About honestholly
Hi everyone! I just want to say a few things that I feel are important for you to know. First of all, my life's passion has always been to help others and when I found Advicenators I felt drawn to see if I could help here. I have been in alot of different "shoes", so to speak,and not always comfortable ones! I will not give advice on things I have no clue about and I will be honest. I've tried very hard all my life not to be one of those people that say they know how you feel when they've never been in your situation.
I'm going to college in the spring and I'm going to be working towards a bachelors degree in psychology.

My 14 yr old stepson moved in with us in November 2007 due to safety issues by CPS. He had major anger issues and behavior problems.He has Aspergers Syndrome. I have asked him if he would want to visit his mom and siblings for spring break and he said no. My question is should I ask his mom to sign over full custody to us since we are still paying her child support and unfortunately she rarely calls him.
Atleast we would be able to live our lives and not have her tell my husband that she can pick him up at any time since she still has custody. He has changed dramatically and is doing a 100% better.
I would definitely seek the advice of an attorney on this. It seems to me that you and your husband have very good grounds for seeking full custody. That is awesome that the boy has made great improvements since moving in with you...it shows that whatever you're doing or have done for him is definitely what he needs. To send him back to live with her would most likely cause a relapse. Alot of lawyers will give you the first consultation with them free of charge so that's definitely what I would do! Kudos to you for being such a caring and wonderful step-parent!!
