How long is it likely to take a magistrate to make a decision about custody? The hearing was on the 19th and I've just spoken with his assistant who said she doesn't have anything yet.
I'm optimistic of the outcome but naturally nervous. My ex does not take care of our 12 year old. His 70+ year old grandmother and his mother do. His mother is capable, but I AM HER MOTHER. In fact her father has done everything possible without being in direct violation of court ordered agreement to keep me from beign involved in her daily life. SHE told teh magistrate that he forced her to drive his full-sized pick up on county roads adn that the only food in their home is what I have bought and sent for her. The list goes on and on to things he's either done, including attempting to have information from teh school kept from me.
I am anxious to get her out of there!
The judge even told her some of the things he makes her do are illegal!
How much longer is it likely to be before we hear anything?

betsy, I have been where you are at. I just wonder why she is there in the first place and how long she has been there...
I did get custody, I think it was about a week or two (long time ago),,,,,I think still today they do try to place with mother..even though they say they dont...just don''t do anything to mess up between now and then, or ever for that matter, you will always be under his eye, trust me, they just wait for you to mess up...good luck....I will keep my fingers crossed...

I think in my case it was about a month after the hearing that I got to get my children back. He may be checking out the facts before making a decision.
Hope it is soon and Good Luck.

from experience of 13 yrs. of custody battles, it seems that no matter what is going on, the judge will lean towards the person who already has custody. in az there is no time frame that they have to make a decision, it took 30 days for us. good luck!

He took them and left the state and its been 8 months since I have been able to hug or kiss my babies. I only get to speak to them on occasion once in a blue moon. This is craziness!!!!!
