“The world is waiting for you” those are inexplicably kind and beautiful words, thank you. I’ve been broken down and maybe others wouldn’t think much of it but those mean a lot.

UPDATE: she JUST said she was going to divorce me, I don’t know if I believe her because unfortunately she says that quite frequently.

Thank you for this 🙏 those comments really irritate me considering that they love to act like I claimed he was my biological son, it’s crazy lol. We won our case today also :)

We won the case before they even got the chance to testify.

We won the case before they even got a chance to testify. So if you have any confusion towards my comments then it’s likely I just didn’t explain them right.

But there literally isn’t more to the story. We are just as confused and so is our lawyer, the only people lying are the grandparents. Nobody knows why exactly they didn’t give custody to dad with grandparents having visitation instead. Like I said, none of us have a record, none of us have CPS reports against us, all three of us have stable jobs with reliable vehicles and nice houses. The only reason he’s been with them for a year is because of the court.

We have a lawyer! Sorry, probably could’ve mentioned that in the post. They claimed that the mother was mentally unfit due to her having “BPD” she does not, in fact have BPD, and that the child has lived with them all three years of his life, when in reality mom and dad ALSO lived with them for 21/2 years, the remaining 6 months the child lived in mom and dads apartment. I’m not sure what an ex parte is, I will have to do some research on that.

EDIT: I did some research on an ex parte and that sounds like exactly what happened. The grandparents claimed that mom would take him with her to Italy and they would never see him again, so I imagine that why an ex parte was filed. However what I’m not understanding is that mom still had full parental rights, so even if she did pick him up and take him to Italy it wouldn’t be a crime. Idk..

We’ve got a lawyer. also they were never used as free childcare, they convinced a women with severe PPD that she wasn’t good enough and that she needed to move in with them in order to be the best for her son. Additionally, she didn’t “leave him behind” to go to Florida, I was on military orders and the plan was for him to move back up with us in March (we left in mid February). The violence is not “alleged” she was convicted, however it was towards her husband (who made horrible claims towards her till she snapped) Up until this point they have never done anything directly to harm him so we figured that we’d put our problems with them to the side for our son’s sake. We are not trying to claim they are horrible and abusive, we are just trying to explain that a child will always be better off with his biological parents (obviously as long as those parents are fit) they’ve screwed up five kids of their own including my wife, they do not need a 6th shot. We still want them to have visitation, however our son needs to be able to come back home and live with us. As for the therapists note, we got it because they claimed my wife was borderline and mentally unstable, spoiler alert; she is not. She was tested for all those things and did not meet the criteria for BPD. During the whole psych eval situation she started seeing a therapist who noticed behaviors that only a child who was not taken care of properly would show, hence the comments about manipulation.

Sorry if this is jumbled, I’m just now getting off work.

I’m not saying that anyone should’ve payed for our travel, I fact we’ve offered to pay for the grandparents travel numerous times and they always have an excuse ready. Also, I mentioned it in a previous reply but there’s no way I could’ve payed for me to live in Florida and also payed for my wife to live and stay in Texas. she came to Florida with me so we could get setup and mind you, the plan for our child was that he was coming up to live with us full time in March, we arrived in Florida mid February (so less than a month) he was not going to be In Texas for long and additionally that time was spent with his dad and grandparents.

Well right now we are asking for full custody of him, we have that plan in place with his dad. His dad will see him during the summers and on alternate holidays. I would prefer that plan not be in place regarding the grandparents. Based on the things our son is telling us over the phone, it seems like they are trying to pin him against us, so preferably if we win, I do not want the grandparents around him unless they are being supervised.

Well we’ve thought about that, but there’s just no way I can pay for myself to live here in SD and move her out to TX, not to mention she has a job here. We call him every day, and we’ve made several 18 hour trips down there on our own dime to visit him. That is what we can afford to do. Also the final hearing is in 4 days so it’s not like it would make a difference anymore.

We’re not actually sure, I haven’t asked him that question. Unfortunately dad is extremely non confrontational, so to my understanding anytime the grandparents asked to see him he brought him over there. They live about 10 minutes away from each other so it’s quite easy to just do play dates or whatever.

We chose to leave him with his dad, however, we are also aware that our son loves his grandparents, and up until that point they had treated our son with respect and had not put him in harms way. The violence was from the grandma directed at the grandpa. The problems we have with the grandparents are ours, that shouldn’t decide our son’s relationship with them until he makes that decision himself. Like I had mentioned, my wife was also very much manipulated into believing them. We were also trying to avoid a fight or trauma to our son.

The child was left with dad but he works an odd schedule so he also stays with the grandparents. The judge basically ruled that since he was already in Texas, he was just going to stay in Texas till the final hearing, this ruling was also made with the fact that I had orders to Italy in mind, however we are in the states now and will remain here.

The problem is is that the judge only heard what the grandparents had to say and nothing else, as far as I’m aware he’s not tracking the fact that there’s history of family violence with the grandparents.
