My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Illinois
My daughter has had a problem with alcohol. I have tried to help her. I put her in a treatment center for about a month and have tried to go to aaa with her, but she doesn't wish to go. I have put up with her and her relapses way to long and all because of my grandson. She lives with me, but as of yesterday she is in jail. she went hysterical . I have never called the police on her because of my grandson. I just shield him away from what has happened in past. I will not be bonding her out. She spit in officers face and tried to put her hands on them. Anyhow, I want to try to use this time to gain custody of my grandson because I fear for him once she comes out. I need help and just don't know where to start off. Please guide me. I am in dupage county. She does not work. I support her and my grandson. He is 5 years old, and I have been supporting them both. I have had enough. she brings sadness to us all. In my home when I have caught her hidden cases of beer or wine, I grab them and empty them out.. Along with that comes all the cursing she does towards me. She just came from a treatment center in end of June and has not changed. I take my grandson to school now 3 times a week and leave work to pick him up and drop him to her. she has been taking this time to drink, and I have no idea where the heck she is getting it from. I want to know if I have a case? I have no idea where to begin and am overwhelmed
