my husband and i were fighting for child custody but i dismissed it because he said that he loved me and would never let my kids be taking from me by him or his family. Now he said that he has evidence on me that i am a bad mother and that i want to leave him and take the kids from him and never let him see them.

Holly Berry asked:


My fiancé and I are saving up money to hire an attorney to attempt to gain full custody of his 8 year old son from a previous marriage. I love my fiancé and his son, we also have a baby on the way in August and I know the best situation for his son would be to live with us. His ex wife screwed up his credit and somehow got full custody of their son while he was away in the coast guard. They were supposed to get joint custody and he signed some papers before he left, but somehow she got full custody and now he only gets his son every other weekend.

His ex wife is a stripper now, parties a lot, does drugs and is very selfish. She has no interest in spending time with her son or teaching him anything and has even hit him in the past, but wants custody because of the child support she gets (which I’m sure is not spent on her son because we have to buy him everything and spend what little precious time we have with him helping him in school because he’s falling behind, instead of getting to spend quality time doing fun things with him.) Their son doesn’t even live with the ex wife; he lives with her sister and mother. She refuses to stay in contact with my fiancé, we never know where she is and she even tried to move to another state a while back without telling anyone.

I want to know what I need to be doing now in order to have a solid case against his ex and prove she’s an unfit mother when we take her to court. I recently found out that she has not even been claiming the child support she’s been receiving for like 6 months in order to continue to get welfare benefits. His son needs to finish his childhood years in a healthy environment with loving parents and I’m worried that we might not win the case because I know his ex will fight it just because she doesn’t care about anyone other than herself and is a child. Her sister, which is taking care of their son now, is a good person and doesn’t even like her sister so I think she might testify for us in court and I think she’d agree that it would be best for the son to be living with us. We haven’t talked to her about this yet because I don’t want it to get back to the ex wife what we’re planning until we can actually afford to make it happen.

Pat K asked:


Our grandchildren are in CPS custody. Our son and his wife placed the children with us voluntarily then changed their minds, made allegations and CPS took them from us. The judge ordered home studies for us even though we were not on the list of alternative placement homes given to the court by our son. we filed an intervention to have some say in our grandchildren’s future and get to see them. Our son and his wife now want us to drop the intervention and have threatened to not let us see the children. The foster parents abused the kids by ******** them and they were placed with the other grandparents who lost the right to oversee them before the originally came to us. Our son tells us that they will fight us in court to get custody. We do not want to take the children from them, only provide a safe and familiar place if CPS takes them again. What does an intervention mean? Our lawyer, CPS and our son were making good progress until yesterday when things blew up again. What do we do?

WotAboutMe asked:


I broke up with the father of my child and filed for child custody (sole physical and legal) as things got pretty bad. A month ago, we decided to work on things in therapy, couple counseling, classes etc which we’ve been doing the past 6 months. I’m now at a loss as to how to handle the custody date. Any ideas? Should we just agree on joint? It’s very important to me that he has time with his father either way.

JustMe asked:


I am considering moving out of state. I have custody of my 3 children. I was wondering what moving out of state would do to our visitation agreement? RIght now we have the standard every other weekend thing, but if the kids and I move, neither my ex husband nor I would be able to afford that kind of travel. This move would be good for the kids and I, but I don’t want to be held in contempt for breaking the agreement.
