Speaking as a prior Sex Crimes Detective in Florida:\n\nCall the state abuse hot line and make a report.  Child Protection and the police work in concert to investigate these allegations and they are taken very, very seriously.\n\nIf this has been done and you are not satisfied with the out come you need to do as you have done... Hire a good attorney and let them lean on the police, the state attorney and the Child Protection agency.\n\nI wish you luck, my friend.

I agree with whomever said to petition the court.  You can contact your local department of social services to see where and how to get the paperwork. My sister's ex mother in law did much the same thing during my sister's divorce and custody hearing (her ex husband was into drugs and endangering all their welfare by bringing the dealers home). Her ex mother in law got one day a month (supervised by my sister b/c of problems there as well).  This is in NY. Your best bet would be to contact a lawyer and see what your states laws are.  I am a total advocate of children having relationships with ALL their family (with the exception of when they are in danger by this of course) So I wish you the best of luck.  I believe children are harmed when they are brought into the middle of adult squabbles. Again best of luck to you.

http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/\n\nYou can also call a lawyer, but if you have custody of your kids, I wouldn't worry.  \n\nTaking away custody is a very long and involved and expensive process.  As long as the children are fed, clothed, and cared for (half of the time they don't even have to be WELL cared for, not that yours aren't) CPS won't take children from their mother. When CPS is involved, proving abuse or neglect is difficult, and you will always get the benefit of the doubt.  \n\nJust realize that you will need to think about things like that from now on.  If your husband can afford to take you to court, you need to be on your toes.  A highly paid lawyer can turn the smallest things into a custody issue. Stupid things like feeding your kids McDonald's instead of home cooked food, or if they are left in daycare too long or with a babysitter while you work.  If you smoke around your children and your husband doesn't.  Also, courts frown upon parents having boyfriends/girlfriends around the children, especially if you live together.  If you live with a boyfriend and your husband doesn't live with a girlfriend, a good lawyer can get your kids taken away because your home is immoral. I am not saying any of these things apply to you, just trying to show you the types of things the court will look at.  CPS is one thing, but fighting against a good lawyer is another.

Hi,\nI'm not an attorney, and this is not legal advice, but here is what I’ve heard:\n\nThe appropriate body of law is the \nThe Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act.\n\nIt says that the state of jurisdiction is:\n\nThe child's home state. \n(where he has lived for the last 6 consecutive months)\n\nIf jurisdiction there is in the child's best interest.\n\nAnd the child is physically present in that state.\n\nThere is no jurisdiction if the child was kidnapped, or brought to that state unlawfully.\n\n\n\nIt's a little more complicated than this though.  \nHere is the applicable section:\n\nSECTION 201. INITIAL CHILD-CUSTODY JURISDICTION.\n\n(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 204, a court of this State has jurisdiction to make an initial child-custody determination only if:\n\n(1) this State is the home State of the child on the date of the commencement of the proceeding, or was the home State of the child within six months before the commencement of the proceeding and the child is absent from this State but a parent or person acting as a parent continues to live in this State;\n\n(2) a court of another State does not have jurisdiction under paragraph (1), or a court of the home State of the child has declined to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that this State is the more appropriate forum under Section 207 or 208, and:\n\n(A) the child and the child's parents, or the child and at least one parent or a person acting as a parent have a significant connection with this State other than mere physical presence; and\n\n(B) substantial evidence is available in this State concerning the child's care, protection, training, and personal relationships;\n\n(3) all courts having jurisdiction under paragraph (1) or (2) have declined to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that a court of this State is the more appropriate forum to determine the custody of the child under Section 207 or 208; or\n\n(4) no State would have jurisdiction under paragraph (1), (2), or (3).\n\n(b) Subsection (a) is the exclusive jurisdictional basis for making a child- custody determination by a court of this State.\n\n(c) Physical presence of, or personal jurisdiction over, a party or a child is neither necessary nor sufficient to make a child-custody determination.\n\n\nI think you should discuss this with a qualified family lawyer.\nDo not act on the advice of an anonymous poster!\nGood luck. I hope this is helpful.

Actually, you and your husband should have full custody of your child, since the Mother was incarcerated.  \n\nThe Mother has to have a "permenant" address, in which to file, for joint custody, and that is only going to be on the weekends and maybe time in the Summer for vacations.\n\nYour child, if he/she is old enough can elect not to go to the Mother, for vacations as she may pose a danger to them, (if she is on drugs or some other thing that may be a restriction).\n\nCheck with your lawyer and see what your "rights" are, and what her "rights" may be...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

Here in Delaware, it would be with the Family Court (State) where the person who has custody resides. I believe there must be a custody order (or at least a temporary custody order) in place for this motion to be considered.
