My question involves a child custody case from the State of: NY
I'm trying to find out if as a step mother I can give any statement in court when it comes to my husband's custody case. He is agreeing in court to change his custody to having his daughter every other weekend from having temporary custody now while her mother is in jail. He has told the lawyer representing his child that he only wants her every other weekend and shared holidays but wants his daughter to finish out the school year in her current school (parents live in neighboring districts). I don't feel it's in the best interest of my step daughter to prolong a change that my husband is ultimately agreeing too. He is not the one who is ever caring for his daughter anyway, he just has his mother care for her all week. Does my opinion matter? Because he wants her to finish out the school year where she's at does he definitely get what he wants? I feel like he is trying to paint himself as more involved than he is, and his daughter's mother knows his lack of involvement. Am I able to have my opinion heard at all?
