Does he have a chance at full custody??

What is the name of your state? MO
My son and his wife are going through a nasty divorce and he has temp custody of the 2 children ages 3 and 8 since the mother is from another country and is considered a flight risk.
She the mother has on several occasions been abusive to the children esp the 8 year old. These times have been witnessed and pictures taken of the bruses left on the child. And has hit the 3 year old in the head with a hard hat. { he has speech problems, Might have this be the reason??}
The mother is now been given visitations and now is telling the 8 year old that she has to lie to the judge and " Tell him mommy didn't hit you because if you don't, Mommy will have to go to jail" She also told her that " If you continue to go to that school, That means you don't love Me"
About 2 weeks ago my husband an i had to meet our son after he picked up the children after a visit with the mother and he then turned them over to us so that he could get to work. On the way home the 8 year old sadly said " I'm going to lose my mommy" I tried to tell her that she isn't going to lose her mommy, Mommy would always be her mommy.
She came back with " Yes, I am, Mommy is going to leave with her boyfriend"
This was the first we had heard of a boyfriend, Had thought maybe there was one, but didn't know for sure.
Right now the mother is leaving the children in the home at night with a new immigrant [ the mother's grandmother] that speaks no english and can't even dial the phone if there was an accident.
Today the 8 year old told her daddy that grandma told mommy that i kicked her and i didn't, but mommy smacked me on top of the head and made me go tell grandma i was sorry.
So does he had a chance at getting full custody of the children?? He has done everything that has been required of him, And he takes good care of the kids.

How do we know? He will present the evidence in court, and hope the judge agrees.

Phones pretty much work the same way around the world. She may not be able to COMMUNICATE with the person on the other end, but unless she's a limbless stump there's no reason she can't dial 911 if there is an emergency. The 911 operated would dispatch someone to the address to handle the emergency.

How do you know this?

And did you document this or tell your son's attorney?

Right now the mother is leaving the children in the home at night with a new immigrant [ the mother's grandmother] that speaks no english and can't even dial the phone if there was an accident.

Irrelevant since the 8year-old can dial.

Today the 8 year old told her daddy that grandma told mommy that i kicked her and i didn't, but mommy smacked me on top of the head and made me go tell grandma i was sorry.

Again, did you document this with your son's attorney?

So does he had a chance at getting full custody of the children??

yep, 50-50

He has done everything that has been required of him, And he takes good care of the kids.

And when these revelations (especially about the potential move) came to light, did your son inform the court and file a temporary motion for SUPERVISED visitation? Did he tell his attorney? Did he do ANYTHING?

How do you know this?
The 8 year old is very bright and she makes it known that she is unhappy about going on's at mommy's house, She is very talkative to daddy when she comes home from a visit. You don't have to ask any questions, she just starts rambling.

And did you document this or tell your son's attorney?
Yes, It is documented and the Attorney has been imformed.

Irrelevant since the 8year-old can dial.
Point being, the children sleep upstairs, The grandmother sleeps in the basement. There is no phone in the basement, She couldn't climb the stairs to get to the phone.

Again, did you document this with your son's attorney?
Yes, everything has been well documented.

yep, 50-50
Even after her abuse of the children is proven??

And when these revelations (especially about the potential move) came to light, did your son inform the court and file a temporary motion for SUPERVISED visitation? Did he tell his attorney? Did he do ANYTHING?

Everything is in the Attorney's hand, Except the new allegatations of smacking the child on the head in the last day or two. I don't know why he is not pushing for Supervised vitations.
