Ok guys, i need some advice/help/get this off my chest. First off, this site has been very helpful, thank you. Ok, my wife and I have been married for 3 yrs. She has a son from a previous marriage that lives with us (9) and we have a daughter together (3). Family of four, she is a stay at home mom, one income plus her child support. I’m going to give you the honest story about everything that has happened. When we first got married everything was great. Soon after, i found out she was abusing pills. She would hop from dr. to dr. to get the amount she needed. I did not know this until I recieved a call from my insurance company. Anyway, i confronted her about it, she of course said she had no problem. About a year later she decided she did, entered an outpatient rehab, was put on a medication to step down from the vicodin, was doing great, but then decided to go out and get more vicodin, this time for her sis, got kicked out of rehab, now is addicted to the medication that was suppose to help her get off of the vicodin and is dr hopping again and will not go back to a counselor. Also found out after we got married that she has a bench warrant in another state for a dui, she left that state, moved to Texas, brought her son (which violated the divorce agreement from previous marriage) to start over. Ok, so that is bad enough…got a call at work one day that she was being arrested for shoplifting, class a misdemeanor, and to top it off, she had our daughter with her. Great. So we got a lawyer to clear that up. Last straw, as a family on one income, her child support that she is getting for my stepson comes in need to provide for him. So when i asked her if she has recieved any in December to help out with Christmas and things (goes into her own account) she said no..found out she actually did. Same thing in January and February..totaling $1000 dollars. I work hard to give her and my family what they want and need…all i am asking is not to be lied to. So i am at my end but i am at a loss because my little girl is my world. I would do anything for her. My stepson is a great kid and i love him to death but in the end i know i have no rights when it comes to him. My focus is on my baby. I need to find a good attorney that will fight for me. My question is, what are my chances of getting full custody of my girl? What scares me the most is her up and taking the kids like she did when she moved here originally. I need help, i dont know where to start! Thank you so much for listening to me ramble on!
