Custody Issues / RE: Help him get an attorney
Jan 23, 2007, 07:58:35 PM
He wants physical custody.  He doesn't want to take her parental rights from her.  He wants the kids in his home where he can  properly feed, bathe, teach them proper manners, etc. and keep them from being exposed to drunken parties several nights a week and waking up with a new "daddy" every few days.  What kind of emotional damage does that do to preschool children?  Since they split up, she has become one wild party girl.  

He is a very mature 26 year old who has a steady job, although it doesn't pay real well, he does take his financial obligations very serious.  We are talking about a couple who make around $800 per MONTH so it's possible she could be long gone before he can get a lawyer involved.  This is a typical case of justice is for the wealthy.  Is there a way for poor people to get justice also?  I am retired & disabled, on a fixed income so I am worthless for any financial help.  That's why I am doing online research to discover information that may be of some help to him.  

At this point I firmly believe that if the kids remain with her, they will live in an unstable environment, bouncing from home to home, with very little chance of growing up to be responsible adults.  She sleeps all day and leaves them to their own resources.  If the father gets physical custody of them they will be in a stable environment, learn values, self discipline, and have a much better chance to grow up to be productive members of society.

Custody Issues / Unwed father wants custody
Jan 19, 2007, 06:40:32 PM
My son lived with his girlfriend for a few years.  They have 2 kids.  She decided it was time to move on with another man.  Now my son wants to get custody of the kids.  His name is not on the birth certificates as the father, birth certificates lists father as unknown, but the kids do have his last name.  He has no idea how to go about getting custody of the kids.  She isn't a good mother, but doesn't abuse the kids.  She works nights and sleeps days so she don't spend much time with the kids.  Her house is party central for her friends.  She yells at the kids.  They cry for their father often.  

Can't afford a lawyer so I don't think he has much chance of getting them.  Any idea's?  Can he get custody of them?  He wants to do this fast.  She plans to take the kids and move out of state with her new boyfriend.  The kids are only 2 and 3 years old, both boys.
