There are multiple jurisdictions, im awaiting an outcome from the judges to see which jurisdiction its being differed to. I know I need a lawyer unfortunately I dont think im going to be able to retain one in 17 days. I am the father currently have an emergency order here in Arizona and the mother gave her to me back in April. I moved from Florida in September of 05 in which we were both living together with our daughter. Her lawyer filed for an emergency pickup order but the reason she gave her to me was because she had an open department of childrens and family case for child abuse/neglect based on a chemical dependency/drug user. I have pictures of her doing drugs with her drug dealer, pictures of her and our daughter at the drug dealers house w/ drugs present in the picture as well as paraphanelia, and 2 other open criminal cases where violence was present. The law enforcement cases are still open pending further investigation and they took place since Ive had her out here. She rejected drug tests from DCF and acknowledged her drug problem and has been avoiding her drug classes. She has no stable home and I have proof of that along with her current address she has no bills going there, no change of address, and just moved in with him. Shes pregnant and makes a low income serving food for a restaurant. Im scared not only will my daughter find herself in danger being that mom's drug dealer sells meth but she has already had people run up on her in her car and beat her car in while trying to rip her out (1 1/2 months ago). My daughter is in danger and her lawyer isnt worrying about the best interest of anyone just his financial well being. We have court September 18th in which I just need a way to get this stuff to the judge before than or somehow miraculously retain a lawyer. Sorry to gossip about my problem but I am just seeking advice on a next step.
