bribed child

[sprchpmnk]

I am a 39 yr old mother of 2 one 15 yr old from my 1st marriage and a 6 yr old from my current marriage. I have had full custody of my daughter since she was 6 she is now 15. Her dad has bribed her with a vehicle numerous trips to Las Vegas and numerous trips on cruises and unlimited freedom, but only if she comes to live with him. He has also told her I had an abortion when I was 15. Not true. So she is now adamit about going to live with him. She has even went as far as to say that the kids are scared when we fight and that there is abuse of my husband to me. That is not true my husband knows better. No proof just a 15 year old wanting to do what it takes to get what she wants. She has a step brother and a step sister with me as well. Her dad is a personal trainer I am a nurse. Her father petitioned for custody. He got it under the pretence that he can better materially promote the best interest and general welfare of the child. and they want me to pay 380.00 a mth in child support. Over at her dads she has a stepbrother 21 yrs old. The mother of the 21 yrs old admited she took him out of college because of drug use and he stole from the stepfathers parents (drugs) (the stepgrandmother is on oxycotin, pain patches and more for back problems) but no help has been offered to this person to get off the drugs. Now the 15 yr old father says he makes 24 and hour but only brings home 20thousand a year. I make 15 and bring home 31thousand a yr. how can he better materially take care of her than me. my 15 yr old has a sister that lives with me . I don't feel it right to take her away from her sister and according to our income I make more than her dad a yr. he makes more than me an hour. my income combined with her stepfather is 130 thousand a yr. her fathers and stepmothers is 40thousand. I just don't feel like material things matter and she should not be given to another parent because he gives her material things. she gets to go to dance, competitions, sings, voice lessons, trips out of town to the competions at least 3-6 a yr. she does get these things with me. I have not had any help from her dad paying for this in the 9 yrs we have been divorced. He has not done anything ordered to help the child, I had to take him back to court to 5 times or more to make him pay childsupport and they finally took his income tax. now how does that make him the better parent. I would like to know any court case that I can use in court that would counteract the Ex parte Mcclendon case on material possesion. But this Ex Parte Mcclendon is about someone who has voluntarily given away custody or that custody has been given away to a nonparent. This should not apply in this case it is about grandparent rights and giving away a child . I did not.Like one that says they should not take her away from her sister. He should not put her in a house where drugs are being used by the stepson. can anyone help. anything that might apply to help. Also keep in mind this child will lie just to get what she wants.
