4 custody. they threatened to disconnect me from my daughter for months, among other things. My attorney at the time wrote up an agreement and she said it was worded as such so I could regain custody. It stated if I demonstrated no less than one yr of sobriety with proof of testing + upon agreement with g-parents I could modify and or terminate the legal custody agreement. We all agreed. I completed the requirements and the grandparents agreed through actions +words to give custody back for an entire year. I was parenting my daughter full time n just b4going to court they isolated me from my daughter n went back on their words. I have trial March4 . I'm bein told there is nothin I can do. There's other things going on 2 the g-parents are getting away with.
A: Based on your description, it sounds like you will have to take the case to trial. Hopefully you've retained counsel who will able to assist you in collecting documents that will help you tell your story and line up the witnesses who created these documents so they may be properly admitted.
