Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois

my ex husband and I agreed by notarized letter to allow our son to live with his grandparents for a term of 9 months (a school year) and then he was to be returned. Now my husband and I are divorcing and he is in another state, my son is still in IL with his grandparents but they will not allow me (mother) to see him or talk to him. I have 2 other children who are with me now that belong to my husband but he and his parents are now trying to lie and say untrue and detrimental things about me in court that they can not prove. How can I get custody of my son back. The grandmother filed for and received temporary guardianship of him without proving I was unfit or deceased.

1 Answer from Attorneys

You say you are divorcing. Do you have an attorney or is this a do-it-yourself situation. If you have an attorney we can not interfere and you need to get your attorney to deal with the situation, or hire another attorney. If you do not have an attorney and you are looking for free legal advice in this kind of forum for this kind of complicated legal matter that involves YOUR CHILDREN, I have only three words of advice: HIRE AN ATTORNEY.

The response given is not intended to create, nor does it create an ongoing duty to respond to questions. The response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor is it intended to be anything other than the educated opinion of the author. It should not be relied upon as legal advice. The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change. Attorney is licensed to practice law only in the State of Illinois. Responses are based solely on Illinois law unless stated otherwise.
