    Default How to Regain Custody After Giving Temporary Custody to My Mother

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: new jersey

    8 years ago I gave temporary custody of my twin daughters to my mom because I had no where to live and no job. Through out the years I have been there finacially and physically. I have had apt. And work but as a bartender so I worked at night. When I told my mom sI was ready for them she told me I was unfit because I worked at night.so the past few years I been searching high and low for a job that the hours are appropiate, now I have one an apartment and a car and she still wont let go!jshe also has changed as person...she is now dating our cousin through marriage and allow him to decipline them... They are now 12 and when I ask if they want to live with me they say yes... Please let me know if I have a chance in court.?

    They've been with her for eight years. I don't see anything changing unless she agrees to it.

    I am not sure that I agree. You could be right but mom should at least consult with a local family law attorney before completely giving up. Mom was given temporary custody so at least a change in circumstance isn't needed.

    I think she's thinking more along the lines of 8 years is HARDLY temporary. It's more than half the time they've existed on this earth. Honestly, if I were your mother, you'd be taking me to court to get those kids back too. You can't just take them off the shelf 8 years later when you're ready.

    And your asking 12 year olds where they want to live shows your lack of sound judgment. The same way you didn't give them a choice as to where they wanted to live 8 years ago is the same way they don't have a choice today.

    i understand what you are saying as well, but years ago i had it together but she was saying i wouldnt be able to get them because i worked at night...... and the fact her priorities are not honorable... example: using their funds for material things for herself oppose to buying food.i will retain a lawyer and see how this plays out.thanks for your opinion.
