Children with drug addict mom

[amacoycurry]

What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
My son has 2 sons, 5 and 6 years old. We just found out this weekend when he had the boys, that his ex (they were never married) was in jail for the 2nd time in 3 weeks for testing positive for drugs. She is on parole and after the 1st time she was put in jail for 3 days and given the chance to be in day treatment. Her new boyfriend who she also has 2 sons with called and told us she was back in jail. We were told that she is on meth. My husband met the mother on Friday to pick up the boys in a town half way between where she lives and where their dad lives. My son does not meet her because of a very bad past history with her and does not want her to be given the chance to make up more things to get him in trouble. My husband said she looked awful and was about 80 pounds. She tested positive within 2-1/2 hours of dropping off the boys. We are going to call Child Protective Services, but need to know what immediatley should my son do for him to get custody of them. They had a very casual agreement before. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My response:

And I'll bet that she WASN'T a druggie skank before your son laid her. Right? I'll bet she was just a real "Snow White" when he was dating her, and then screwing her. Yeah, and your son is just the picture of virtue, correct?

Sorry I came to this web sight, I was just asking for some advice to help my grandchildren. But thank you to the "human being" that did give me some help.

My response:

You didn't get any help. You came here and purposefully didn't give all the facts. How does your son plan on obtaining custody when he has a criminal record as long as my arm?

If anything, the child will be placed into protective custody, away from all of you lovely people.

I would really recommend that your son talk to an attorney BEFORE getting CPS involved. Not only his own past...but other factors could effect a CPS investigation. I think getting legal advice first is wise.

Also.....CPS operates differently in different areas. In some areas the child could be placed immediately with the other parent (assuming that paternity has been legally established) in others CPS insists on placing the children in foster care until CPS investigates both parents. Particularly if the children are with the problem parent when CPS decides to make the snatch.

So....please talk to an attorney first. He may be able to get custody without involving CPS since mom's drug problems are documented.

Edit:

Ok...I just went back and reviewed your previous threads. DO NOT get CPS involved with these children without consulting an attorney first! You should never have asked that question without giving the background on both parents...that was guaranteed to get you bad advice.

Your son's chances of getting custody if CPS is involved are SLIM....and without an attorney in your corner CPS might not even place the children with the grandparents. So consult an attorney ASAP.

Thanks, we will take your advice. As for Alway Liable, it states to keep things short, and you know nothing about me or my family and I am sure you are perfect. I can tell by your compassion.

My response:

Lady, your "family" is not unique. I've been in this business too long to know that when one "grandparent" start ragging on one of the parents, their own child is more than probably just the same. Remember, "Birds of a feather flock together."

Your son is undoubtedly a criminal too, and none of you will obtain custody.

My response:

There, you see! I didn't even see your previous posts. Ldij saw them, and has now confirmed my theory about you and your lovely, law-abiding son.

It's experience, my dear. I see it ALL the time.

Keeping things short doesn't mean leaving out critical information. It just means leaving out extraneous stuff..like emotional issues. I am glad that you came back and read my post....and IAAL is a family law attorney.

BUT you as the grandparent

CPS does see grandparents as legal guardians and if YOU check out, you COULD get custody..... Get a real attorney involved for your rights in your area!
I was a fosterparent, in Virginia they do there checking of all family members. I had a child that went to a former drug addict Aunt.She also had 3 kids out of wedlock and none had the same father. She was clean when they invstigated her and had been for some time. There investigation proved she could provide for the child, although she had bad rep. and was single mom of 3. Never married, she got cutstody. They look to place the child with family, if your son has had a clean record and has had such for some time and your willing to back him, he may be able to get the kids. If not, you may be able to. They don't always see someone as a drug addict. They give chances, Contact CPS anonymusly. See what they say for your area..... There sole goal is to keep the children with a BLOOD relative if possible. Remember the best interest of the child is what they look for, you may be the best interest for the children. If granted custody, you could also get assistance for the children. Virginia laws are different so check locally first. You can always get a free consultation in your area from a good attorney. Good Luck and God Speed.
There is a ignore button here, you can also use that for those that want to go around giving their OPINIONS, I advise you do just that. There's good people here, and bad, remember to note the differences!!!

My response:

Geez, woman. Would you please learn to spell? Of course the courts do that in Virginia. Remember, that's the land of Dufus Hillbillies - - just like you!

This writer's son and daughter-in-law are two-time felon losers. They just got out of prison. You need to read.

Also, have you ever seen the possessive "their"? Trying using it.

God, are all people from Virginia as goofy as you?

My further response:

Pam, there are more typos. I guess it's time for you to attend a remedial English course. You can't seem to tell the difference between words that are spelled correctly, and those that aren't.
