Your mom would have to speak with Child Protective Services and express her interest in having the children placed with her. There would be a home study of her home and if everything checked out, the court could place the children with her.

Financial instability is not a reason for denying custody or visitation. Also, your father should not have any impact on the decision unless he is a sex registrant or has domestic violence or cruelty to children in his background.

Your mom needs to contact the Child Protective Services caseworker to make herself available as a resource and to determine possible options.
