My sil's ex (whose only part in the kids' lives is to pay support -- his choice) has just filed for sole custody, and WON, with sil restricted to ONE visit per month, at the courthouse, supervised by a sheriff. All this happened in less than two months! The ex is set to go to prison on felony drug charges, and when he does, the kids go to his father (who hasn't seen them in two years), or my psycho mil. The ex alleges abuse (not true). He, his wife (a stripper, no less) and his witnesses outright lied on the stand, but since he brought the motion, his attorney was the one who had all the time to question witnesses. 3 days after the decision, the ex had her visitation further cut (no cards, calls gifts, not even xmas or bday)! Now sil fears father of her other two kids is going to try to take them, although he swears no. But my idiot mil and the other sil are calling him every day telling him he should get the kids away from sil. ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Tell her to talk to a lawyer. There's not much hope for her, no matter how great a mom she is, if she's alone against a attorney. We can't do too much to help you on here. If she doesn't know of a lawyer in her area, look in the yellow pages, there might even be a family help center in your area. There's one in mine and they do pro-bono (free) work if you qualify. Tell her to also go to Social Services and ask for help and referrals. They will at least give her some names and numbers to point her in the right direction.
I'm sorry for her, and hope she gets the help she needs.

relies upon on in case you the two are going to co-perform with one yet another or combat one yet another at each turn. while you're prepared to compromise with one yet another, it is going to no longer take long in any respect. My friends custody case in Kansas took years to be resolved. value her over $10,000 until it became all complete.

It can take up to 18 years if she wants to keep pushing the issue and try to win back custody and then he'll try to win it back and so on. Be ready for the battle of your life and be as proper and clean as you can be. If you pick your nose the wrong way they will hold it against you. Good luck.
