Will I gain custody of my son again?

Question

So, to shorten it up the best way I can... When my son was younger(around 2) I was married to his mom, but it ended up not working out and she became a drug addict and the CPS was going to take him if I didn't give him up to my parents.. So, I let my parents obtain custody of him while I tried to get things worked out with my ex wife... Well, things never got worked out, so I moved on and my parents and the court let me get visiting rights after I left my wife(my son was no longer in harm from my wife)... I still pay child support on him and have to buy every single thing possible for him. Well in 2007 I got remarried and now, here we are today, my son is 6 years old and I am remarried to an awesome wife and we have a 2 year old daughter together and I recently wanted to regain custody of my son fully. So, I'm taking my parents to court now. The CPS have already came and and interviewed us and everything.. But, my parents are playing dirty saying, I am unfit to be a parent and don't provide anyway for my son... Which is completely the opposite. My parents hate my wife and my daughter and call both of them annoying and plainly said "They hate being around those brats" referring to my wife and daughter.. My lawyer told me to write down every incident that happens like this, so I have... What is the chances that I will actually regain custody of my son again?

Answer 1

Burden of proof is going to be on you to prove you have become a fit parent. Documentation and records are your best friend in this case. Chances are if your life is in order now and has been for some time then you will likely regain custody.

Answer 2

It's so sad that although your folks stepped in to help when you needed them, now that you have your life together, they have to fight you on returning your son to you. You didn't terminate your parental rights, you gave them Temporary Custody. Do you live near them? Will they still be able to see the child often? Maybe family counseling can help without having to drag everyone through the court system. The boy is 6 now, fully aware of what is going on and your folks don't understand the damage they're doing. Maybe an unbiased opinion can help them see what they're doing is wrong. Good luck.

Answer 3

you like a sturdy criminal expert and a divorce. And the secure haven in Mexico isn't a bad theory the two (purely kidding, yet I applaud your humor lol). With the long historic previous of DUI and DWI and parole violation, i do no longer see why you would be able to desire to no longer be provided finished custody. yet purely be warned, he could get visitation rights. and you opt for to be arranged for this.
