My kids father and i have joint custody with him having primary custody. I lost custody and have visitation because i had a drug problem and wasnt working and on housing program and on food stamps. He has since got 2 dui charges with a child endangerment charge because he went to the school to get the kids drunk and hit a fire hydrant. the school called the police on him and he served 7 days in jail for it. He also doesnt have the girlfriend for support because she broke both her legs and the kids are taking care of her. he works third shift. In our court papers the judge said he smelled alcohol on the father and the girlfriend. also he said if time comes to tell that the father has a drinking problem the order will be revisited and more than likely terminated. I now have a full time job and a bank account. I have also just bought myself a car? Do you think I have a chance to get primary custody back?
Answer
We don't quote odds. If you have your life back together and he doesn't, it would seem you have a change. But kids are not balls that change change at whim. There are different standards for change of custody depending on when the last order was entered.
