Wassup Bgol Fam,


I'm currently going to have a Hearing set for June 9th about my daughter. As many before me, I'm paying child support and then on top of that, i earn too much to have a court appointed lawyer, so i'm sort of handicapped (meaning, i'm at a disadvantage) and i pretty much to represent myself. Which brings me here.....

Some quick background deets: My daughters mother has custody and my visitation is 2 days every week including overnights. So basically, she stays with me on my days off. No police reports, no domestic incidents etc. Pretty clean cut.

So basically, my daughters mother is now married. Her husband is in the air force and stations in Georgia. Soooo........she's seeking a modification to the visitation order. Pretty much asking to move down south. Naturally, i'm not ok with this.

My question is, what can i expect at this hearing? From my understanding, the burden of having to "convince" the judge why our daughter would be better off down in Georgia is on my daughters mother.

So what do i do? For example, i thought of looking up how schools here in NY compare to those in GA. Problem is, i have no idea where to look to find that type information.

I've thought of looking up the HIV risk and show how you're at a higher risk in GA than you are in NY to become exposed to the disease. Again, not sure where i would look to find that info either

And lastly, while we were dating some years back she ended up marrying a "friend" in the military for the benefits. If anyone in the army is reading this, maybe you can confirm because i'm actually not sure what the benefits are. I imagine them to be something like, if you're married you receive more money in your pay. Also , you AND your spouse receive help towards college tuition. Stuff like that

so i'm strongly considering bringing this up saying she has a history of having a sham marriage just for the sake of the benefits and if that's the case, how can i trust her husband being under the same roof as my daughter, they're not married out of love.

The only thing about that is i wouldn't want to open up a whole new can of worms where she could be charged with something and possibly face any jail time.

Do you guys think i should look up at how many men and women that serve in the army come back home with some type of mental issues? To help my case

Anybody with any experience would be greatly appreciated guys......

well you can hire an investigator to look into the husbands background...

I feel ya, if I had a young daughter I would feel some type of way about her living with the next man not knowing anything about him...

a good lawyer may help you, but either way you gonna have to come out them pockets...

I know there is a lawyer up here from the atl,

and he maybe able to give you some leads..

the main thing is to tell your daughter you love her and make sure she knows she can talk to you about anything..

make sure she remembers your phone number and email address by heart..

Appreciate this Fam
 
My man... HIRE A LAWYER!! Step away from the emotion and look at the bigger picture. YOU DONT KNOW THE LAW. Most ppl on this board don't know shit about the law. All they got are these fuk up stories devoid of THE LAW! Hiring a lawyer is like hiring a great chef to prepare a meal for a special occasion. It will be worth it. You want someone who is familiar with the law and can apply the facts of your case to the relevant law and make a legal argument for your benefit. that's why you should hire a lawyer. Hire a lawyer and work out a payment plan. Trust me it will be the best damn thing you did for your daughter. Any half wit lawyer will tell you, emotional arguments don't mean shit in the court of law. You want a lawyer to make legal arguments on your behalf. By taking the time and talking with your lawyer about FACTS, they will determine what legal action is the best for your situation. Stay away from these fools here on BGOL if they are not recommending you to GO SEE A LAWYER.

My man, I read & re-read your post. Your speculating, assuming and straight up being emotional based off some unforeseen fear that may never come into existence. If you represent yourself and go into court with your current feelings, they are going to eat your ass up. HIRE A LAWYER so they can make LEGIT LEGAL ARGUMENTS on your behalf. I'm talking BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD FACTORS.I'm talking about FAMILY, COMMUNITY, FRIENDS OF YOUR DAUGHTER. I'm talking about how uprooting her to an unknown place with no family can be traumatic to her learning environment. I'm talking about the strength & history of ya'll relationship compared to her and her mother. I'm talking about how you been a positive stable role model in her life vice the soon to be husband who don't know your child. Man there is so much to work with, so hire a lawyer and get ready for the legal war. CHESS not checkers!!
