I can't say this actually. What really transpired with my son was when he is about to go to college, my younger brother promised that he will be the one who will financed my son's schooling. I live in the south, miles away from my father, where my son is living with now. Suddenly, my brother disappear and nowhere to find. So my father is a little concerned about budgeting with my son's schooling. My father told me that he wanted my son returned in my custody but he said that my brother is not agreeable with his decision. I contacted my brother through text but no replies. So the question is, should I accept or agree with my father's suggestion to return him in my custody? Or will I wait for my brother's decision about this?

Well, best. I guess this is the time that you've been waiting for to be reunited with your son. You shouldn't wait for your brother's decision for as you've said, "He's nowhere to be found". Your son needs you now and you know that you're father is getting old and we'll never know what will come next. Goodluck in your decision best. HUGZ always!!!

I guess so. I really want to have him back but there are really some more things to consider. My brother is somewhere in the visayas too. I send him messages but he replies seldom. My father I guess is in good hands too.

Is your son still legally in your custody? If he's legally in your brother's custody, you might get in trouble for taking him without the brother's permisson. Sorry to hear you having such problems.

He's legally in my custody. I can get my son anytime if I want to but my brother is the one who insisted to have him in his custody. I really don't know what happened to my brother and I don't want to make such move without knowing what his plan is.

Hi Neil, maybe it would be better it would be better to accept your father's decision as it doesn't seem as if your brother really cares or he would of got back to you more or less imediatly but the choice is up to you, that is what I would do personally...littleowl
Disappearing act? I think you should take your son home & give your dad a break? Then wait for your brother to come back & discuss? In the meantime, your son is big enough to work, is he not?

Hi neil,
Oh I am so sorry to hear about the problem with your brother, I think it is best thing to do is have your son home for the moment as your brother is no where to be found and give your father a rest. Hugs.
