Custody battle :(

**YankeeMom** · 01-12-2011, 10:35 AM

A couple of updates....

~Sister has still not called her son since 12/21/10
~heard through facebook & other family members she has changed her cell phone # twice since new year's day.
~she finally sent me her new phone # thru facebook this morning...only because she wanted to ask me if I had filed paperwork for child support for my nephew (no we haven't and won't be)
~the "friend" that is fighting me for custody..the one with a sex offender for a husband, who's living on social services, lives nasty, and has a record with the court (for what I don't know yet)...has filed paperwork against my sister for child support for my nephew. She doesn't even have custody of him and she's filing for child support?! How can she do that? Anyway, the court date for that according to my sister is 1/18. I meet w/ my lawyer on 1/14 and I'll be letting him know what this "friend" is up to. She's a scammer of the system big time. The only reason she wanted my nephew from the beginning was for the extra food stamps/welfare (and obviously child support).

My sister can't even support the three kids she still has with her. There's no way she's going to be able to afford child support for my nephew. I have no intention of filing for it. It would just be taking away from my other three nephews.

My nephew's school has dug up the records on his addresses over the last year and a half. This "friend" is claiming my nephew has lived with her since August 2009 but the records from the school indicate otherwise

The school has also offered to write letters or whatever we need for court. I plan on asking the same of nephew's pediatrician when we go see him tomorrow afternoon.

Two more weeks until court....

WOW! this is an unbelievable story!

I can see this friend as a scammer for sure and had no intentions of nurturing this young boy into a a productive adult.

I am so happy that someone YM stepped up to the plate. This child will be forever grateful to you. Trust me on this one.

Can we pass the hat around for YM?
