I'm actually trying to help my mother in law out on this one.
Her grandaughter is my former step-daughter. My divorce was final today. Unfortunately nothing I did to try to help guide my step daughter helped. She is 17 and moved in with us just before her 16th birthday. Her mother was an unfortunate influence on her and nothing we did seemed to turn her around.
My mother in law has tried to help her since she was a baby but nothing she did seemed to help either. My mother in law is still my friend & will always be a part of my family. I am trying to help her out with this issue because she has serious heart issues and does not deal well with stressfull situations. I'm the one that had to call the police and have them go to the house because she was so shaken up she couldn't do it. We are trying to find out information regarding what will actually happen to my former step-daughter because of this. We are also trying to figure out how long it will take for things to start happening with the courts on this as well. My mother in law is dreading the thought of it taking something like 3-4 months before this goes before a judge.
Thanks
