Q: 13yo daughter desperately wants us to have full custody of her and get away from her train wreck of a mother.
Her mother is somewhat unstable and likely bi-polar (opinion) but our oldest daughter left her at 16 and never went back and now our youngest, 13, begs us to not make her go to her house. We have shared custody, half the week with us and half the week with her mother. Her mother has been caught lying numerous times by numerous people. She cheats on her BF all the time with others and tries to manipulate the situation with the kids then trys to act like nothing ever happened. Her current BF wants her out of the house but hasn't kicked her out because he feels bad for our youngest daughter. I have had enough of her crap and feel like our daughter is probably better off without her in her life as much.
A: I’m not sure what you are asking, but it is obvious that you need to consult with a lawyer who covers child custody and family issues. Seek a lawyer who practices in your judicial circuit.
