What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? ALABAMA
Non-Custodial father lives in FL. Custodial mother lives in AL. Father and mother have brought their child(this week) to TN. for treatment of brain tumor on optic nerve. Two specialists agreed that the child needed immediate treatment, but custodial mother refuses treatment. Mother returned to AL. and Father returned to FL. with the 6 yr. old child for his scheduled visitation.
When he returns the child on Sunday night to mother's house in Huntsville, what, if anything, can be done ASAP to return the child to Memphis for treatment? Both physicians in Memphis were privy to the mother's inappropriate behavior and insisted to that mother that her child needed immediate treatment there. Children and Family Services in Huntsville were called several months ago,and this issue was not rectified...this child has had this brain tumor for well over a year...even the dr's. questioned why the mother had not sought help..she is a drug user and alchoholic and has,during this year, endangered the life of this child...mother plowed into a parked Pepsi truck when high, resulting in the child's having emergency surgery to repair a ruptured spleen, ruptured intestines. How much longer will the law ALLOW this child to be overlooked??? What has to happen here? We will do ANYTHING!! Please help!!! Not only does the non-custodial father want immediate treatment for his daughter, but he wants custody, or at the very least, joint custody. He has a college degree, a job, and a home...mother has no job, lives with her parents.
We are DESPERATE!! Can ANYONE help, PLEASE!!????
