Unfit Mother: Different Situation
I know someone that has children and she, the mother, has custody of the children. However, due to divorce, no child support, she couldn't take care of the children, therefore, placed them in a children's home.
Remember, she still has custody of the children. However, when she gets the children on weekends, holidays, etc., she drinks, talks terrible, meaning uses bad language in front of the children, and doesn't care what kind of movies the children watch with her at home. She is definitely an alcoholic, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all to drink around them and curse.
Is there anyway that someone else in the family can get custody of the children, at least until they finish high school/turning 18?
The family has not wanted to do this but the drinking is getting worse and the family is getting more and more concerned. We would still like for the children to see their mother but possibly with supervised visitation.
Any comments/answers?
This will be in SC. Thank you so much,
