  1. everything seems to be going well.. however now its come time to actually do paperwork and im loooking at this application.. I really think i want to talk to a lawyer. Everything so far is going well on the expectations side.. but now that its getting to brass tacks.. She is IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of, which is INFURIATING. I think she still thinks im not gonna push for hte estate part of this. (i think she gets social security? Im not sure)
  2. Considering they are being limited by a number of batteries attainable and them trying to finish the gigabyte factory.. its gonna be a slowe delivery. I saw on news the otehr day they have over 400K deposits currently.. and only about 100K batteries available.. (musk said so as much himself) that list is gonna be slow filled
  3. So another question. I told her what the schools said. She mentioned us getting a lawyer then to start things. So the question I have now is.. do I need a lawyer where she lives or where we live? (She's in Montgomery county) Does it matter since this is a mutual agreement? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. ohhhh This might be ideal! What a great idea. Yah i went to talk to the school today and they basicly put a big "NO" stamp on non custodial enrollment. Said its state law.
  5. Wont lie, im sure she has good intentions.. but i dont think it will happen that way.. but i have been wrong about all of this up to this point reguarding my aunts behavior.
  6. yah, they had to have officers available to help with the complainers. it was a little ridiculous.
  7. She receives benefits for the girl, that she says will go into a college fund for her. I do think that this may be part of it.
  8. Does residential custody mean she is living with us or does it mean legal custody? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Today went so well.. I am still in shock. However the only hangup is she doesn't want to give up custody. Can a legal guardian grant guardianship to someone else? She wants her to come live with us, she wants her ina better school system and she admitted today she just isn't enough anymore and says we are good role models for her in life. It was a moderately emotional day but very positive. I just don't know how to handle the schooling situation. From what I have read, I need custody to get her into Hilliard schools Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I am doing what due diligence I can to be prepared but am expecting some sort of passive aggressive move on her part Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. So in a completely unexpected turn of events - my aunt wants to talk to me tomorrow (supposedly) about me taking her to live with us.. unprompted from me- but prompted from the neice. I have no idea what to expext tomorrow when I see her Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Im bumping this thread because half the dogs posted here are still available. Molly and CC have gone to a Nursing home to spend out their final years as resident dogs. (they are loving it there, everyone is their speed!) Newt was adopted by his foster mom who fell in love with him, and Kai is now living with LEO!!!! (BlueJackets anthem singer) Truman is a truly wonderful dog. he loves to be by your side and loves the dog park. He's a great companion. Myla is an energetic big girl and loves her foster siblings (fur and human alike) Willie Nelson is a handsome gentleman whom i finally got to meet as he is finally in a foster home here in Columbus. He's a boy who will need reassurance and introduced slowly to his environments. (allowed to sniff things out.. he doesn't like being touched on his head.. we think he may have been hit a lot on his head. Willie is a favorite among the boarding house he was at, and his foster is getting to know him and loves him too.
  13. I have no issue with my aunt wanting to do things with her and hell i would even encourage frequent visits. She has had her since she was born basiclly. This possibility has been mentioned to her, and she knows im open to it. She has asked if I would be her guardian if anything happened to her, but AFAIK she never filed that paperwork. She is a bitter angry sad woman. She is a ridiculously smart woman (serious, super IQ) who is dumber than a box of rocks socially. I will not bring her to my home without all the proper paperwork in place, as far as her care. That is the whole reason I feel I should be moving forward with the concerns I have.
  14. That's reassuring I'm 99% certain she is legal guardian. The two weeks was wonderful but I had to take her back. So involve an attorney before I call CPS? I don't want to rip them apart. I would love if I could logically speak to my aunt about all this but she is incapable of that kind of conversation. I would be using CPS as a means to prove to HER that she needs help, something no one else in our family (namely my dad) has not been able to convince her of. Again she is incapable of talking about this with anyone and only sees these conversations as attacks. It is definitely unfit living situations. Anything else that the child has discussed has been mostly normal teenage stuff. Indont know how I missed this post. So much to respond to... I'll start by saying, I love this woman. I do. She has just let things get out of her control. I don't want to hurt her but it's going to happen - whether she comes to live with me or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I think I will be looking for a family lawyer to talk to for this. Question- if my aunt is willingly giving us guardianship- will that make things go easier? