    Your husband has to prove that the mother is unfit.

    The definition of unfitness varies from state to state, but it normally
    Includes not only parents who have been abusive, neglectful, or convicted serious crimes, but also parents who failed support their children and have regular contact with them.

    It was my understanding that if the judge gave us custody that she would have to prove she is clean and stable before she would get the child back?
    #2 Should we take her to court while she is in rehab?

    What does the custody order say? You need to know the exact wording.

    When temporary custody is ordered, the custody order should spell out when the custody order will be reviewed and what the former custodial parent needs to do to regain custody.
