Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My mother had temporary custody of my daughter when she was 6 months old due top PPD. This was only so she could take Essie to the doctor bc I was so depressed I wouldn't even get ready or work or go to school. I never neglected my child or left her. Infact Essie has lived me kind of like joint custody for 4 years. The first two I even lived with my mom and Essie up under the same roof. She is now 6 years old. My mother lives in Georgia and we live in Florida. Essie, my daughter is enrolled in a Florida Charter school. My mother will not sign custody back over as a control factor. What should I do considering she lives with me anyways? I have taken her to court and she pulled a child molestation case on me that was not true just to keep Essie. Needless to say I lost and was the one who went after her. This is a traumatizing situation for both my daughter and myself. It took me over a year just to get her in my care again by the good graces I put on for my mom and Essie wanting her mom. I'm worried at any time my mom will try to take her away from me.
