:confused: My husbands ex is not mentally all there. She tried to abort the baby a couple of times when she was pregnant and she tried to commit suicide. When he left her she really went insane. She threatend my husbands other son and our unborn child. She started to stalk us and call all hours of the night. We moved to Nevada from Colorado and tried to file for custody but didnt have the funds to find her because she was living in a motel room. (she decided to pay her cell phone bill instead of rent) We pay her child support monthly but are not allowed to talk to him to see how he is doing. We have common friends and they keep calling telling us that we need to get him out of there. She is living with her mother at the moment that has Hepititis, and they leave him unattended constantly from the way we understad it. We want to get custody but are unsure how to go about it with us being in a different state. We are so worried that something might happen to him. With the history that she created between herself and my husband it will be hard. Please we need help we worry that something might happen to him if we dont get him out now!! Thanks for listening Nicole :confused: :o

If it is that bad, call the DCF or police and make a report for the child to be removed from the home. If it is that bad, then they will call you and a hearing will be held to place the child in foster care or preferbly you all's custody. IF it is not that bad, there will be a police report or other official record of what it is, and you can work on custody from there.

Call your local Department of Human Services. They can help. Just let them know that you want to report a case of child abuse. They will then ask you a series of questions to help them out as to where to find the child. They can help you out. If you believe that the child is in immediate danger call the police! They can have the child out of there and in a safe place until you can get there! I also recommend documenting any contact that you might have with his ex. This can help you in court showing that you have tried to keep in contact and that she is refusing your rights as a parent. Have your friends write an affidavit in support of your husband asking the courts to grant custody to him. This will show to a judge that these people are saying that your husband is a better person to raise his son. Go to a lawyer and seek their advice also. Even though you are out of state they can point you in the right direction. Keep your head up and pray for the best. Everything will work out in the end.
