writes:I have had very controlling parents all of my life. I now have two children ages 10 and 15. In 2005 my children were attending a school that was in my parents school district. The principal found out and would not let my children go back to school until he had proof by the judge that my parents had full custody of my children. My parents told me that when we went to the lawyer to sign the papers that they meant nothing to us for me not to worry that they are not taking my children away. My children continued to live with me about 3 miles away from the school but was still not in the district. I met my husband which is a different nationality and I moved to the school district which my children go to. The problem is my parents now hold the papers against me and will not let my children live with me because of my husband. I desparatly want my children with me, by the way my parents only live 6 houses down from us. My kids are not allowed to spend the night with me if my husband is home. We are both responsible and we do not do any drugs. It is just because they do not like his nationality. Please write me back to maybe give me some advice on how to get my kids back.

 In the US, courts almost never remove the children from their mother's care except when she is found to be unfit. Since you are not an unfit mother get a lawyer and get them back. Of course you will have to explain why you gave up custody to begin with, which I think was a stupid mistake to begin with. Talk to a lawyer.

 I'd say you need to see a lawyer. I don't know what your relationship with them is but it sounds strange. If you were "just" making school arrangements when you did the custody transfer, why did they even mention anything about "not to worry they are not taking my children away" ?
If they were just doing you a favor, that should never have even come up. I feel like you've left out some important details.

I'd advise you go straight to see a solicitor and explain you werent fully aware of what you signed, I think this would be a enough ground to have a "tribunal" type thing and have all concerns and factors addressed properlyAlso how do your kids feel about this? if they are wanting to live with you and your new husband this would also count for alot in court.And lastly if it is especially important to you and your children that they attend this specific school, and your parents who live only 6 doors away and in a different distict would moving a short distance be out of the question?
