2 weeks ago I heard my grandmother talking to my 8 year old's aunt (father's side) about her custody. My grandmother assured her that she will not let me have the kid and will testify against me for abandonment if needed.
I'm still at lost to find out that my own grandmother would do this to me.
I don't know where to begin so I'll just tell you whatever situation I'm at.
My daughter's surname is under her dad. Her dad has gotten married last year and they already have a 3-year-old daughter. I also got married this year to the father of my 3 kids.
My 8 year old's father and I separated because I found out about his girlfriend (now his wife). I decided to move out of their house to find a job. I brought my daughter to my grandmother because I will be staying at an apartment near my workplace and I am not confident about getting a helper and leaving my kid alone with a helper. Every weekend I would go to my grandma's house to bring supplies for my kid and pay for the helper.
I met someone (now my husband) who offered his place to me and my kid, he has a wonderful family, so I felt confident about living with my kid with him. After I was able to save some more I took my kid back.
After a few months, my dad texted me that my grandmother is sick and that she misses my daughter very much. He asked us if we can just live where grandma lives instead. And so we did. It's been 5 years now.
I have no problems with her father as they send her 3 thousand pesos per month thru my grandma. She handles her expenses.
All these years I thought she was doing it because she just loves her. So I am really shocked to find out what they've been planning to do.
I did not abandon her, I asked for her help to take care of her when I had to work. But now I have a work from home job that can suffice for all my kid's needs so does my husband. I want to move out now with my kids after finding out about it. Can I even do that? Do I still have the right to? Can my grandma stop me from taking my kid? Please, I'm really afraid of not seeing my kids grow together. Thank you in advance.
