Q: Can my ex husband take my kids from me?
My 4yr old hide on me and I couldn't fine her. I panicked and them called my ex husband. I found her within a few minutes. He then starts yelling at me sayin I am not responsible and is going to try and fight me full custody. Kids are going to be kids and do things to scraw the crap out of us. Can he really use that against me in court? I have been a stay at home mom for 11 yrs(my oldest is 11), I have 4 kids and I have always been the one who took care of them. Made sure they had food, they are clean, have clean clothes, and do all the housework. I am scared he will try and say I am unfit
A: If this is the only "incident" then it is highly unlikely. If there is a pattern then that would be a factor. Do you have legal custody? Has there been any court orders? Modifying a court order already in place is much more difficult than getting an initial order. Speak to an attorney.
