My son is on the verge of a divorce but he's afraid that he won't get custody of his daughter (4 years old).
His wife doesn't have any family in the US, she's from outside of the country. She's very close to her family in her native country...even sending them close to 20k over the past 2 years that my son knows of and who knows how much behind his back. Her mother at one time told her to just leave the US without the child to come back and live with them if she's unhappy.
My son, his wife and daughter have been living with us for the past 3 years. We pretty much take care of our granddaughter as my son and his wife work 6 days out of the week. We love our granddaughter and are afraid that we might lose her.
Could we use "flight risk" as one of the reasons why my son should be able to keep the child?
Thanks for you help.
