Myself and my wife live in Mobile, AL. She has 2 children (6&7) from a previous marriage and her and the ex share joint custody but this is not court ordered, its just an agreement between the two of them. Recently every time the children go stay with their father the get sent home from school almost every time for lice. His method for treating them is not washing their hair so then we are left with the problem. I can't tell you how many times we've had to treat them. Last Monday the kids were sent home AGAIN! This time he decided to treat them with dog shampoo. Now there whole face is broke out in a huge rash. He refuses to Beleive that he and his home are the problem. He wont treat himself or his home although I imagine if he did treat himself it wouldn't be with dog shampoo. The children did not attend school all week so he wouldnt have to deal with it and of course we inherit the problem yet again. This can not continue. We are going to have to file for custody and prevent them from being reinfested. He's libel to use gas next time. We can't really afford an attorney. Can someone please point me in the right direction before our children end up being hurt.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

They're not your children.

Mom is free to file for custody, but I'm not convinced that she'll get anything other than status quo.

(Use gas? Really? Drama?)

He has two threads going. But he did ignore the question regarding if this is the same wife from whom he has been separate for a year or so.
