my step daughter is under the impression that when she turns 12 she's going to live with us. (her father and step mother) she now lives with her mother and step father and every time she visits she is always talking about moving in. is she assuming the right thing? is her father getting his hopes up for no reason? He wants to raise her but the judge gave his ex-wife sole custody and she uses it against him on a daily basis. until recently she refused to let him get the kids now she's signing them up for softball and t-ball and grips when he can't show up for a practice or game. (he is always working during these times) what rights does he have to take her to court? yes, he pays 0 a month in child support and this hasn't been modified to 5 children it has 3. (3 of the 5 children live with him.) he makes apporx. 2500 a month. Is this legal? please help me, I hate to see him get his hopes up for nothing!
