Re: my brother and his girlfriend
He needs to get past the current charges, and file the appropriate Motions in juvenile court. As to his chances, I think he needs to prove the kind of parent he will be, and show why he waited so long to enforce his rights. He will do better showing his own positives than showing the mother's negatives.
