Husband is Seeking Custody, Alleging Unfit Parenting

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: TN I have filed for divorce bc my husband left me for another girl but dont have no proof so my husband and his parents filed to take my kids away from for good bc I did not take care of them like a real mom should. They want to take my kids from me but I live wit his parents bc my husband left me here wit no car no money.aomeone please help me I go to my lawyer monday and to court tuesday.

Why are they trying to say you're unfit?

We need more details....

Bc I have been talkin bout moving out

...that doesn't make you unfit in the slightest.

Speak with your attorney on Monday. S/he will guide you.

thank u so much for answering me. As of now they r not home where I can see my kids..they r keepin me from them...my lawyer says he believes that we can fight them but my in laws know everybody n the judge

So you left without the kids? Ok, you both - since you're married - have equal rights to the children. You can go and get them. But your husband can come over to your house and get them again, too. It's probably best not to put the kids through that kind of back and forth.

How old are the kids? Have you been their primary caregiver?

(Could you try not to use text-speak too? It's a little tricky reading the posts sometimes :) )

No im still here wit my kids in my in laws house my lawyer told me not to leave

My kids r 6 4 2...wat do u mean by primary caregiver n text speech?

You are coming across like a semi-literate seventh grader. The suggestion was that you follow the rules of spelling and grammar so that people can understand what you are trying to say.

Primary caregiver = the parent who has taken most of the responsibility of day-to-day parenting. For example, if your husband works all day and you're a stay at home Mom, you'd generally be seen as the primary caregiver.

I thought you said the kids were with your ex and he wasn't returning them to you?

(And thanks MKIA :) )

Yes I am a stay at home mom but his mom helped me with the day to day with the kids.
