My question involves grandparents rights in the State of: PA
I will be as brief as possible/Thanks for any help possible
I am the grandmother of 2 grandchildren 4 and 5. 2 years ago my daughter died in an auto accident. Mother and Father (they were legally married) were in the beginnings of a child support issue with-in the courts just before her passing. She had full custody. I took up the remainder of the court issues and was awarded shared legal custody with liberal visitation rights for the children as I have been almost daily involved in the kiddos lives. At the time of death there were restraining orders in place for both mom and kiddos.
During these past 2 years I have made a very dedicated effort to embrace the father and invite him into our home as a son-in-law, holidays birthdays, bbqs etc. yet father has rarely participated we still attempt to extend the olive branch so that the kiddos hopefully have a sense of peace and stability between the 2 households.
This is the issue. Over the past 2 years father has had 6 different "relationships" with women that he brings into the home, the kids see sleeping with father and then poof they are gone. My husband and I have tried to explain to father that this is not good for the children to see over and over and that bonding issues are going to happen. We try to point out that everytime someone new comes in the children become clingy, cry often, and start to exhibit negative angry behavior patterns. The current GF he himself informed us was facing 2 DUI charges and just got out of rehab. He previously ended his relationship with her because she was taking naked photos of herself and sending them to other men. He has now resumed this relationship again.
Again the children are showing negative behavior.
Father recently sent me 22 text messages describing a sexual dream he had about me eeewww.
Father is a hard worker but holds an overnight job where the children are with me 5 to 6 nights a week. During the day father sleeps and requires the children to sleep as well. (I have asked him to leave the kids with me during the day and he refuses.) The 5 yr old makes food for her brother and tends to his needs as well as her own while dad sleeps in-between GF's. When he does have the GF's they tend to the kiddos during his sleeping time. Father also just informed me that he lost his driving license 6 years ago and is not eligible to get even a twilight license until the end of 2012 due to previous drinking issues. Must have been alot of drinking to loose a license for that many years I guess. Yet he still drives?
CAN I GET FULL PHYSICAL CUSTODY at the very least until the kiddos are in school all day? It is driving me crazy to see the affect this is having on these babies both now and possibly in the future.
