Q: How can I get custody of my kids when the mom has not had them in almost two years bc her addiction to drugs?
I want custody of my kids bc I find the mom is unfit to take care of them. An what makes me really mad is now the state is taking child support out my check an me an my girlfriend has been taking care of them since March 3 2018. They are ages 10 an 12 an they do not want to go back with her bc she has done alot of stuff emotionally to hurt them. She had abandoned them in Oklahoma for a couple days shy from 6 months once I found out I got them immediately she wasnt even suppose to go out the state without me knowing. Once I got them she went back to Oklahoma in my opinion she just didnt want them bc she said she couldn't find a ride to get them but as soon as I got them she went back to Oklahoma. It's getting to the point my girlfriend almost cant pay her Bills bc she is not allowed to get any kind out help from the state for them an since they are taking child support out my check the mommy of my kids is getting more money from my check then I am getting so I cant help pay the bills
