    Can I get custody
    My child mother went to jail for stealing from the store, only for a day or more I don't know. I had been in form by my 13 year old daughter. She also told me about drug
    Use. Im in the military and only want the best. Need help step by step please information. Can I get custody? What would I have to do? How could I investigate and find proof? She in Pittsburgh PA, I'm in Williamsburgh VA
    Is that unfit living?

    Well for proff, your attorney when you file for a change in custody in court, sends for the police and jail records of your ex. Also you have your daughter tell all of this to the judge and to tell the judge she wants to live with you.

    Sadly just a little drug use and one day in jail may not be enough to make her a unfit mother but your daughter saying she wants to live with you along with the problems should be enough

    As far as WHAT WOULD make her unfit... drug abuse, neglect, physical/emotional abuse of your daughter, etc.

    Really, a lawyer would be much better suited to outline these definitions and pursue these accusations for you. It may come down to how much of this is going on.

    Contact a child/family services lawyer in your area, they will be able to help you even if your daughter and her mother live in another area.

    Good luck to you... its wonderful to hear you're willing to do what's best for your child.

    You want to prove the mother unfit? This from a person who is trying to pirate some computer software?

    Get an attorney. You will need one to file the necessary petititons in family court. Your lawyer can then advise you of how to proceed.
