My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Georgia
My husband has 2 children from his first marriage. A girl that is now 11 and a boy that is 12.
Their divorce and the time since have been very bitter and there has been 4 court cases regarding the children.
The last court case was up in court almost a year ago but no ruling has been made yet. In that court case my husband was asking for joint custody and a reduction of his child support. There has been several times when she would not let him see the children on his visitations until he called the local sheriff.
The son has slowly been deteriorating in school and going from getting A's and B's to getting F-C. He was also kicked of the schools football team due to his behavior.
Two weeks ago the mother of the children called up and said she cannot handle the son anymore and she wants him to move out.
My husband picked him up from school that day and he has been living with us since then.
We did contact the lawyer involved in the court case straight away to deal with this new and much unexpected situation. Unfortunately it has now been two weeks and nothing has happened. The mother has legal custody of both children and my husband has to pay her child support for both children.
My question is:
What do we need to do to change the legal custodian for the child who is now living with us?
What will happen to the child support payed to the mother for the child whilst he was actually living with us?
What will happen to the pending court case when the mother voluntarily has given up custody of one of the children?
I would be very thankful for any replies.
