Could these factors change custody?
My husband gets summer visitatio with his 6 year old daughter for two months. We have taken her in for developmental evaluations for the past two summers because she is not acting her age. She is very anti-social, has comprehension delays, did not talk until the age of four, could not dress herself when she was five, talks to herself a lot, lies about everything, cries about everything, etc. At both evals it was recommended that she receive speech therapy and occupational therapy. We passed the information on to mom and she did nothing. The child has also seen a specialist because her feet turn in really bad when she walks. She was fitted with special insoles to wear with tennis shoes and is supposed to wear then all the time. No flip flops allowed. Well, mom sent her out to us for the summer without the insoles and nothing but flip flops! The child told us that mom doesn't make her wear them. WTF! My husband and I are very upset about this whole situation and wish there was more we can do but since we live in a different state, we aren't sure what we can do. There is also a history of molestation two years ago that mom did nothing about! We reported it and unfortunetly it was unfounded. Therapy was recommended after the incident but mom failed to do that as well. We just want what's best for my (step) daughter. She is going into firstgrade this year and I know how mean kids can be. I don't want her to be the one all the kids make fun of. Does anyone think we have a strong enough case to take to court and ask for custody? Does anyone have any insight or advice to give us? Thanks!Could these factors change custody?If the mother isn't following doctors instructions with a special needs child I would say your husband has very strong grounds to have custody reevaluated by the court.
