[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 719115, member: 13542"] I agree with DoneDad, document everything. Here in CA. there are organizations which assist grandparents trying to get guardianship because grandparents raising grandkids is epidemic. Google that in your area. It may be prudent to call CPS now in light of the drug use and threats of murder/suicide. I raised my granddaughter and ultimately received temporary then permanent guardianship. I was told by an attorney to clearly state the emotional trauma the child is going thru, she told me that judges are people and respond to the emotional aspect of a child in danger. The danger part could conceivably grant you temporary guardianship because at least here in CA. that is what temporary guardianship is all about, danger to the child. A child that young should not be dragged around in the night with an unstable, drugged mother threatening murder/suicide. It may be time for you to get the authorities involved to help the baby. If you look on your county court website under guardianship, it will likely provide the info you're seeking. Also look for help for grandparents seeking guardianship in your county. There is a lot of paperwork involved, so if you can afford an attorney, that would be excellent. If you can't, you'll have to do the paperwork yourself, but do inquire about organizations that help with that paperwork for grandparents. The first thing that needs to happen is that you file for temporary guardianship because the child is in danger. Then there is a court date where you and your daughter will attend court in front of a judge. Before that date, you probably should get CPS involved so there is a record of the danger. You must get all your ducks in order.....document! I'm sorry you have to go through this, I know how heartbreaking it is.....it would seem at this point, that the child is the one who needs to get the proper care. [/QUOTE]
