What re my rights to my sons? My mother had gaurdinship for 3 yrs. I lived with the boys too. Their mother wanted them back after leaving them. She failed her drug tests and the court took gaurdinship away from my mom and gave it to their mothers father. They said I was not the legal father even though I am on the birth certificates and the court reconized me as father by ordering me to pay child support. I want my boys back! I do not do drugs, i work and have completed everything Defac demanded and still did not get my boys because I am not legal
