No, you are correct.Isn't Crystal's fiance' also her stepbrother, or did I misunderstand?![]()
If Haleigh was not missing and all of the dirty laundry thrown out there for the public to see, I wonder if some would feel differently about the judges decision.
1. Crystal had no job or source of income
2. Ron had a job and source of income
3. Crystal neglected to get Haleigh to several drs appointments and Jr to 1
4. Ron had drug charges
5. Crystals mom the person who Haleigh, Jr, and Crystal would be living with and
providing care for the children had drug charges
6. The judge viewed the domestic violence reports
7. The judge viewed DFC reports from both Crystal and Rons home
8. Crystal did not show up for a court hearing, even though she was personally served
and responded to the petition
9. Crystal and Ron both said they had no problem with the kids having unsupervised
visits.
10. Ron tested clean on drug test and had proof of that
11. Crystal said she tested clean on drug test but had no proof of that
I honestly cannot see how the judge could of made a different decision than he did.
I can. If he had made a different decision, Haleigh might not be missing. The child CS has custody of is not missing.
1. CS would have had an income if she received custody in the form of child support.
2. Crystal was living with Ron, had no driver's license and relied on Ron & his family for transportation. Why wasn't he responsible for getting her to the Dr, if he's such a loving, caring father.
3. A relative having drug charges is completely different than the custodial parent having drug charges.
4. The judge said her claims of not getting notice of the initial hearing were valid and it was indeed sent to an address where she had never lived.
BTW, this is a relatively common tactic in custody cases.
4. A DCF case worker took her to get the drug test, just because he asked her about it doesn't mean it wasn't on file. It certainly wasn't disputed in court.
The judge's ruling was based on Ron having a job and source of income. He said so himself.
Can anyone tell me where/how I can find court records for Aluchua County?

My understanding from the court documents is Crystal was not living with Ron at the time the drs appointments were missed, a relative having drug charges that you are going to be living with and relying on them providing care for the children is the same as a custodial parent in my book, the original petition was personally served to Crystal and she answered that IIRC 13 days after being served would it not be her responsibility to update the court with her current address? The judge reviewed the DCF reports and the domestic violence files if there was anything alarming in them with the regards to Ron I think the decision would of been different.
I would not want to be a judge and make these decisions thats for sure.
ETA: I went back and double checked the documents to make sure I had my facts straight.
1. Haleigh lived with Crystal until August 21, 2005 when Ron picked them up to take them on a vacation to Mexico, he did not return the children
after he became concerned over a cocaine issue with Crystal.
2. Ronald filed for custody of the children on September 16, 2005 - Crystal was personally served October 5, 2005, and filed her response October 18, 2005
the court mailed out a notice that there was a hearing for December 1st. It was Crystals responsibility to notify the court if her addressed changed
after October 18th. This was not a ploy by Ronald so that Crystal would not be aware of the proceedings.
I believe he was saying this in response to avoid dragging Crystal through the mud at the time by bringing up other things. At no time has he stooped to their level and said anything bad about Haleigh's mother. I respect him for not bringing up all the things he could about her or her family.Originally posted by Chicana: The judge's ruling was based on Ron having a job and source of income.

The last time I checked, a sister's record wouldn't come into a custody dispute...but a grandmother providing the children with a home would be an issue.There's a lot more mud that could be slung at Ron and his family.His sister's record is way worse than CS's mom. I think their mom is an enabler.
I'm not going to analyze the judge's decision, he's not supposed to be nice, he's supposed to be factual. He said he was granting Ron custody because he had an income. I have no reason to believe he was sugar coating it, truth is, I think it would be hard to paint a pretty picture of either side of the family.
I wonder if the judge regrets his decision now, this might not have happened if he had given custody to CS.
