A: You need to retain a lawyer a d ask for custody of your children
A:
Take immediate action to protect your children.
Here are a couple of general options:
1. Hire a lawyer to get you custody, request supervised visitation for the mother, and an injunction that keeps the boyfriend away from kids; or
2. Contact Child protective services. But, keep in mind that although CPS offers free assistance they will be investigating you and the mother. In addition, they may be involved in the case up to 18 months.
