Custody father deploying to iraq
My husband is getting ready to deploy to iraq and my step children want to live full time with us. There was a PFA in order because the biological mother his the older one. The girls are 12 and 14. We have been going to court for a while. They both say they don't want to live with her. Bills don't get paid. Water gets shut off. CYS even went to the house with the water shut-off and they don't think much of this. It is a matter of time before the gas too will be shut off. Is there a similar case that any one knows of where the step mom was granted custody of the stepchildren while father was deployed? The last time father was deployed kids had no food, water, light, their hair was never done. Biological mother is always at the bar drinking. Just wrecked the car which was owned by my husband and by a court order she had to retain. (she received a DUI and wreckless driving charges.) The kids were with her this weekend but not in the car, thank GOD. Can anyone help?
