Mother's visitation?

[kmease]

What is the name of your state? Alabama

My wife and I are the praternal grandparents of our son's child.
The child is almost three and we now have temporary custody through a Safety Plan adopted by the County DHR.
Both parents are drug users and have stated that they will sign over custody as they both realize that we have enough evidence to win a custody case hands down.
The parents are now seperated and our son is living in our household and been drug free since before Xmas. The mother is on the street and we hear is in a Methadone program. She has only seen the child once since we had her incarcerated in mid December for Menacing.
I just talked with our attorney and he stated that he had the papers drafted but was having a little difficulty with the visitation aspects for the mother. I thought that unlimited supervised visitation was best and he stated that the mother might disagree with this and throw a wrench into the proceedings.
I have a few checks that the mother fraudulently signed her name to and have the menacing charges that I could hold over her head.
I was curious what input others may have in a situation like this?

Thanks in advance and regards.

Um "hold over her head"??? Do you mean blackmail her with?? Does that sound legal to you? She could come back later and say you blackmailed her..do it legally..if what you say is true you should have no problem getting custody..if she is still using..but if she's in a program she can come back and says she's clean..and then would you return the child? Would you give her the same access you are giving your son who has cleaned himself up??
