Ex in-laws what to help**************..

My ex wifes sister called me and wants to help me get custody of my two children. My ex is using drugs and is not taking care of the children. My ex wifes sister told me she has been wanting to tell me about her sisters drug habit but did not want to betray her sister. Now she can not stand how the children are being taken care of and when she was over at my ex's wifes house my ex tells the kids to go to the a room or my ex and her friends go to the room but she tells the kids do not come out until I say so, she told them to do that so she could do drugs. My ex's sister left her house very upset and that is when she knew she had to think about the children before her sister. I want to know how can her sister help me? She is going to write a letter stating the information she has told me. I am in the process of trying to get custody with out a lawyer its going very slow. My ex's sister said her drug habit is very bad she is smoking meth. Should I file for emergency custody of the children now and can I use the my ex sister-laws information to do so? She is willing to help me because she loves my kids too and they are in danger to her and me. Please help. Thank you for your time.

My response:

The "letter" will have no force or effect if her signature isn't Notarized, or if there is no "jurat" - - e.g., "I declare, under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the State of _________, that the foregoing is true, correct, and personally known to me. If called upon to testify thereto, I could and would do so competently." (Date and Signature)

Then, get in to see an attorney to get you into court as fast as your legs will get you there, and subpoena your sister-in-law for testimony (I know, you've got the letter - - but, that's only an "insurance policy" if she decides to do a "change-up" on you if she decides to change her mind about the facts - - and besides, a letter can't be cross-examined in court). You'll be Petitioning the court for a change in permanent custody.

Immediately though, if this is true, call Social Services and report this matter to them and they will go to her home and grab up the children for delivery to you.

Good luck.

Thank you for the information. Child Protection Services has been to my ex wifes home, she herself told me that because she thought I had called but did not. Should I call and talk to them about this matter? I have told my ex sister-in-law to do what you explained I had told her that when she called me. I knew I could not use the letter with out it. I hope this is my chance I have tryed everything else and getting to court is a long process when you have know lawyer. My ex sister-in-law is going to call Child Protection Service. I hope things work out so my children will be in a safe place, I have worried so much about them. My ex wifes family have been lied to about me and the reasons why I want my children and they have been agaist me. Talking with my ex-sister-in-law knowing now that a least one see's that the kids are not being taken care of gives me hope. She knows now this is not about getting back at my ex wife its about my children and protecting them. Like I say tough love my be the only way to help or start helping someone who can't realize it them self. I hope I can turn around what is happening to the children and help them cop its been hard on them through the divorce. I'm just a dad who wants to give his kids a fighting chance in life, love them, and teach them morals while they are still young. Anybody's input is wellcome and a big thanks to everyone who does**************...
