Hire a family lawyer and attack their claim of standing as custodians!!
answered on Dec 24, 2020
Unless the child has lived at least 6 months with them continuously, they do not have standing to seek custody; therefore you are now the sole custodian.
And what right do the have as 16 year old adoptees

Neither side has any rights. They were terminated. You may want to wait until they are 18 and legal adults. Then you can contact them and seek a relationship.

First, he needs to get an ID. He can’t go anywhere or do anything without an ZiD. Second, if he has not been adjudicated incompetent (disabled), then he can go snd do as he pleases once he turns 18. Finally, once the forgoing issues are resolved, when he turns 18 you can come get him and take... View More

In Kentucky there is a presumption that both parents should see the children 50% of the time and both parents should have joint custody and decision-making. That presumption can be overcome if one of the parties has problems like using drugs or it is not in the best interest of the children to see... View More

You can get a change of venue or judge, but you can make a motion to reduce your support payment based on a change of circumstances.

Permanent custody of my daughter was awarded to her father's brother 9/15/20. I am being denied visitation with my child. As her mother am I not entitled to visitation?
answered on Nov 2, 2020
You may be entitled to visitation depending on the reason for losing custody. You will want to start with reading the judgment giving your brother in law custody to see if it gives you visitation, if not you may need to ask an attorney for help seeking visitation.
I’ve ran away several times from here. I always get brought back... I’m tired of living this way and my mother wants to get a good lawyer to make sure I can go with her!? She can pass a drug test my grandparents cannot.

I get custody of him
answered on Oct 17, 2020
Possibly, but Many more facts are needed to evaluate and answer this question.
I have never been notified about this child and she says the child wants to meet me. I don’t believe it’s mine and my life is going great I don’t want to start now taking care of a 14 year old. Am I obligated to do anything. Will the court let me go or will I have some type of responsibility?... View More
answered on Oct 17, 2020
You don’t have any responsibility nor do you need to do anything until or unless you are served with a paternity complaint.
So, someone I know, he doesn’t like where he is at right now because of neglect. He is with his grandparents that were granted full custody over 10 years ago. He wants to go back with his mother, and the grand parents won’t let it happen, will the court give custody to the mother?
