what if he signed his legal rights over to her? Is that possible?

Yes it is legal for him to sign legal rights over to her but I was under the impression that the physical custodian had to agree to it as well, if you didn't sign papers to that effect you need to consult a lawyer.

This is something that a court has to decide.
There are law firms that give free phone advice, but I'm pretty sure that even if you weren't married that you have to go to court in any case to rearrange legal guardianship of your children.
Frankly, I've never heard of guardianship changing to some other woman than is completely non-related to you or your children.
If he doesn't want it, then perhaps you should be the only guardian?

I never heard of that it looks like if they have physical placement with you. That should mean you are the legal guardian. I don't know how he did that but than again I'm not a lawyer. I would try to talk to a lawyer and see what you can do, or how that was even done. Didn't you get served some papers or something.

Not a legal expert, but I would think he couldn't do that unless you signed over your rights or were stripped of them by the court. I'd get a lawyer to be sure.

Well, obviously the first thing you need to do is get a lawyer. And I mean a good one, you are going to need it. Your DV arrest will look bad, and you will need as many people to testify on your behalf as you can get, including your counselor . Its good that you are keeping a journal, but outside validation would help. The testimony of a friend who has seen this behavior from her (not picking them up) would be helpful. Having said that, I don't know the details of your case. I sympathize because my son only gets to see his son on the weekends and... his ex-girlfriend also signed custody of their son over to her parents and then ran off to God-knows-where. But, he was never accused of domestic violence. Like I said, I don't know your situation. Good luck to you.

No, if you have joint custody he needs to go to court to modify the arrangment, in any case he can not do it without a court order and your knowledge of it.

It has already been done... at least in this state. Your best bet is to hire an attorney.
