My son has a baby momma, assuming that the baby is his. She is still married but has been separated for awhile. Dana is approximately 32 weeks pregnant and at 31 weeks she still hasnt went for her first ob appt. She has two children already (both of whom I love dearly and not allowed to see). My son and Dana are not getting along. She won't return my calls or texts. Pending a DNA test at birth, what are my rights as a grandmother? Thank you so much for your help. Hi.

The former wife said they were not mentioned in the will. Since this man was suffering from dementia for the past 4 or 5 years it, his wife has not let the children see the will or that of his mother in which the present wife claims that the grandchildren were not mentioned. In past wills that we have seen some of his estate and that of his mother also included these six children. He had no children from the present marriage. His wife had 2 which he never adopted. Is there anyway for my children to legally claim part of his estate. he died 2 years ago this May. Thank you if you can answer any of these questions,. He lived and died in Kentucky.

]]> Comment on Voluntary versus Involuntary Termination of Parental Rights by Patti http://lexingtonlawyer.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/voluntary-versus-involuntary-termination-of-parental-rights/#comment-2069 Patti Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:15:32 +0000 http://lexingtonlawyer.wordpress.com/?p=84#comment-2069 My husband's ex-girlfriend receives almost $20,000 a year tax-free in support of their 6 yr old daughter, yet the mother has been arrested numerous times for violent assaults; has failed her drug tests; has been committed 6 times for psychiatric reasons; and has had another child (2) removed permanently for neglect. My husband and I are frustrated because we started full custody proceedings (after the mother consistently failed to show for visitation) and we repeatedly told social services that the mother was cohabiting with a recently-released-from-prison drug dealer,and that my stepdaughter was not attending school. (She misses approximately 60% of her days by her mother hopping from one location to another - 3 schools in one month, recently). Social services keeps telling us that they are keeping an eye on her while our custody proceedings drag on (mother has not attended 2 court dates since May, 2009, with no bench warrants issued) and they eventually lost my step-daughter. She hasn't been seen alive by ANYONE since October 14 and so we finally complained to the state commissioner's officer for social services; the next day we were assigned a court date (Nov. 17), but now social services says that since they can't locate the mother, the state may opt to just terminate the case since they think the mother took my husband's little girl out of state. What I want to know is: a) Since the mother has been, and still is, recieving $1500 a month in support administered through the state child support and also through my husband's disability (he is a 100% combat-disabled US Marine), aren't they responsible for helping us to find this little girl? b) Isn't somebody responsible for the fact that no one has taken the mother before a judge for the child missing so much school? We have complained numerous times, by phone, in person, and in writing, about her missing so much school. KY law says that after 3 days a worker is supposed to contact the mother and after 6 days, court action may be taken. The mother gets all of her money electronically and then debits it from various locations, so we have asked that they require her to produce our step-daughter in person to make sure she is okay, but they have not done so. My husband and I are career professionals, own a nice clean home, have no drug/arrest issues, etc. and we can't understand why the KY Cabinet is not taking more action to help our step-daughter when we are doing everything we can. The mother showed no apparent effort to get off of drugs after her 2 yr old (by another man) was removed, and our step-daughter moves every few months, plus does not keep the child in school, so we feel that the mother's parental rights should be terminated under KY law. Can anybody out there offer suggestions? We have hired 2 lawyers and so far we haven't gotten our court date because of the mother constantly being on the run. She was served properly last May, so we feel it is HER fault she misses court dates, and that this child should not suffer because the mother refuses to cooperate. Thank you.

However, many people can not do it, because they do not know how, and no one taught them how. Very unfortunate. I love the way you explain it. Very detailed and easy to understand. But, what if less than three years? What to do? Do you have to wait until more than three years?

]]> Comment on Primary Residential Custodian: A misnomer by Charles Kincaid http://lexingtonlawyer.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/primary-residential-custodian-a-misnomer/#comment-2066 Charles Kincaid Sun, 01 Nov 2009 05:21:26 +0000 http://lexingtonlawyer.wordpress.com/2007/08/16/primary-residential-custodian-a-misnomer/#comment-2066 I have been divorced for seven years to the day from my children' mother. Over the past seven years, she has continued to harass me throught the Court System due to her inability to let go. This type of childish activity is due partly to the dysfunction that plagues her gene pool. Incest in her family and multiple marriages concerning her mother has caused her to be a sour woman consumed by hatred. My ex-wife, is bitter, and attempts to keep the kids from me and my wife. Shes mentally unstable and finds stability in chaos, in court. Money has always been the driving factor with her. Sad as it seems, she never grew up. Her mindset is, "If I buy you something you have to love me". What escapes her is that the kids love her because she is their mother. The practical part of life would be for her to get on with her life and stop spinning her wheels because I have moved on. Stop clogging up the court system with scattered thought and empty arguments. She has cost,she and I thousands of dollars by standing in front of the Bench. She is not capable of understanding that travel to and from the Court room is an added expense as well. No one ever wins in custody cases as far s I am concerned. One thing is for sure, the past seven years of walking into the Court Room with her hair brained schemes has never won her any respect from the Judicial System. I have gone to court and I have walked out with my head held high,while she has gone out stunned and slightly confused because she "lost again". She is a small miserable person not worthy of my time.
