My Ex wants to take custody of my daughter from me b/c I moved back in with my husband after a separation. My husband has issues with alcohol but he is enrolled in classes to help him with it.He no longer drinks and we are soo happy. My question is can my Ex take my daughter or is there no case b/c my husband is getting help?

I am about to file for divorce & NEED to prove my husband is an alcoholic & will put our 3-year-old’s safety at risk. I know most judges will rule the alcoholic can’t drive the child or have him overnight, but I have no proof that my husband is a drunk!
He drinks at his home & doesn’t drive much. He hides vodka in his laptop bag so he can drink at work, but hasn’t been caught yet. Strangely enough, he is a brilliant IT director & very respected!
I know for a fact that he drink around the clock because he has physical withdrawals if he goes without alcohol one day. He physically can’t avoid alcohol in order to have visitation since he gets violently ill, so I know he’ll drink while caring for my son (even if the jugde orders him not to).
Since he has no DUI offenses & hasn’t lost jobs due to driking, what else can I do to prove he is an alcoholic & that he will put our son’s safety in danger?
BTW, he has driven my son while drunk…I just don’t have evidence to show the court.
I’ve thought of calling the cops when he leaves here drunk, but I doubt they will locate him while he’s on the road. They’d have to respond within seconds to catch him driving away.
I’ve also considered hiring a private investigator to track him & get proof, but doubt I can afford it.
Wow, there are some very angry people attacking me! He wasn’t an alcoholic when I met him 10 years ago. The drinking has become a problem the last 2 years.
The reason I am divorcing him is so MY SON won’t have to suffer life with his alcoholic father in the home. I also can’t stop my husband from driving him while drunk!
How dare anyone say I’m the one who is hurting my child. Divorce is incredibly painful for all of us, but in the end I have to protect my child!

I need to get a divorce from my abusive husband. I have a daughter by him, even though she has my last name she is his. I would still need the perternity test to get child support. I will allow visitation rights under supervision. Because he also abuses drugs & alcohol. anyone know a good divorce attorney in Elyria,OH, or surrounding cities? I am only 20 yrs old, and don’t know how to do any of this. We have only been married for 9 months, and been seperated since sept.2006. He has been discharged out of the US Army because of his anger, and drug abuse. He lives in Bronx, NY, and we own no property together. I just want to move on with my life, but can only do that if I am completley divorced. Help please. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Me and my husband used to fight allot! The first time I left him was because he got really nasty when we used to fight. I realized how much I loved him and asked him for another chance… eventually after long hours of tears we were back together again. It went great the first month, then we started fighting again. We knew we should have gone to a marriage counselor, but we never did! After I asked him the one night if he want me and his kid or his alcohol he said his alcohol. I know he just said it because he was mad at me, but I was so stubborn and I left him again. It’s been 6months now and I still love him with all my heart, and I know it could work if we just get some counseling. But i’m afraid he’ll ask me why I left him and why I suddenly love him again… I don’t want to give him wrong answers or screw this up. Please help me, I love him.
He isn’t an alcoholic… Every weekend he would buy alcohol, and the last time he did it with our last money.
But he doesn’t need the alcohol every day or minute….So it doesn’t make him an alcoholic does it?

Having trouble communicating with daughters 12,15 & 18. I’ve been living by myself for the last year. Told I ask to many questions. Just trying to find out whats new in thier lives. Am I out of line ? Asked the 15 y.o. "how her sister was tonight" on the phone and she got lippy. 12 y.o. says she glad we didn’t get 50/50 parenting time over attemping to help her with homework. 18 y.o. suggests maybe everybody is stressed, final orders is 3 days away after over year of lawyers etc. 18 y.o. says I ask same questions"like how is everybody". I learned from that to talk about something else. still feel alot of resentment or something. Suggestions are welcome !
I didn’t and don’t want a divorce. Parental evaluator lists 4 causes of failed marriage. Communications, peri-menipause,my drinking and failing health of our mothers(both requiring lots of help (stress).
I made some poor choices drinking to cope with stress and physically assualted wife once in long, long term marriage. I’m accoutable for my choices and kids see I got help for anger, depression and alcohol (haven’t drank in 13 months, no desire). Wife just gave up, won’t even talk about reconcilliation. Justs wants divorce and vindictive and greedy. Not feeling self pity any longer, I changed because, I WAS WRONG and still love her. I know this isn’t the right thing to do, it’s out of my control. Just have faith some day she’ll talk and maybe. Any comments now ? Just want the best for kids and wife.

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy
session with four young mothers and their small
children. "You all have obsessions," he observed.

To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are
obsessed with eating. You’ve even named your daughter Candy.

"He turned to the second Mom, Ann: "Your obsession
is with money. Again, it manifests itself in your child’s name, Penny."

He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: "Your obsession
with alcohol. This too shows itself in your child’s
name, Brandy."

At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got
up, took her little boy by the hand and whispered,
"Come on, D.ick, we’re leaving."

We have been married for six years and I treat her like a Queen but she still cannot seem to be happy she has changed her medicines she now takes prozac she also drinks alcohol and cant seem to stop with just one drink .I know she has feelings for me she has agreed to try to work it out but it seems like I am the one with all the problems. We need counseling because someone other than me needs to tell her about the effects of her drinking with her disorder. I love this woman with all my heart But I am afraid her compulsive desicions are going to mess her life up and all I can do is sit back and watch. She is a wonderful person she deserves to get better.
