My daughter lives with her BM and is 6 years old. Her mother has moved her 12 times in less than two years, never given notice of change of address, every babysitter has been arrested in presence of child, BM spent childs last birthday in jail, house raided for narcotics and items found, bailed boyfriend out of jail at least 5 times over last two years, BM went to jail for truancy, refuses to seek medical care, CPS took children for one week from BM due to filthy house, the list goes on. I am going to seel custody but my attorney wants to wait till she moves to another county due to the judge we have. She recently gave one of her children to his father because CPS notified her they were comming. I live in Amarillo, Texas. CPS completely messed up the last report. they closed the case but we now know the house the BM lives in has been condemed and there is raw sewage exposed. I have made complaints to local law enforcement, Austin office of CPS (DFPS), senator, and the judge presiding. What should I do now with BM? My attorney quoted me 10,000.00 for custody battle. Does that sound reasonable and how do fathers ever get the money for this? Any advice would be appreciated I need to get child out of this mess.
