I only have 39 days left and now the father wants to take custody. I just gave several of his charges his list of charges go on WHICH ARE WAY WORSE THAN MINE. MY SON HAS STATED SEVERAL TIMES TO FAMILY MEMEMBERS HE WANTS TO STAY WITH ME. HE HAS ALSO STATED THAT HIS FATHER IS NOT READY TO BE A FULL-TIME DAD.
CURRENTLY, MY SON IS STAYING WITH MY HIS GRANDMOTHER BECAUSE HIS FATHER HAS NO TIME FOR HIM.
You will need to speak with an attorney, in all honesty this is not something you want to be unprepared for. His crimes vs. your crimes are not going to be the issue.
Do you currently work with an attorney regarding your criminal case? I'd start there, maybe get a referral.
Re: Currently in Jail and Father is Filing Custody
My charges from 10 years ago. I recently just picked up the theft charge. His father is a drop-out that can't hold a job.

CURRENTLY, MY SON IS STAYING WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER (father's mother) BECAUSE HIS FATHER HAS NO TIME FOR HIM.
His other son is with his mother and his other son is a step child. His wife moved out and filed divorce papers two weeks ago. He refuses to participate in my son's sports activity and academics. Its all about money with him.

He was completly aware of the situtation. I dropped my son off at his mothers the day I turned myself in because he was drunk at a bar. He is doing this because he doesn't want to pay child support anymore.

Yes, I have an attorney. My attorney is well aware of the situation. My attorney told me he is wasting his time because the way the shared order is written.

Oh stop yelling.
You have an attorney. Go pay for HIS advice.
And seriously, drop your attitude towards Dad. From your behavior here, he might be the most stable parent.

Default Re: Father Fighting for Custody of Daughter. Mom is in Jail
A mud sling with dad over who is less bad is not goint to help you.
Staying with your parents or his parents?
Look, he may not get father of thex year award....but if your hands are tied for 39 more days to not personally properly care for your child there is no law against his trying to exploit your problems to his advantage .
From my lay point of view your odds rest with good counsel...and absent same you just about hand dad a slam dunk win of his points.
Many an attorney is a master of delay ...and if the child is not in harms way and you get your attorney in for a delay than that 39'days starts heading towards zero one day at a time...?

Really? Dad can show up at grandma's house and take the child. Your child doesn't get a controlling vote. His wants are only one of an infinite number of things. Your yelling is not helping you. Way worse? You are a convict as well. Expect that Lake County can walk in and remove the child from both of you upstanding people as you have put your child in jeopardy with your jail time if you want to holler how horrid dad is.
