My situation is kind of different. DH got fouled over in the divorce and she got physical residencial custody, but it was NEVER written that way in the decree.

Parenting Time wasnt even established until over 1 yr after the divorce (seperated in 96, divorced in 98). Oh but you can bet c.s. was established immediately.

Anyway, over the course of the 6 yrs since, My SS has been mentally, emotionally, physically and verbally abused by his ** and her DH. Not that it did us any good, because CPS would never follow up, and when they did, she blamed it on us.

May 2002 she started denying visits against the court order, but it wasnt until August of 02 that she had us served trying to get supervised visits btwn SS and DH. We counter-sued for custody as part of court sanctions for her contempt. We would have got custody too, had it not been for the district change.

Transitional visits started June 03 and continued til Dec 03.

We had SS for New Years (2004) vacation, and after he went back to **'s house, he took a steak knife and said that he would hurt himself if he couldnt go back to his dad's house.

Then last month, she said that she didnt want to live with him anymore, and signed a paper stating such. She said she wanted us to have temporary custody with permanent custody after 6 months.

At the beginning of this month, she took him for a visit and 2 hrs later he was back over here with her saying she wanted to terminate her rights.

Now she is trying to force a relationship between her son with her new husband and SS, when SS doesnt want that relationship. She is trying to force her family into our lives stating that she is not terminating thier rights and she wants to be able to have one last family picture and be able to send pictures to him over the years.

This is such a headache.

I just noticed that the abbreviation for Bio Mom has been asterixed out. So where you see **, thats Bio Mom.

Wow...you got a real gem of a bio-mom, didn't you?? Guess the good thing is that she's signing the papers. The bad thing that I'm sure you know is that the poor kid isn't going to be unscathed after all this. He's been from extreme to extreme and finally dumped because he wasn't good enough. Ouch! You've got your work cut out for you, and Thank God you're there for him!

So did she actually sign consent and relinquishment forms?
