My question involves personal property located in the State of: Michigan
My 17 year old daughter ran away. She had another woman seek guardianship. This was an over achiever A-type girl.
We gave her everything, had her in Girl Scouts (received her Gold Award), Civil Air Patrol (received her Amelia Earhart Award), 4H (Queen of the 4H Court) etc. She got a 31 on her ACT. We were strict as far as dating and going to parties.
We told her from birth that we did not have money to pay for her college. She applied to 15 or so colleges, was accepted by about 3. She applied and received some scholarships.
We had been having serious behavior issues with her for about 6 years and were in counseling. Ultimatley is was discovered she had Oppositional Deviance Disorder. The target was on me. If I said something was black (and it was actually black) she would argue it was white.
We have had to harassment complaints filed with the State police over her contacting us, making a Facebookpage and impersonating her sister, various emails, calls and texts. She was ordered by the Trooper and the Asst Prosecutor not to contact us.
About 6 months after she ran away, which we reported but due to her age we couldn't get her back, she had this woman who made about 1/3 of what my husband made apply to court for guardianship. We fought it but she won.
Now she is threatening court for personal possessions she left behind when she ran away. We had given her about 6 large boxes of clothes after the guardianship was granted to this other woman.
She sent us a certified list of everything she wanted which was basically everything we had given her, other people had given her, things she had bought, family photos, trophies, awards etc for the previous 17 years.
My opinion shes not getting all of it. We have made an effort to get her yearbooks, trophies, awards, her personal scrapbooks etc and have boxed it up, after photographing and inventoring it. I have no doubt this will not be good enough as she will continue to haunt us till she is satisfied.
The question: Do we have to give her every single thing from her 17 years in our household.
