What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My other thread was closed, but this is about something else.
My attorney is busy, and hasn't called me back since I found out about dad's criminal charges. I want to file for temporary custody until the outcome of our trial on Jan 19th. My attorney mentioned filing for temp custody, but that was before knowing of dad's charges.
My concerns: dad's irrarional behavior, abusive language towards me, and other people, bizarre discussions of being "two people in one body" and his talk of conspiracy theories and how everyone is against him. Along with all this, dad has been convicted of having a loaded weapon in his vehicle. He served jail time for this offense, during a week which was his scheduled visitation week. So in other words, while dad was in jail, someone else excersized his visitation time with daughter. Dad's license is suspended, and he has no insurance. Since this conviction, I and other people have seen dad driving.
On Sunday, I called the police because Dad continued to call my house, after he spoke to daughter, and me. He got ugly, and irate made vague threats. I asked him to not call back, but he continued to call. He left a few messages, and we eventually unplugged our phone. A police officer called me back, who spoke to dad about a year ago for acting in this same manor. Police made a report, and noted that dad has a conviction with a firearm.
With dad's odd behavior, and conviction of having a loaded weapon in his car, I am fearful that he will snap. The courts have observed his unstable behavior in the past.
Are these enough to file for temporary custody as we lead up to trial?
