My husband's daughter died 4 years ago in a car crash. She had two children, her son (10 )went to his father and eventually her daughter (4 1/2) went with her father.(different dads) After 1 year of living with her father and 3 different girlfriends- each time changing schools, my husband and I took her as her father didn't want her. That was 3 ayears ago and we have not heard from him in 1 1/2 years. He has not made any effort to provide for his daughter.
We understand that parents have total rights over grandparents, but we are looking for some help here. Our whole life has changed as my husband was due to retire this year.
We have 3 older sons, 44,43 and 38 and 3 adopted daughters, 22,21 and 21. We were so looking forward to retirement but cannot now.
Does anyone have any idea how to find a good lawyer to help us. He doesn't want her but doesn't want us to have custody (he will loose alot of money -in his eyes- if we got custody) We are in Connecticut
