The only court order in place is the CS order. He has not seen the kids in about 3 years due to interference by the BM. She goes through phases where she will allow contact/visits and then refuses again for long periods of time. From what BM posted on Facebook, she plans to get her own place and get the kids back, but she has these 3, plus 3 more with the SF, so a total of 6 kids. That many kids and a limited income may make it harder to find a place that is adequate for all of them.


From what we have been told, the youngest doesn't even know that SIL is his father. We have found out that there was at least one incident of abuse by BM that CPS got involved in and threatened to take the kids from her, but she managed to keep them, that was a couple of years ago.


SIL has never really had a stable situation till now. Working for minimum wage makes it really hard to afford an attorney, but now he has DH and I to help also since he and ODD live with us.


We did find an attorney that looks like they may be reasonable for him to work with, so he is going to call her tomorrow.

Hey everyone! It has been a really long time since I was here, but I find that we need your help again. My ODD married about a year and a half ago and her DH has 3 children from a previous marriage. The BM and kids live in SD, we are now in MI.


We found out a couple of weeks ago that BM and her DH had split up, but today we find out that she has left SIL's kids with her soon to be ex while she is in a hotel. This man has already tried to convince SIL to sign off on the kids so he can adopt them, but of course SIL said no.


We don't have much money, can't afford a lawyer at the moment, and I am not sure how to proceed. It would be nice if we could file with the court here, but I doubt we can do that. Any help would be appreciated.

Spinner, my ex and I did this and all I did was go to the CSE and tell them that due to the fact that we had agreed, I wanted to terminate the child support. As long as noone is on any kind of social services benefits like food stamps or medicaid, they don't have much choice in the matter. They will try to talk her out of it, but it can be done.

For us, it was simply signing a piece of paper in their office and they filed it in our record at the court house.

Good luck!

That is what we thought. Can they still use the amount he recieves to calculate his CS?

Thanks again!!

Okay, I guess I wasn't clear in what we are asking. :D

Since the money he recieves is VA Disability, Can CSE legally do a wage withholding on it?

That is what they are threatening to do, at the amount SHE claims is the correct amount. There is no arrears due to there having been NO order for CS ever! My friend paid for 5 years, just because he wanted to make sure he was covering his backside with the judge.

Our understanding of the VA is that it cannot be touched because of the way the law about it is written.

Thanks again,

I am asking this for a friend who is a 100% disabled vetran. His ex wife has used his disablilities to prevent him from seeing his children for the past 7 years, claiming to the judge that my friend is 'crazy' and will hurt the kids just to get back at her.

My friend paid CS faithfully for 5 years without a court order until the last ruling from the judge 2 years ago. When he recieved that order, he stopped sending the CS due to be so hurt and frustrated with the system.

His X has now filed for CS and wants to take about half of his disability pay each month for the three kids.He has no problems paying CS, he just wants to be able to see his kids.

Our question is, can CSE legally attatch that money since it is the only income he has?

Thanks,

No, this is not PAS. I have seen some of the reports and talked to the child myself and I know that she is telling the truth.

DH and I have known for a while that something was not right in that house and we fully believe the girl and her mother.

Also, this is a step father that did this, not her bio dad. It would not make any sense to alienate him from the girl as he has done that all along with the way he treats her and talks to her.

My oldest daughter's best friend called this morning to talk to Amber. When I checked the caller ID it said Safe Haven of ******.

I talked to Ayesha for a minute and asked her if everything was okay, and she just said that they had left her step dad. I told her that Amber had wanted her to come over today and spend the night so she could go to church with us tomorrow and she said she didn't think she was allowed.

I asked to talk to her mom and that is when I got the details. Apparently the husband molested Ayesha. From what Amber says, it happened about 9 months ago. She finally told and her mom ran with Ayesha and her 2 year old sister to the local shelter.

Her mom is going to bring Ayesha and the baby over here for a little while today so that she can go get the rest of their things from the house.

The husband was arrested and his parents paid his $100,000 bond to get him out, so I told her to contact the Sheriff's department and get an escort. I knew for a while that this guy was verbally and emotionally abusive, but had no idea things had gotten this far. It really scares me because Amber has spent time over there in that time period.

Please just keep this family in your prayers. I have the feeling that they will need all they can get.

Thanks,

I am asking for your prayers for our family. My mother's dad passed away on Sunday afternoon and my sister's baby is in the hospital. Grandpa had been in the hospital for about a week and a half and the baby has been there for 5 days now.

The baby has Kawasaki disease. My son Brandon, had it when he was 2 and was in the hospital for 3 days. It is a pretty scary disease, but thankfully, they usually do recover from it and rarely have to deal with it again.

Please just keep us in your prayers. It has been a stressful couple of weeks for us.
