I also forgot to mention that it is a temporary custody if that help me any.

It was legal and physical custody that we signed over. Being only 20 years old at that time and never being involved in anything like this before with the court I just didnt know what I was exactly signing at that time and I really didnt even understand what was on that paper. I just trusted my mother and really thought that was just the best thing to do at that time. She promised that she was going to give my daughter back once we got our self together but now the only thing she tell me is that she raised my daughter for over a year so we will have to fight her in court if we want our daughter back. I just dont belive that my own mother is trying to take my own child from me.

I am 21, my boyfriend is 26 and my baby boy is a little over 1 year old. We signed over our custody when my daughter was 3 month old. Now she is almost 2.

About a year and half ago me and my boyfriend ended up signing our newborn daughter over to my mom due to some drug problems that we was going through. Now we have been clean for over a year and have our own place and we are also taking care of our baby boy. To make the story short my mom started abusing her prescription drugs and now she is just not the same person that she once was. Due to our falling relationship it is getting really impossible to even see our daughter and be there for her. I also dont know if my daughter is safe anymore. Financially we are ok but not to a point where we can afford a 3000 dollar lawyer to handle our case. We just dont know what to do right now and dont know where to even begin. We really want our girl back but dont have the money to hire a lawyer, We have tried legal aid but no one there seem to even want to help us. Do you think is possible that we can do without a lawyer? Any help or advise would be really appreciated.
