from the facts given, your best approach would be to set up an OSC hearing to try to get the current custody order amended or modified based on these changed circumstances. if you would like further assistance in this legal matter, feel free to email me directly with how you would like to proceed.

Re: Taking custody from mother

Your daughters wishes will be taken seriously by the court, but she is still a child, so she does not have absolute say until she is an adult. The older, more mature, the child, the more weight given their desires. A change of custody is difficult, except is extreme circumstances. From what you are hearing, you have a good chance at the change of custody. Your chances improve substantially with the assistance of a family law attorney. Good Luck, Pat McCrary

Re: Taking custody from mother

You must file immediately for child custody. You can use the drinking and prozac as reasons. Also, you should call child protective services. They will, if what you are saying actually happens, intervene and probably help you obtain custody. You should really hire a lawyer. Thanks for inquiring.
