1 hour ago - 1 week left to answer.
psychologists @ the first hearing, and why the judge still placed them w/ the father thats been absent exept for 1 yr ago, they are now 7 & 8 and have been under my care is beyond my belief
???
But i was granted visitstion due to my clean drug tests and my willingness to under go ANY thing i have to to get my kids back, and he took off w/ my kids on the days im supposed to see them 2 times in 1 mo. And they havnt been ALLOWED by him and his mother to talk to me ON THE PHONE for 5-6 days @ a time every week, the grandmother ripped the phone cord out of my daughters hand because she didnt want to get off the phone w/ me yet, and then 5 days later when i was able to speak to her according to thier father, she told me the grandma put the phone up high in the cabinet so they cant use it.

grandma, leaving @ 7:45 to take my daughter, and his sisters kids to school, leaving my son 8, w/ a 3 yr old ALONE in the meantime... im very scared for them, and my last screening came
up AS I KNOW BECAUSE I "HAVE BEEN CLEAN" a false negative, " is there Anything i can do to show my innocence? Are there any places myself or my lawyer can send me to before 11a.m tomorrow and have a result bsck for the judge???"???? I just recieved the test results back @ 4:45 today, and my lawyer had already left and im a nervoius wreck..... And with the abuse, mentally and physically. ( they will admit to it if asked) can it be arranged that even if ( which i hope is the worst case scenario), if the judge THINKS that im UNFIT??? Can my kids be placed w/ my mother being that their being abused and neglected where they are now? Does that happen? Can it? There are much more incedences that have gone on in the home to prove its unsafe, Can the judge move em 2 my moms being that were all they know ?

As harsh as it sounds.. if you're taking perscription drugs.. that are mind altering.. then I don't think you'll be capable of caring for your children properly.. personally speaking.

I also don't think a judge would just take your custody away.. if everything was as you described.

If I were you.. fix yourself.. get off the perscription drugs.. find other ways to manage the pain.. and then try for 50/50 custody.

I'd be interested in hearing the other side to this story, as they say there's 2 sides to every story. Usually there's a reason the kids are given to the father cause even in this day and age courts are still partial to the mother getting custody, so if it goes the other way there's usually a very good reason.. Also why does the guys mother always get the bad rap just for trying to help her son and the grandchildren, when the womans mother is doing the same thing, seems like a double standard there to. My advice would be to get yourself straightened out and not put the kids in the middle and take some responsibility for your own actions instead of putting blame on everyone else.

Your clean tests and willingness to get them and to stay clean are very important. It does take a few years to be completely clean. Consider taking something called chlorella from the health food store... it nabs toxins and sends them out of your body... and adds oxygen to your blood.

Your ability to show that you can provide a stable home life and that you have a job means a lot, too. Take your paycheck stubs and a bank statement if you think that will help. Even better if you can show a reference letter from your boss that you are a good employee.

The problem here is that your ex has his family involved and running interference on his behalf. If the ex hires the psychologist, the psychologist will tell the court what the ex wants him to... a fact of life.

You are the mother of these children and should have custody.

i would make sure i told the judge all that..make sure to let him know hes not letting you see them and that they get in trouble if they talk to you on the phone.. and make sure you can show your clean.. if it dont happen yet this time keep trying cause as long as your trying and proving yourself you might get them back someday.. just be honest to the judge.. good luck
