Grandmother getting between mother and baby custody
Me and my husband just separated a few days ago and I moved in with friends of ours about 2 hours away. We have a 21 month old son. And we (me and my husband) decided that our son would rotate who he is staying with like every few weeks or something of that nature. Before I moved we were living with his mother. She seemed to have no problem with the arrangement even though it's really not her place to say anything. Now that I have moved we were planning for my son to come here and stay with me for a week. Now his mother is saying she won't let MY son stay here. Now I am living in a very nice apartment with good people and a good neighborhood. There is no drug use or alcohol at all and nobody has a criminal record. His mother is threatening to get a lawyer to say that my son cannot stay with me. I believe her argument will be that she has supported him a lot i.e. we were all living with her since he was born however it was me and his father that actually provided the care she provided the house and bought a lot of things for him. Also a year ago my parental rights came into question after I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and hospitalized but nothing was ever filed with the courts and nothing really done I was just told I couldn't live with him and then several months later we talked to children services and they said it was fine for me to come back because there was no reason for me not to be with my son so I believe she will try to use that against me as well. By the way we live in Florida. My question is do I have anything to worry about? Does she have any possible way to challenge my custody? Also a little more to the story, I have had no problems whatsoever for the past year as to my mental health and would have no problem if I was ordered a psychological exam. Please help! What do I need to be doing? Do I need a lawyer? Thanks!
