depends on your situation... usually all you have to do is go to the county courthouse and file a petition for custody it will go in front of a judge and he will decide whats best for the children and he makes the decision. If you are a good person and can provide food shelter and love for your kids and are not in any kind of trouble yourself you should gain custody of your kids.

If you can't afford a lawyer, you can call & get the 1st consulation free. Stay on the cops butts & pester the D.A. until the do their jobs & put him in jail. Then you should get full custody again. Good luck!

You need to leave, taking your son with you. If your s.o.'s prior domestic violence was severe enough to land him in jail, you and your son are in danger! But I think you know that. You need to go to your version of the Family Court and apply for an ex parte Protection from Abuse order to start with. If it is approved, this could give you temporary custody of your son and even possibly give you possession of your place of residence (depending on a lot of situations, of course.)\n\nOnce you have done this, get in touch with your version of the Legal Aid Society. They should be able to advise you about the legality of the recordings you have and help you at no charge. Also, check out the Domestic Violence Center. If you have nobody you can live with until this comes to a full hearing, they may be able to find you a safe shelter.\n\nOnce you go to a final hearing, if you get a FULL Protection from Abuse order, you can try for custody. You MUST try to do this, despite the threats. If you don't, you KNOW there will be more trouble and possible violence. If you DO this, you will at least have SOME chance that things will get better and you will have what you want and need.\n\nPlease -- take care -- but get help soon!

File a Petition in court to justify a decrease in the support being charged you and cite valid reasons.  Regarding custody, prove in court that you have to right to have more time with the kids in order that they will have a good future.

If you signed a paternity affidavit after she had the child, then you can see a lawyer and petition for custody or visitation.  If you didn't, then you'll have to see a lawyer and go through the process from the beginning.  \nIf you have no court order saying you have visitation, then there is nothing you can do except get some visitation rights. \nIf you are willing to pay child support, or are already paying child support then you will have a better chance.\nIf the mother suspects you of using drugs, then you have a worse chance, but just have to prove you arent.\n\nBut there has to be court documents saying how your visitation runs, otherwise she can do whatever she wants.

This sounds like your neices are in big trouble.   Have you thought about just circumventing the failing system.  Go to their mother and ask her to let you have them to take care of.   She can still claim them as hers for food stamps, income tax, etc.   You get the kids.  She gets the money and benefits from claiming them.  They are safe with you.  Make sure this is a VERBAL Agreement!   At some point go to a lawyer and get a custody agreement so you would be a guardian of the children.

Yes!  Your first priority should be to your kids.  They aren't safe with your husband and you need to get them away now.  Call legal aid or see if you make payments to a lawyer.  Or see if in your state you can file on your own.  Make sure you have proof of whatever accusations you are going to bring up in court.  Document everything, it will help you later on.  Also depending on the ages of the kids, I would ask for supervised visitation due to him still talking to the perp.

If your wife has abandoned your children I would think it should be pretty easy for you to get custody of them.  I would check into that right away, though, don't wait for her to maybe come back and sweet-talk you out of it, since she would probably just leave again eventually.  I'm so sorry this happened to you -- best of luck, and remember that better times are on the horizon.

Most courts will grant mother with custody -- unless there's abuse, drugs, etc. involved.\n\nYou'd probably have to contact your local Family Court for more info.

your state must not have a scale that is used based on her income and your income. dont go to jail. go to court. have the younger son talk to the judge alone in chambers. it can make all the difference. your attorney can set it up with out her knowing until the last minute. fight for your kids. hope your older son gets better soon.

You don't have to get back with him to get closer to her.\nCan you work and live closer to her?\n\nOver is over. SO what's the problem?\nYou will need to have faith in your child.\nFourteen is old enough to know the "right from wrong" mom!\nGet some information and offer to help by paying for a afterschool program of something.

Ouch, I am so sorry!\nIt sounds to me like you need an attorney asap. One that fights for dads rights.\nIt takes someone special to be a parent, but too many times parents feel like they can just come and go as they please. I would, however, ask for back child support if none has been paid and you have been responsible for your daughter up until now. (that might scare mom off a little).\nI would also ask that if the mom now wants to be involved that she move closer to you to make visitation easier on your daughter so she has stability. \nWhat did you divorce papers read? \nDo some research tonight: Google Fathers and Dads rights for your particular state.... here's some to start:\nhttp://www.themenscenter.com/National/national06.htm\nhttp://www.fathers-rights.com/\nhttp://www.fathersrightsinc.com/\nGood luck.

That must be horrible!  What an evil ignorant woman!  Get a lawyer, and I'm serious because your sons have no right be being treated that way.  Go into the police station and demand a restraining order of some kind that prohibits her to speak to you and your children.  If she violates that she goes to jail.  Not to mention, get loads of family and friends, teachers and accaintences to testify that you would never do anything to hurt your boys.  You are being abused, not just your sons but your family is being abused.  You need to seek justice because it is people like you who have to fight for these things who make a difference in the world. Get a lawyer.  There has to be someone affordable.  Anyone. Also get witnesses that she is verbaly abusing your kids.Good luck

The State appoints a guardian (usually a social worker or some kind of caseworker) to your children...this is the person who finds foster care or other placement for your children and makes sure their needs are being met while they are not in your care.  That person is required to always be vigilant as to which placement is best for the child including, and giving priority to, reunification which means giving the child back to you.  So, you need to keep in CONSTANT contact with that person and let them know you will cooperate to the fullest in getting your kids back ASAP.  If you do not have a good rapport with that person you also need to be in touch with their Supervisor and up the chain of command, because a different caseworker can be assigned.  You need to take advantage of any visitation you can get, and go to ALL family court hearings, with a lawyer if possible or if you can't afford one call the family court to enquire about Legal Aid or self-help.  Unless you get different advice from an attorney, it helps to work with the system (social workers, foster parents, etc.) not against them.

File a police report and get a lawyer.  Take your butt down to the police station, they probably take a statement and then send you to social services.  Social services should be able to advise you further on that situation.  If the health and well-being of your kids is at stake, then go take care of things.  If you let this scare you and don't take steps to solve this now, the State can step in later down the road and just take the kids.

You need an attorney. You need someone who will look out for the needs of this child on a legal level. Ask for a legal child advocate, or what ever they call it where you are. There should be no way that an abusive parent, especially with no legal channels pursued for the crime, to force the child back with the abuser. Make phone calls, good luck to you. If you want to discuss the full details, contact me.
