The mother has to be supervised to see her 5 yr old with her parents and it's been 6 months since they've came. It's June now and in December she had a baby and they were both addicted to drugs so her 2nd child is under the state's protective custody. She had to do 30 days in a rehab program after all that. Well, after the 30 days she was supposed to test weekly and call somewhere daily to make sure she was staying clean. Of course, she failed so she has a 60 day program. I don't know what she's doing now but by the end of the year, her child will go up for adoption. Can she lose her rights to see the 5 yr old? The father has full physical custody and more. She goes 6 to 9 months at a time without seeing him. Can she do that? The 5 yr old hardly knows her. Since he was two, she's maybe seen him 20 times in over 3 yrs. Can she just call whenever and expect him to go with them. We have police reports too that her parents have left her alone with him so they didn't follow court orders several times. My 5yr old stepson is hurting the worst. She just comes in and out and I don't want my stepson to hurt anymore.

I have a 10 year old daughter that I have been the custodial parent of for almost four years now. My daughter's mother has indicated that she is going to pursue getting custody of our daughter. My family life has not changed. I have been with my new wife for over 5 years now. We have a nice 5 bedroom house and I have been at the same job for amost 4 years now. My daughter has attended the same school for the last 4 years. My ex has not made her child support payments EVER. Can you say "deadbeat MOM!" She is wanting to turn her life upsidedown, send her to a different school, and take her away from her other siblings(we have a blended family of 4). My last experience in family court was a nightmare. The judge threated to financially cripple me if I insisted we go to trial. It was Friday an she wanted to get out of there early. How concerned should I be over loosing my daughter? I know this would be a non issue if I was a woman, but as a father I am worried! My cousin Doug just lost his children to an ex that tested positive for Crack and Meth, and was thrown out of a court ordered treatment program. Thank you
