.....................? Here is the story...................
A son has a history of crimes, like driving without a license, on more than one occasion. In fact, its like four or five times. Those actions warrant incarceration in prison for the offenses.
So last year upon his release, he got his girlfriend pregnant.
Then drove again and was imprisoned for a further 9 months.
His girlfriend, went through the pregnancy alone, as her parents are non existant. She has also been unemployed most of her life.
The son gets released from prison 6 days after the girlfriend has the baby.
One month later he is caught driving without a license again by police , and is thrown back in prison again for another 9 months.
So its suffice to say, its a pattern of behaviour in the son, that he is constantly going to be imprisoned on and off his whole life. His parents have been through all the emotions, anger , disgust, disgruntled, deflated, confident, then deflated again.
Do you as a grandparent, at the age of 55, try and sue for custody of the grandchild. Knowing full well the mother is also a no hoper, and the son a life long on and off offender.
At the same time, also knowing if you get custody, when the child is in its teens or even late teens. Your close to heart attack age, blood pressure problems etc .
There are no other people, available to take care of the child, other than loving grandparents who are of age, and the offending adult children.
Do you sue for custody, or do you wait and see how it plays out over the years, with the son going in and out of jail, with no respect for the law, and his girlfriend who clearly is lazy , and happy to be unemployed, no motivation.?
