Is it worth going to court?

My x-wife and I have a five year old daughter. She is remarried with 3 more children other than ours. Also all her kids are under 5 and she is only 24. She just got out of the military and shares an apartment with her husbands family. My daughter does not get the attention she needs and when I take her for the summer she needs to be adjusted into what I consider is acceptable. Such as using shampoo and conditioner and combing your hair everyday. Her clothes always are dirty, not filty but not clean either. I know her mom cares for her but she just can't give her as good a life as I can. Should I take her to court for full custody? Is there a chance I can win.    (Last changed: February 26, 2006)

In order to change custody, you must prove that she is an unfit mother. Just because she doesn't bath her child every night, or wash her hair every night is not good enough. A custody change will most likely only occur if you can prove that the mother is abusing the child. My sister tried several years ago to get custody of my brother's children for all of the same reasons that you are describing. And the bottom line was that they were not unfit parents just because they weren't as clean as other people. Just love your daughter and try to teach her when she's with you about daily hygeine and how much better a body feels when it is clean. Good Luck. (Last changed: February 26, 2006 )

You probably can give her more, so why not take every child who gets less and take them. IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN! Try to work out something to benefit the child with her mother and derive the satisfaction that you helped.  (Last changed: February 26, 2006)

Of course it is worth going to court! My case has cost me nothing but filing fees, while my ex has spent thousands and never "won" a single court appearance. What she doesn't realize is that her side, run by her mother, Patricia [last name removed] and sister, Mary [last name removed] is not going to win. Yet, they continue to run up legal fees from a lawyer, John Dalton Shaw of Phoenix, AZ. They found this lawyer in a strip mall where his main clientele were illegal aliens looking for "green cards". I you are without funds to hire an attorney, try to work it out without the courts. Your local courts may have "self help" centers where you can fine courts documents. Your local court may also have "pro bono" attorneys or legal aid that can help you. walk in beauty...  (Last changed: February 26, 2006)

My brothers wife soon to be x, she was just caught for embeselment and I think is using drugs. My brother is not financialy stable, yet my husband and I are. I want to go for custody of my brothers children. Now that she has these charges do you think I can? O I am also going to start taking pictures of them every weekend when my brother gets them then they come to with us to spend time with my children they have not deep cuts by the eye and bruzed. I think they are being abused. I told my brother to take them in but she doesnt give him any of the med. cards.   (Last changed: February 26, 2006)

I'M SORRY, but I beg to differ.I have been in the Naples,Fla. system for six years now. Sixty-five thousand dollars later and I still don't have a relationship with my son. After being denied with no hearing and two years later Judge Cynthia [last name removed] finally court appointed a PAS expert. The Dr. diagnosed my son with severe alienation, made his recomendations of removing the child... for the court to say they don't have the power to remove the child. I have gotten this far, what am I to do now?   (Last changed: February 26, 2006)
