Nearly three years ago my step daughter have me temporary custody of her then 15 year old son, while she was in prison. She was release one year later and while she did try to have a relationship with him she never took him back. She was again arrester. And after that run in with the law she left the state leaving him behind with me. In less the three months he will be 18. He has had a good life here, doing well in school, starting dull enrollment this coming fall. He had a terrible life with he, she drug him from man to man, state to state, in and out of shelters, never in the same school two years in a row. His father died from heart problem brought on by drug use. His baby brother died because his mothe drank and did drugs while pregnet. She has a terable temper and is a terrible person. She has just started texting him saying she is coming to take him to live with her. Can she? She is still a drug addict and felon. She rents a room in a house and has no real home to take him to. Her last Encounter with the law was her stealing my car, the judge ordered no contact, does that count as a standing restraining order?
