Well, sadly, the courts usually give custody to the parent that the child is living with at the time of the court dates. It's good that your cousin filed so quickly though! That may have some influence on the courts. But with the 72 hour order that may make him look bad.
He needs to have had these things the mother did documented. Keep every text, IM, email anything that she sends him. Have him try to remember dates that she acted abusive. That's what this is. It is important to have dates because the courts look into that.
SAVE EVERYTHING. The more evidence your cousin has the better he'll do. Have people come into court to testify about her. Could he get someone from the doctor's office to say that she wouldn't learn how to do the feeding tube? That would be great evidence right there.
I hope things work out for him because the child seems to be in danger. He can call CPS but they may look at it like a parent who's trying to start trouble because they are in a custody battle.
I know of what I speak, I went through this with my son, except I had him with me at all times. Your cousin shouldn't have left without the child but that's done now. I had to have documation from when my son's father beat on me, I had photos and police statements. He beat me three times, I left. Your cousin must get to court and keep going! It's a long process. Just have evidence and make sure he's honest. You don't want him to be proven wrong or to be lying because that will go against him.
I wish your family luck and I pray that the child is returned to her father.Cousin's wife is pyscho. he's trying to take custody of their child. what's gonna happen?
I think a Social Worker will take the baby out of your cousin's wife custody and take her to the father. Wow, can she babysit other people kids with the way she is taking care of her own. She needs to see why she insist taking of her baby properly.
and this woman babysits other peoples children?
if a social worker gets involved, either they will assign the primary physical custody to your cousin or the child will be put into temporary protective custody while a custody agreement can be made. if the custody order isn't what is in the best interest of the child, file for an appeal, and keep appealing for as long as it takes. tell your cousin to make sure he gets his stuff together, too because any hint of trouble on his record and the kid is gone. be patient, have a good lawyer, and pray. i'll pray for you and your family.
Sadly, I can tell you that my BF %26amp; I have been fighting for full custody of his kids for a year. His ex CLEARLY is an unfit parent (to me, to him, to the kids, lawyers, judges and social workers), but, if she wants to put up a fight...it could take a VERY long time to get them.
This piece of work kidnapped the 3 of them, took them to another state, left them in 3 different homes to separate them(so we couldn't find them) and then came back home to her state and ran around like a whore for a month...never once visiting them. They had no clothes, no toys and were being fed ketchup %26amp; mustard sandwiches by their fully-diagnosed schizophrenic grandmother. NOT to mention that she lied to them and said she had cancer and was dying and that she wished that somebody would break into the house and murder the 3 of them b/c they were so bad. At one point, she offered to trade her 3 daughters for the $ to pay her mortgage!!!
With all of that said, we are still (1 year later) still in court, still shelling out $$ for lawyers and still trying to get them to a place they will be safe and loved.
