Question posted in the Family Law category relating to Gauteng
This is a very long post. Sorry about that.
This whole story is about my husbands sister. She was married to a guy and they had kids together. They got divorced as he was abusing her and the kids.
A few years later she meets a new guy and they get married. She passes away a few years later.
The family decides to let the kids stay by the guy. A year later he marries a new lady that also has kids.
Obviously the family didnt take up the news very well and thats where the drama started.
The new lady is making them call her mom,even the new ladys parents get called grandma and grandpa whilst the childrens real grandparents are painted as monsters etc. They are basically brainwashing the children so at the end of the day they dont want anything to do with their blood family.
We really dont know which way to go with this,the children are currently under his foster care.
Is there anything we can do legally? Their real father is a NO GO. They kids are all we have left of my husbands sister.
I need legal advice.????
