Hello
Well there are lots of long stories and ill try to make it short.
I had a very nasty divorce and custody trial. I got full custody after 5 years. then 2 years later my oldest turned 12 and bf took me back to court for custody of him not our daughter 7 at time. judge said he was tired of seeing us and either we make the decision or he would and i wouldnt like it, so oldest went to live with father at 2 years ago. now father drug habits are at there worst, he has no home and took sons cell have phone logs calls are all day and night. son has been expelled from school for 80 days for weapons in backpack that father claims he put there. i wasnt told he was getting expelled nor had been suspended found out on accident. when i went to prelimanary hearing at juvenile court father sent him home with me (i live 3 hrs away from father) he had no job and hasnt for long time and just now got one thanks to his father and lives in there other home rent free. now the trial date for juvenile case is coming and child support arreages court date is coming also. i have tried everything from going to school here and columbus calling emailing trying to get help with getting him other schooling. and speaking with lawyer for juvenile case and gal for custody case. gal for custody case states cant do anything. my son is having to ask grandmother for food to take home, $ for dad. i feel if i try to get custody from speaking with attys and experience he'll be 18 can anyone help
son is 16 taking care of home and borrowing food & $$$ from grandmother, he is too concerned w/ caring for his father to be concerned w/ caring for himself
how do u get temp physocal custody because taking bf back to court will take till son is 18 if they would get it ordered what can i do?????? :confused:

Holy crap, batman! You have to find some way to get the kid out of there. I couldn't track everything you said in your post, but why couldn't a lawyer help you? I mean, if you have information like the kid has been expelled and the father has known drug addictions, I guess I don't understand why the judge is being a hard-a$$? Is there some reason the kid shouldn't live with you? What is your history?
If this were my son, I'd stop at nothing to get him back on track.
I hope someone here has good legal (or other) advice for you!

I had sole custody, but once son reched 12 bf took me back to court again wanting sole custody then shared custody, the judge said they were tired of seeing us, for us to make a decision or he would and neither would like it. so since son wanted so badly to go, (did things to trying to get moved thru court) so instead of my son hating me I gave him the chance he wanted to live with his dad, which at the time bf was working which was a rarity. and I hoped for the best for our son, but it has proven to been the wrong choice because now he has learned things about drugs and the streets I didn't want him to experience. like being left outside drug house while bf is in house getting messed up. when i called gal said i needed proof. son will not tell judge about these crazy incidents but daughter would. I have son now just not legal physical custody. I'm hoping when we go to juvenile court that will start or cause them to give back custody to me of son still have daughter. my atty for custody case no longer works as domestic atty but for a city office and because of sons age said quickest would be juvenile court to assign physical custody. hoping some one can help

What about calling social services on him? Id hate to see your son in the "system" but you'd think theyd place your son with you instead. I hate courts.. are you afraid to go back to court because the judge said hes tired of hearing from you?
Isnt your son old enough to decide for himself where he wants to live? I thought at 12 years old, kids can decide in court? Or does your son not want to say this in fear of hurting his father?
Your son cant just "live" with you even tho dad has custody..
This is why people grab their kids and run, do you really think he'd come after you with all the problems he has? You said you have your son now, so why dont you just leave it at that? Why do you NEED to get custody? Is dad really going to come around knocking for his son when he cant get his own act together?
Where does your son fall into all of this? Where does he want to live now?
Sorry you are going through this, hang in there//