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. She is 13. I don't see my aunt making this easy. She has already secluded them from the family. My dad is the closest to her and one of the few people she "let's in". I wish there was an easy way to do this. Somehow she has been removed from Medicare/aid because my aunt makes too much money from SS? I don't fully understand how this has happened but there is definitly something not right going on here. I think my aunt had a Gerber policy on the mom, but I have no idea if any of that is still in effect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I have a situation that Im not sure how to approach and have lots of questions to ask before i even consider how to handle any of this. It's a bit of a drawn out story, so bear with me. My aunt adopted my cousin when we were all about 3-4 years old. She was a troubled child most of her life due to sexual abuse (edit for clarification, she was sexually abused by foster familys, not my aunt) and my aunt just generally not being a good parent (none of the family expected how bad she would be prior to adoption) My sister and my cousin and I were basically sisters most of our lives. We went everywhere together. I tried everything i could to be a good role model for her.. but I failed. Her poor mind and heart were just so broken from her early life. fast forward to my mid 20's when my cousin passes away from alcohol and medication interaction, leaving behind a 3 year old (whom my aunt has basically had legal guardianship of since birth and who this all will be about) and twin daughters whom are adopted by a family in the church she occasionally attended when she would try to get sober. When she passed away, everyone wanted Nathan and I to adopt the girls, but Nathan didn't want to fight the battle of custody with the dad because he was abusive and crazy (my cousins live in boyfriend and dad of all the kids).. The tragic irony of this being dad died of drugs and alcohol maybe a year later. Lots of regret and pain in my heart about the whole situation. Fast forward another 10 years.. We have watched my aunt get worse as a parent to my cousin daughter, whom she is the legal guardian of. I dont want to go into details, just know its enough that has had me on the fence about calling CPS multiple times, but more afraid that we would lose the girl to the system because none of us are actually blood. (i will henceforth call her my niece, it's just easier because it's weird calling her my second cousin) My aunt tells us all the time about how shes always having outburst and is snotty, and other things but anytime she stays with us, this is the absolutely not the truth. She's a normal kid. She does everything we say, she's respectful (mostly) she does chores, she walks the dogs, she grumbles about brushing her teeth. She's a kid. Things at her home are deteriorating; to the point that my dad has finally agreed its time for CPS to be called. I have had her for two weeks now, long enough to know what exactly she is like on a normal day to day basis. My aunt has asked Myself and Nathan if anything were to happen to her if we would take her in. We told her yes. The thing is.. I think we should take her sooner. My aunt is 67. Her house is in shambles (like almost literally) It is not an environment that a child should be in. So here are my questions. 1)Can legal custody be awarded willingly to another Legal guardian without much fuss? 2) As legal guardians, can the child be put on our insurance? 3) Can we Adopt, instead of guardianship? Im so overwhelmed with how to handle this, and i know i need to talk to legal counsel about any of this before preceeding, but id like to iron out my thoughts before moving forward.
  18. This is actually why we started shopping. We know the truck can easily pull something bigger, but we dont want to go TOO big, but i think something bigger than the teardrop may be ideal for us.
  19. I like this style of the T@B's however, we cant use that. We need the extra room to make the bed queen size because you lose all the headspace witht he kitchen on the outside.
  20. Haydocy on Broad! They were FANTASTIC!! A weekend rental for the T@B was $435, + a 500 deposit. We loved the tab, but nathan is 6'3" and the peeing sitting down thing isn not his style :gabe:\ Thank you everyone! Your points have been great. Nathans parents lived in a HUGE beautiful Winnebago for years as they were ohio snowbirds. They offered it to us about 3 years ago when they finally just built a unit in the campground they stayed at every year. Nathan turned them down.... Needless to say.. i wanted to shoot him. He brought it up the other day like "HAHAH.. remember when my parents offered the camper and i said no??.. that was stupid of me wasnt it.. " Me::fuuuu: Anyways.. The T@B seems so ideal for us.. and they have a version that is a Bit bigger, that might be perfect for us.. Weight wise they are pretty fantastic for weight. We have the big V8 in the truck and it was basically no issue whatsoever to haul it. Landwise- we don't have anyh, however, where my dad lives, we can easily store it at his house. (we may even share it with him)
  21. I grew up camping, my sister and I slept ina tent many nights in our backyard.. I love camping. I married a man who firmly believes we have zero reason to sleep in the wilderness under fabric. A few weeks ago I finally convinced him to go camping with our subie friends. While I love him dearly and know he said he would go sleep in a tent to appease me, he would, unbeknownst to himself, be a miserable cuss the whole time. I made the executive decision to look for a small camper for us to tow and sleep in. We rented a T@B for 400 for the weekend and took it camping and then up to Norwalk for summer NATs HE LOVED IT. I've never seen him sleep so relaxed and I think it was because of the wilderness. Before we even left norwalk he was shopping for campers. Nathan does NOT shop for ANYTHING unless it's a car or car parts. We went last weekend to Watkins glen for six hours and found that the entire track is a a camp ground and you can't just setup a popup near the track and walk around This forced us to basically hoodf it all over looking for an ideal location or sit in the hot bleachers. We walked among so many campers and RVs... and now I think we have more questions about what we want and what we can expect as owners. 1) what do you own and where do you store it. 2) how much is typical storage? 3) what are features that you never use vs use all the time? 4)is it like owning a boat where the only good boat is someone else's? 5) what is depreciation like? 6)what are typical problems that happen? We really like the idea of a track camper. Something we can pull with the RAM, and park while we go out and about sight seeing or putter around the track(s) However the idea of a full RV could allow us to get a golf cart, for big tracks, but won't allow us to have have a small vehicle with us unless we tow one... but would also allow us to bring the dogs with us.
