Legal Question in Family Law in Colorado
What can you do when a mother loses interest?
My stepson, Aaron, is 2.5 now. We have temporary full custody pending a court date because his mother did not have a place to live, no job, and made no effort to fix it. She has a history of going 3 months or more without seeing or calling him. She'll come see him for an hour then disappear for 3 more months. Mutual friends have told us that she is a heavy meth, pot, and alcohol user. She keeps questionable company...one came after my husband with a bat while in Aaron's presence.
Once we take her to court to get full custody, do you think we have a case against her? We want to get her parental rights revoked. Is our case strong enough?

Re: What can you do when a mother loses interest?
Thank you for your inquiry. I'm sorry to hear about your difficult situation. I commend you and your husband for your efforts to protect your step son.
As you may imagine, without knowing all of the background, it is difficult to comment on whether you have a strong case. The courts make these types of decisions based upon numerous factors, which would include the allegations about Aaron's mother's drug use, and overall stability, among many others. In order to give you an opinion about the likelihood of success you may have in court, it would be necessary to discuss your case with you in some detail.
