Hi
This lady is in her 60s. She has one daughter (the mother of my g/son) and one son. She is addicted to pain meds, has been for a long time. Her husband is dead, her son founded his business on drug money and her daughter (my g/sons mother) is a bit of a loser, her mother kicked her out of the house when she was 15.
All of her friends have abandoned her because of her erratic behaviour. Her son has two boys that she is not allowed to drive around anywhere, she is not allowed to be on her own with them. I think because her daughter gave her free reign with my grandson that she decided that she could make a better job of bringing him up than she had with her own 2.
I feel sorry for her, once this little boy is back home, she will probably not get to see him again. Restraining orders are being filed for both their homes and the school. It is a sad situation. Karma as they say though has a way of coming back and biting you in the ass. You get back what you put out, she deserves it, she is not a nice person, thinks because she has loadsa dosh that she can do what she likes, she is not used to being told no. She is dealing with the wrong person though, I would sell everything I have to get him back where he belongs.
She is being informed today that she must be in court tomorrow, I would love to be a fly on the wall when she is told.

Just heard from my son in Philly, we won. My grandson will be picked up this evening at 7pm to go home with his parents. It was a done deal as soon as they got into court apparently. The judge presiding was the judge who gave this woman the temp custody order and she admitted she was wrong. Great, thousands of dollars spent on lawyers because some idiot did the wrong thing. Oh well, will deal with getting that lot back later. The grandmother had my grandson registered and attending school in Jersey
He missed his first day of school last week in Philly, so his first day will be tomorrow. I know he is going to freak when he sees his parents, he must have been wondering what was going on. Then the g/mother had the nerve to ask them if she could come and pick him up on Sunday afternoon.:curse:
You can imagine what she was told. Apparently she is entitled to some visitation but they are going to make it so that someone is there with her so she cannot do this again.
So good news all round. If anyone wants a good family lawyer in Philly, call Susan Goldsman, 215 496 9546, she is kick ass and she also has a license to work in Jersey as well.
Thanks everyone, it is good to know that there were some good people out there wishing us well, it has been a traumatic 2 weeks.

Congratulations. I'm glad it's all worked you for. Common sense prevailed!

excellent news!

On what grounds, I wonder, is someone's grandmother entitled to visitation?

Just curious ...

CaliforniaBride

I was under the impression that grandparents did not have automatic rights or leave to exercise any entitlement. Something to do with a Supreme Court decision.

In PA and Jersey I think there is a law saying that grandparents can petition for visitation from the courts. I am not sure what other states do this. I read a story once of how grandparents did this and when their grandson turned 18, he turned up on their doorstep and said he was never coming to see them again, that they had ruined his life. He was made to go and stay with them during the summer hols for 4 weeks every year from the time he was young. He said that he just wanted to stay home and play with his friends but was never allowed to, sad.

Those must have been miserable grandparents - seeing your grandparents for 4 weeks/year doesn't seem like it should ruin your life. I wish I'd had that opportunity.

So glad to see that everything worked out for the OP!!

Fantastic news effi! That woman must be mentally impaired, to ask to pick him up again later that week. What a bloody cheek!
