How I can go about getting more visitation/ custody of my daughter back.?

Question

Juleah has lived with her paternal grandmother for 6 yrs. and i see her mon. tue. wed. thurs. but have no over nights, she has a bedroom at my house, I also have 2 other children that are 5 and 4 months. Latley Juleah and her "nannie" are fighting, twice it has gotten physical-no evidence, however I do not think "nannie" is capable anymore of habndling Juleah, and I want to know my rights and what to do, please help.

Answer 1

contact a lawyer, you don't say why your not allowed to have over nights, is that by the courts or from the GP's? Your best bet would be to talk to a lawyer and see what you can do about it.

Answer 2

Go to court, prove you are fit, prove you can take care of her financially, and that you have enough room then you should have a pretty good bet.  Courts would rather children be with there natural parents if it is in the best interest of the child.  

Answer 3

You should consider talking w/ both parties yourself like an adult, dont come across as accusing anyone, you never know what, why, & how  w / out asking yourself. You dont want to demand that she come straight home either, then that will be another issue too as your daughter may not want to live w/ you like that. The reason i say talk to them first is because w/ you having other children in all, calling a lawyer will be spendy. Im sure you can do it w/ talking first to see what the real issue is at least. But if that doesnt work you would have to get a lawyer involved, unfortunately, i say unfortunatly because youll once again be in the system all over again.  You just dont want to risk loosing your other children, or getting into an altercation or anything harmful!! I mean your daughter's been there for 6yrs, thats a long time for a child. You will want to take this one to Jesus so that you can keep some type of peace and love in your heart during this most diffucult time in your life, it wont be easy but you gotta do something for all of your children's sake. Good Luck, i know you can do it, the first step was asking about it because i know you care for both her and the grandmother, The second one is what youre thinking right now!! God Bless!!
