MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR 3 YRS.HE HAS A DAUGHTER FROM ANOTHER MARRIAGE. THE MOTHER HAS HER DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND WE HAVE HER IN THE SUMMER. THE ONLY THING IS THAT THE MOTHER DOES NOT KEEP HER IN THE SCHOOL YEAR, SHE LETS HER STAY WITH THE AUNT AND HER FAMILY. SHE DOES TAKE THE CHILD HOME WITH HER SOME. SELDOM. THE CHILD DID LIVE WITH AUNT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS IN WHICH DAD WAS VERY ACTIVE IN HER LIFE. MOM WAS NOT. SHE FELL OFF THE EARTH FOR ABOUT A YEAR. NOW MOM AND DAD HAVE SHARED CUSTODY BUT MOM LEAVES HER WITH THE AUNT DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. EVEN WHEN THE DAUGHTER HAD SURG, THE MOM STAYED WITH HER ALL DAY BUT TOOK HER TO THE AUNT'S HOUSE TO STAY THE NIGHT. IT'S LIKE SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE A FULL TIME MOM BUT SHE DOESN'T WANT THE DAD TO HAVE HER EITHER. DAD IS MORE THAN WILLING TO TAKE HIS LITTLE GIRL.I KNOW SHE LOVES HER AND ON THE WEEKENDS SHE DOES KEEP HER, BUT BEING A MOTHER IS NOT A PART TIME JOB (WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT) I KNOW I HAVE CHILDREN ALSO. I COULD NOT IMAGINE LETTING SOMEONE ELSE KEEP MY KIDS. SHOULDN'T THE DAD BE ABLE TO SAY, IF YOU DON'T WANT HER I DO!!! NOT SAYING MOM DOES NOT SEE HER JUST STATING THAT MOM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER CHILD OR LET THE DAD HAVE HER INSTEAD OF THE AUNT.IS THERE SOME KIND OF LAW FOR THIS? IF ONE OF THE PARENTS IS NOT WANTING THE CHILD DURING A CERTAIN TIME THE OTHER SHOULD GET HER?
