Combine all that with the fact the mother states she signed something she had no idea what it was. Can we say incompetant, poor judgements, instability, etc?

The mediator drew up the papers, was a witness to everything and got both parties to sign to what THEY agreed to in the sessions, right? What exactly did she not realize she was agreeing to?

Unfortunately, I know first hand that what they agree to in mediation doesn't hold water if they back out. Ex did that too. Mediation agreement isn't legally binding until signed off by the judge, I believe.

You could have the atty question the sudden change of heart and why she feels that what she originally agreed to and the children have been accustomed to for the last 5+ months should suddenly be changed.

Have the children had problems? Have the children been doing better/worse, indifferent?

Best interests to the children is to maximize their time spent with both parents. That's the best interest.

It appears to be a 50/50 JOINT PHYSICAL CUSTODIAL order.

Father's Issues / RE: Devil's Advocate

How extremely sad for all those kids to live through all of that for the profit of an organization proclaiming to help kids. I wonder how much therapy these kids will need to undo the false memories. Makes you wonder how many men and women went to prison because they didn't have an attorney as swift as this one was to uncover the truth.

Wow.

I don't know if it's too late now or not, but you need to have SS make a police report against mom for the assault and battery. Hitting, shoving and emotionally abusing a kid is not just child abuse.

We punish our 15 year old for his misbehaviors, bad grades, etc by removing his belongings. It's the ONLY thing that gets his attention. So there may be more to that story than he's telling. Is it possible he became aggressive over his belongings? Not saying he's in the wrong and deserves to be hit, just saying he may have initiated some of the situation that occured. Mom should know better than to hit her kid, call names, etc  and son should not try to fight mom for stuff.

I'll tell you they will say mom had every right to remove anything in the house she pleases, as she is the adult. As for the assault, it should have been reported immediately.

You can't control what other do, you can only control what you do. Be the best parent you can be to your son. That's what you need to continue doing. Can you take him to counseling on the ONE day a week you have him?

Your little boy is crying out for attention and he needs to let an impartial party get involved to help him sort out his feelings.

Good luck.

Yes remove personal info first.

You would need a Florida attorney, because the child is within their jurisdiction. Also, I am unsure on Florida's laws, but the man listed as her father who has been acting as father may have legal rights and responsibilities as her father.

Quit sending money directly to her, it's considered a 'gift'. The state can come after you for child support, if they wanted to, dating back to her birth(at least in Va they can).

Speak with an experienced attorney in the county she lives in and be sure they are versed in long distance custody/visitation issues.

Good luck!

What happens if the child does run away to a 'safe home'? (firestation, police, etc)

Can she record some of the abuse on her cell and take it to her teachers or send via email, text msg to you??

SOMEBODY has got to step in and help this child if she is begging for help like she is.

Another thought- can you record the conversations you have with her and take it to an attorney or DSS in YOUR area?

Always take a witness with you for exchanges. Always.

You'll need to hire an attorney!

He can request psychological testing, request her mental health records, etc. Get as many witnesses that will testitfy in court that she has witnessed her instability.

I would have called the law the minute she locked herself in the bathroom with my child and let them know she is unstable. But you can't change the past. Your attorney may be able to convince them that you were acting in your child's interests by keeping her from injuring him and in the process she was hurt. Don't try to do this alone.

Write to socrateaser and ask for his guidance in the meantime. Follow his guidelines or he will not respond.
