| First of all, is the notorized lettered signed by her. If that's the case and the police happen to show up at your home, you should show them this letter. I doubt they will do anything about. Especially, if the child is 16 years old. He's old enough to make a conscious decision to not go with her and I don't believe the police will force him. Although, you may need to call legal counsel first thing in the morning to inquire. If she signed off all parental rights, she has no rights to see him if he chooses not too. Perhaps, you can call the non-emergency police number to ask them what they do in a something like this. They may say the mother has to take the matter up in court. Also, try calling the Department of Child and Family Services to ask them what you could do. Personally, if I had the notorized letter, I would let her try it and explain the situation to the officer with your letter in hand and the 16 year old present. They may ask the 16 year old directly if he wants to go with his mom. Have him eplain to the officer that she stopped seeing him two years ago and he doesn't want anything to do with her. What ever you do, don't say any nasty things or getting physical with her. If she starts ranting and raving, the police will be there to make her stop. Don't let her get the best you all!! Perhaps she will try but remain calm and keep your composure. I know in my case which was a few years back, I chose to live with my step-dad when my biological mother tried to get custody of me. I ended up having to speak with a judge, who determined that I was very independent and was making a mature decision. This may become the same case. I hope this information helps you and I hope things will go your way. Goodluck and please keep us posted. ↑ |
| I wouldn't think so. He is plenty old enough to say if he wants to go or not and if he really doesn't then i don't think any police officer is going to force him into it. do you have the paper where she willingly gave up parental rights? Show it to the police if they come. Once she gave up rights on paper didn't you go to court and have it finalized? You should have! But still at 16 I doubt they can make him go anyway. What's her reasoning for wanting them back in her life now? Those kids shouldn't give her the time of day,she tossed them like trash when she didn't want them,they owe her nothing! Don't allow them to go if it's not what they want,in fact i would do everything to DIScourage it!!!! ↑ |
| All you have to do is break out the notorized letter she gave to your husband. Plus, I know in my state all you have to do is have your child go to the judge and tell them that they do not want to go visit the other parent and if the judge deems the child "mature" enough to make that decision, then they grant the request. So good luck!:) ↑ |
