What is the name of your state?WASHINGTON
My husband was divorced back in 2001 and takes his 2 daughters, who are 9 and 5, every other weekend. We moved to Portland, OR a year ago and was doing all the driving between Portland and Olympia(2 hours each way). We used to pick up the girls half a mile from their mom's house.
We recently bought a house in WA, but still quite a ways away. We live 1 hour and 30 minutes away from the kids' mom's house. We requested if she can meet us half way or even at least 30 miles from her house, she totally refused and requested to meet at the same place. We are currently in a mediation, but seems like we're going to court. So, since we're going to court with this matter, we also are thinking of trying to go for the custody of the 5 yr old one because last summer we found out that she had a sexual misconduct with her step brother who was at the time 8yrs old for several times. She was 4 then. We filed a police report and notified their mom. The police said they can't take any legal actions because the boy is too young. We think it's caused by a lack of supervision by their mother since their stepdad works all day long. Also their home environment is very dirty and the kid has astma.
Their mom usually calls us and harrasses us anyway she wants to. She thinks since she has the primary custody of the kids,she has us rapped around her little finger. She even once said "If you don't wanna cause any trouble, yu better do wahat I say". That's how we came to be fighting in amediation right now. We don't have any proof that she harrasses us and the very last time she harrassed us, we wanted file a police report, but our lawyer said not to. I don't know why. We just wanted to have something saying that she can not call us anymore except it is a matter related to the kids.
Well anyways, What can we do? Do we have a chance to get custody of the 5 yr old one?

So we know Kelly is mental, now we can assume she needs anger management also.
