She would not be able to share custody or coparent with someone like that. Not this nutbar who has already shown she has no interest in sharing these kids with their own mother. And who has not had a security clearance with results shared. How can mummaa222 be expected to close her eyes and just move on? Given this I ask every mother on this board this question I know I could not and here I'm on this board complaining about a broken system that has taken the equity from my marriage and left both my ex spouse and I with nothing because the effen lawyers ate it all. But mummaa222 situation makes me put my situation in perspective. I've Lost my money but not my children. My heart breaks for her. We not talking about the family pets. These are children who at the least we need to hear from their own voice. This situation is not in the best interest of HER kids. She needs her day in court with a lawyer because it has now become so complicated. Let's not pour salt in her wound if you don't support her efforts. The fact that she is on this board seeking advice and you can tell by her posts she is in anguish over being kept away from HER kids is enough to know she deserves a fair chance in court. A working class family should not go bankrupt or lose custody because of a piece of crap system.
Anyone who thinks that children saying these things is normal needs just as much help as the people who put these things into my daughters' heads! Children don't hate naturally, hatred needs to be learned. Their father agreed that he would make sure their older brother would be in their lives, he never did. The relationship with their brother was ended as soon as he got custody. They refuse to speak to him as well. My son now has twin boys and my daughters have met them once, and when they did they had never even heard their nephews existed.
They were very close to my mother and father and now refuse to speak to them either. Same for the rest of my family. They insist they don't even know the name of or remember an aunt that they were very close to and who was at every birthday party I ever had for them (they haven't had a birthday party since he got custody).
I'm not fighting because I feel I have a right to my children. I'm fighting because I love my children, all 4 of them! I'm fighting because they are being emotional and mentally abused. I'm fighting because there is a whole family who loves them and my girls deserve to have that love in their lives. My girls have a right to love who they want...they have a right to have bonds with their siblings who they were once close to. I'm not trying to win a court case...I'm trying to do what is right for my children. If there was a valid reason for them to not ever want to see me, their siblings, their grandparents, extended family then I would have given up long ago...I wouldn't let them go through all this.
If there wasn't a part of me that truly believes they want me to keep fighting and that they're scared and that there's so much more going on than they feel they can say, then I would just stop. Who in their right mind would subject themselves to this kind of insanity and pain on purpose without an extremely good reason? I'm exhausted, physically, emotionally, mentally...but giving up on my children's happiness and safety is not an option. Our bond may have been bent but it can never be broken. I can see in their eyes that my babies are still in there and want to come out.

These are not her daughters, she is not relation to them, she is not even legally a step-mother. No one knows anything about her background except what she has said. When she tells people about her life before she met my ex she leaves out that she was living with another man and hid that from everyone including my ex. She leaves out that the man she was living with also had 2 daughters. She doesn't tell anyone that she walked out on that man and his 2 daughters after 6 years and didn't look back, didn't say one word to those 2 little girls, not even a goodbye. So what else is she not telling anyone? I would bet a lot of money that there are many, many skeletons in this woman's closet. A security clearance for a non-parent is the law, I believe?
Meh... I wouldn’t focus on a background check... unless she’s legally adopting them there is nothing saying they need a background check. When you send children to sleep overs do you request background checks, does your new husband have a background check? There are so many people the children are going to interact with that you won’t see a background check for. Who cares if she was with another man with children? Who cares if she doesn’t share that part of her story with people. She’s allowed to share her past as she sees fit. Maybe it wasn’t a healthy relationship? Do you understand how much your statement contradicts what you’re trying to do? You’re saying she walked out on those other kids, didn’t say two words to them and now you’re seeking to remove her from your children’s lives.
You need to stop putting your energy into her and her past. You need to be building your case around how you’re the bio parent and custody should go to you, you need to show how you’re prepared to care for your children. You saw a lawyer last week correct? How did that go?

I said from the beginning that I wanted to bring my girls to live with me gradually. That meant them living with her and making the transition. How do I do that with a woman who has threatened me, refused to look at me, let alone speak to me, in 9 years? I've tried having conversations with her and been polite with her and I've gotten back one word answers. I've had false accusations thrown at me left and right and guess who was the one to call cas each time? It was her! There are reports of her telling my girls way back in 2012 that I don't want them and I don't take care of them...and this is from the mouths of a 2 year old and 6 year old at the time.
I'd love to not be fighting against her for my girls and I'd love to not have to say anything bad about her just like I haven't done from the very beginning but I kind of have no choice now. My mother's instinct is telling me that something is horribly wrong and I'm sticking with that. I have evidence that my children have been severely alienated and I know their dad, even though he was either blind or allowed it, wasn't the "brains" behind it.
But again, here I am defending myself when all I've ever asked for on here is for advice...legal advice.
The only questions I have now are whether what was done on Friday was even allowed to be done? There IS an estate trustee and the rules say IF there is no estate trustee another person can apply to represent a party who dies. And is a non-parent allowed custody without a background check when there is a biological parent and many other biological relatives available.
This judge really just made my daughters orphans by taking away any access to their living mother right after their father died...and there was no reason for it other than for just over a month my daughters suddenly, without reason or explanation, stated that they don't want to see me. We had been bonding from February until July and then they went camping and came back and refused to see me or even my mother.
But ya...I'll just step back and not worry about it because their dad's girlfriend is just so wonderful.

I, honestly, would be very surprised if that happens though. All the signs point to her not being "okay".
I'm not perfect, far from it, but I'm honest and have never in my life purposely hurt another human being no matter how much I dislike them. I'm an empath and I feel for everyone...try as I may, I'm incapable of hate. Except for this woman, I can and do hate her and for someone like me that's huge...and it's exhausting.

I'm truly flabbergasted at how many of our members that have blindly jumped onto this sinking ship!
Doesn't anyone else see what I am seeing?
It's bloody obvious and painful reading some of these posts.
I feel like there are huge chunks missing to this story. What are you seeing?

No, I think I gave you too much already.
Unlike some people here, I'm not afflicted by judge worship. They can be easily fooled. If I tell you why you come off as unstable you can cover that up during your impending trial.
A security clearance for a non-parent is the law, I believe?

Exactly. We aren’t being told the whole story...the real story.
We’ve been told everything that's needed in order to have this forum rally behind her.
There’s reasons that the father got sole custody. There’s reasons why she moved hours away from the kids. There’s reason why the judge awarded the step mom temp custody. Theres reason why no visitation schedule was introduced during the temp custody situation. There’s reasons why no agencies found any proof of alienation. There’s reasons why the kids broke all contact with her.
We’re just not being told that part.
It seems that the judges, CAS, the father, the step mom, and the children might have the missing info though.Last edited by cashcow4ex; 10-08-2019, 09:14 AM.

My advice has been to involve children's services as it seems rather odd that step-mother (temporary or not) has kept children from the mother.
I am curious also, no mention of cause of death of father. Drug-related? Presumably he was a relatively young man?
There was heavy mention and denial of alcohol but I don't recall any mention of substance abuse. The two often go together.
I wonder if grand parents have contacted children services to try to see their grand children?
