Child care confusion...

Tweet

I have four children, one of whom does not live with me. MY daughter lives with a guardian at this current time. We are going back and forth with custody. MY concerns are great but one sticks out at this point. I live in Ohio where state certified child care is a big industry. The guardian (now temporary custodian) signed court papers stating that she babysits for my daughter and only my daughter. The state pays her about $120 a week on average in a monthly check. I looked into this and talked to my lawyer. I put it like this, " The state does not pay me to babysit my own children, so why does she get paid to babysit what the ohio state law says, her child?" By ohio law she is the "parent or guardian" of this child reguardless of biology. She now has temporary custody because we had the guardianship terminated. She went to child support in December, 06 and they granted her the request. When I did the digging in this case I found that she hand wrote a document that was submitted admitting that my child is her only child and that she gets paid to "sit for myself" for one child. Can someone help me out here? I have been fighting this woman for 9 years to get this child back and even though she has not proven me unfit, the courts are allowing her to use my child as a meal ticket. More details to follow.
