My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Maine.... My son and daughter in law have always lived in my home grandmother and grandfather my granddaughter has lived her since she was born for 6 years .This august daughter in law moved out and a divorce is now being started. I grandmother have taken care of my granddaughter while mother works and will do so during the summer months when school is out.plus we watched her and raised her her more then either parent. which is fine. We both have a loving relationship with our grandaughter and she does with us..Her dad lives with us and will continue to. he is bipolar and has anxiety issues sees his doc monthly and takes his med so no problems...We have her every week end and one night after school ....It will be joint custody with her having physical custody..She lives nearby same town... In the visitation decree she is willing to have a clause or what ever it would be called that we grandparents have visitation rights. As her dad does also.We all live in the same house. So wondering if she can include our rights to have her visit as her dad lives here. We don't want it worded to sound like hes not fit due to his bipolar...Its a do it your self divorce and they are writing up their own parenting plan...How would this be worded? Any help would be much appreciated or any insight if she can include us in visitation? They are low income so can not afford a lawyer or even a mediator to help.Don't really need one..One more thing we are concerned about..her parents are divorced and they move often ..Now her dad is in Virginia for the past 2 years and now her mom is moving there also but not near the dad to be near her sister. daughter in law mentions I might want to move to Virginia...Because my parents are there..can she move out of state? can we have it in the divorce that she can not move grandaughter to Virginia they would not offer much help her parents..Plus they move often?Sorry for the long post just worried to death as we love this little girl as she does us..Her moving to Virginia also would not give her a better job as she only has a GED so jobs anyplace are limited...
