Custody agreement done
In my neighbor's custody case, mom, dad, and grandma have all signed an agreed order giving custody to grandma and arranging for the minimal child support that is all the unemployed mom and dad can afford. Dad's auxiliary disability benefits for his daughter have been duly transferred to grandma. Dad continues to show signs of good faith in reconciling with his alarmed daughter, and she's very willing to try, as well, as long as he's not threatening to remove her from grandma's home. I can't say enough good things about grandma's family lawyer, who was worth every penny.The granddaughter turned 14 a few weeks ago. In four years, she'll be past even the threat of this kind of thing.

It's a perilous time in the lives of many youth, sometimes because of themselves and sometimes for reasons not at all their fault. I'm glad it worked out. You did well.
Terrific news. Lots of kudos to you, as well as that lawyer, for your efforts on this.

Yes. good work! How nice to hear!
Good work, and also good that the father came to his senses.

My limited experience is that the granddaughter is at the age where courts increasingly respect her wishes. Not always, but when she is 16 she will likely have the primary vote unless her own behavior is out of control.
