My 3 yr old boy stays with his grandparents and his mom gave full costody to her mom but it's only by letter not notirized or legal document. I asked the grandparents if he can go to pre-school because i want him to get an education. They said yes but i ask myself why should i pay child support if my son is going to stay with me for 2yrs? I'm know that if i get a letter from the grandma stating that he stays with me for 2yrs child support will stop now i'm afraid that if i tell her she won't let my son go to school. please help!!!! I know that the money they get from child support they use it on their bills. My son is in good health an all but he doesn't have a lot of clothes or toys or even have any savings for his colloge. I know they should keep some of the money for rent and food but not to buy jewelery for them or cell phones or things for their children. shouldn't the money go to my son? If i take half custody do i still pay child support?contact me@ ricardorodriguez@tmail.com

You should ask them if you guys can share custody. If they agree, share custody with them, if they don't, you have to decide if you're willing to fight for him to live with you because that's essentailyl the can of worms you are opening. If you are ready for that, then hire a lwyer and take them to court and fight for you child. Make sure that you have a good home, and a stable job, ability to take care of him, and a plan for what your life together will be like, and a good lawyer. If you want this for you child, fight for it. Don't make it all about money, because it's not. If you offer to half the cost of child support for half the time he'll be with you, that might be your best deal. Otherwise, fight or leave it alone.

honestly the mother had no right giving "custody" to her mother. As long as you are a good role model and fit father the court system will grant you full custody, and stop child support. She CANNOT keep you from your son. A DNA test may have to be submitted to prove you are the father, but you have proof that his mother does not want him, and you do want him. No judge is going to keep him from you. If you get joint custody and he lives with you half time and them half time there is NO childsuppot.
see a lawyer about filing the papers, you can check the YELLOW pages in your phone book for affordable ones... also check online for filing the papers yourself.
Goodluck. Your son is lucky to have a father who loves him and cares about his future!

You need to get an attorney. He is your son, not the grandparents. You have parental rights also. Obviously, mom doesn't want the responsibility of the child . Why else would she sign him over to his grandparents to raise?
My son has custody of his son. Long story. His ex wife tried to give the child to her parents while we were in court. Our attorney stopped that dead in it's tracks. He reminded the Judge that the child had a father that wanted him.
Good Luck.

Talk to a lawyer. When it comes to your son you don't want to take any chances.
Good Luck
