Quite possibly, but all of the circumstance need to be know before I could give you a file opinion. With your ex in jail the children should be with you now.

All of this is helpful. But you need to act now so that you can prove to the court that you are acting in the child's best interests and that you are trying to protect the child.

File for a hearing to modify custody, subpoena her mother to testify in court or get her to do a declaration under penalty of perjury.
