Q: My step daughter is going days at her mom house without a bath changing clothes and even eating. What can we do?
How can my fiance get custody of his daughter without a lawyer? What are some things that will help him? If we are married and have her her own room does that help his case? she tells us that her mom tells her she is stupid. She also tells us that she doesn't have time for her. She went home and came back 2 days later wearing the same thing. She told us she didnt get out of the clothes or underwear. She screams and cries not wanting to go back to her mom
A: First, there is no answer for how to change custody without a lawyer. Short of going to law school and learning how to function in the legal system. Second, you need a lawyer to help you with this. If money is the issue, many will work with you on a payment plan. Third, trust but verify is a good motto when dealing with children going back and forth between two houses. It is not uncommon for a child who feels torn between the two households to tell each parent what he or she wants to hear. It is understandable. The facts that you have described are not alone enough to have a great chance of success in modifying custody, but there could be more facts that would help. Best of luck!
