Re: Run away son

Hello. I suggests that you take steps to have

the guardianship modified at this time. Of course this will have to be done in Illinois. Acting quickly is a good idea since the court

will want to see that it is in your son's best

interest to be with you at this time. At 15,

in my opinion, the court will consider your

son's desire to live with you. Of course your

daughter's best interest will be on the judge's

mind as well. Letting the court know that dad's

efforts to raise your children have been less

than enthusiatic will greatly help your case,

especially if you have clear evidence of this.

I will be happy to discuss this with you further.
