Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Hello, this is my situation: I am a mother of (4) children, (3) by my x-husband, ages 8, 11 and 13 and (1) by my x-boyfriend who is 3 years old. I have custodial rights to all 4 of them. I recently have been having a rough time and started drinking. I know I have this problem and actually today I have an appointment to start out-patient rehab for it because I want this problem gone. I'm a good mom and I love my children very, very much. Recently my x-husband got fired from his job and is now moving 3 hours away and wants to take the children with him. He says he wants full custody and is going to try to prove me unfit and says he spoke to a lawyer who says it will be easy. My x-husband has a history of being diagnosed by a psychotherapist as being a psychopathic deviant and he has lots of mental issues. What are my chances of keeping my children. I know I have been messing up lately. I have not harmed them in any way but I do drink and they don't want to be around me when I do because I get drunk. Can I keep them if I get help? He is also saying that he is going to put them into a much better school up there and states that he makes more money than I do. I have a job and I am going to school to get my degree online, I am not a drunken bum. Just having a hard time. He also says that if he proves me unfit that I will lose my other child by the x-boyfriend. Is this true?

I am sorry about your situation. Your ex is making a lot of threats that he likely will not be able to prove. But, you definitely need an attorney to represent you if he attempts to get custody of the children.
