[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 324822, member: 1233"] Now, in almost ALL states, custody is 50-50 or shared parenting with a 50-50 schedule. If you divorced more than 5 years ago there was some variation in this, but most all states have made it so you must prove extreme child abuse or being an unfit parent to have custody given to only one parent. Billie MIGHT be able to use the CPS thing against Jamie, but ONLY until the report is written to clear him. Once he has that document (try to get a copy of it to keep for when the divorce happens, if it happens) all his lawyer will need to do is file it with the court. IF he has a good lawyer. If Billie would get therapy things would be different. Until she hits bottom she will not get therapy. Jamie might be able to use her refusal to kick the pot smoker out of the house as grounds. The pot is endangering his child in some jurisdictions. But not in all. Janet, I know a LOT of guys who smoke pot occasionally. One of our favorite families has about always had pot around, since the 60s. Lately, with grandkids, they don't want the kids to make the choice until they are adults, so the parents don't smoke around them. Anymore, with heart attacks and cancer they don't smoke a whole lot. Even when they did they were still one of the smartest families (the dad was asked to head the National Chess group, that does the tournaments - he is THAT kind of smart.) that I have even had the joy to know. Pot smoking does not make you a bad person. It is illegal though, and you have to be aware of that risk and make some decent choices. It is what it is, in my opinion. Billie is the kind of woman that gives us all a bad name. Sadly, there is so much mental illness that causes this, and the chances that she will get help are pretty much zero. Jamie thinks that as long as he is there the kids are safer. If he won't stand up to her then they are not. They are still at risk with him living there. To have the best possible chances he needs to meet with an attorney to figure out what the courts would consider proof that she is unfit. The child dropping the baby because mom would not care for the baby? How do you prove it? Jamie needs to start gathering ammo because SHE may decide to walk if someone who will fight her less or who makes more $$ comes into the picture. I am sorry he has created such a rough home life for himself. I hope he does not just give in to her, that he stands and fights for his children and himself to have a better life. At some point he may have to Baker Act her as a danger to him or the kdis with her temper. [/QUOTE]
