I want to give my mom temp. custody for me to get on my feet.
Two weeks ago, I decided to move about an hour away to get a job and get a place to live for me and my son. His father agreed to temporarily take him for 3 months or so, so I could get an apartment. My mom originally wanted to keep him for me, but because he is his father, I thought that was best. He now thinks that our son's original diagnosis of Bipolar is wrong, yet he won't take him to another doctor for a second opinion. He won't even make a phone call to take him in for a 6 year check up at the doctor. I have raised him until 2 weeks ago, and he knew it was not permanent. He is now threatening to say I abandoned him. I have seen him since I have moved and I talk to him regularly. He is threatening to take him off his medication. I was told by cps that he had to be medicated for his bipolar disorder and that it was considered a mental illness. He has been to 1 or 2 of the appointments out of 6. he has no job.. and when he does, it's for a few weeks... he is behind in child support and hasn't even attempted to get a driver's license or a ged. The only good thing I got from him was our child. I am wondering if I can request that my mom have temporary custody of my son on the grounds that his father is incompetent to care for him medically? I see him not giving him his phsyciatric medication as neglect. He, our son, has a formal diagnosis of bipolar 1 and adhd and he wants to end the medication.
I have a job, I plan on being out on my own in 2 months... and he's living with his parents with no job or education. I am afraid that if I leave this job to move back and take my son back, I won't be able to support him the way I should so I want my mom to have temporary custody of him until I am in my own apartment. How would I go about getting this done, if even possible? I live in Texas by the way
