Custody question (slightly long)?

I'll try and make this short. Basically, my husband filed for custody of his youngest daughter in February. Last week was court. The judge decided that he proved his case, warranting a change in custody. The mother's request for custody was flat out denied. (they right now have 50/50 custody.) Right now he just has to wait for a plenary hearing to discuss the change in custody to him and how its all gonna work. We dont as of yet know the date for that. However, tomorrow he is going to the court house to file for emergency temporary custody of her becuase he's greatly concerned for her safety, health, and well-being. Last tuesday, he picked her up a day early cuz her mother went into labor with her 4th child (mind you his daughter is 3, and she is the mother's second child. Do the math, lol). When he got there, her roommates were sitting on the couch with his daughter and smoking. This poor girl is very prone to pneumonia because of how much her mother smoked around her as a newborn. (thats on record as well). obviously, my husband was quite p*ssed. She had to go back to her mother on saturday. when she did, she had no injuries or scrapes and scrathes and the such. When we picked his daughter up today, this poor child had 4 scratches/cuts on her right hand, 2 on the left hand, 2 on her right forearm, one on her left wrist, a nasty bruise on her right ankle, 2 huge bruises on her right knee with a nasty cut in the middle of them, and two bad scratches/cuts along her spine. I understand that kids fall and get hurt and what not, but all that is d@mn ridiculous to have happened between saturday and today. So, tomorrow he is filing for emergency temporary custody. We have pics from everything we found on her today, which he will include in his paperwork tomorrow. My question is what do you think his chances of getting it are? As I said, the judge already recognized a custody change needs to be made n has determined that the mother has been medically neglecting the child. He wants emergency custody until he can get in front of the judge for the plenary hearing to change custody. Think he's got a shot??Custody question (slightly long)?I think he has a decent chance. Especially seeing how the judge recognized a change in custody needs to be made. You might want to get a lawyer if you don't have one already.Custody question (slightly long)?Actually my nephew who is almost two fell on his blocks and he was all bruised up. My sister was watching him btw my mom came in and asked her if she wanted her to pick her up anything(my sister was visiting) and literally when she turned her baby fell and she feels guilty still. You'd be surprised how badly kids are clumsy wise. BUT the smoking is disgusting. Good luck to your boyfriend
