Q: What kind of proof do I need to get custody modified?
My son is 12 and he wants to move with me I have texted messages from him telling me he wants to live with my that his dad is drunk all the time and that he lied to the judge. I need to know what kind of evidence do I need. Also if the judge looks at passed how come he didn’t do anything about my ex being arrest for disorderly conduct to officer and open container, and I have never been arrested? And also my son and daughter lives in a 3 bedroom apartment and they sleep in same room with their father and 9 people live in apartment. I thought brothers and sisters can’t stay in same room? Please I really need help getting custody back. Hate seeing my kids like this.

A:
You will likely need an attorney to steer you through this process. There are many factors that go into a court awarding a custody change.

A: You have raised some valid concerns regarding dad's living situation. The court will consider the totality of the circumstances in making a determination of custody. Evidence entered in a custody case comes in many forms: photos, text messages, testimony, etc. You will need to gather as much proof of your allegations to provide to the court in your modification action. I strongly suggest that you seek legal counsel to review the specific facts of your case.
A: It sounds as though you do have issues that are cause for concern. You should save any kind of evidence that you have, and you should consult with an attorney who can help you with the process. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
