My boyfriends sons mom after 7 years is trying to come back in the picture, she was charged with neglecting of a child and never finished the guidelines set out for her before she was thrown in prison for 4 years for a stiff arm robbery. Without finishing the correct steps is she able to receive 50/50 custody?
While no one can offer you any guarantees or promises, given the history of you have posted, I doubt that the mother would be allowed equal placement of the child. She may be afforded some type of limited visitation or placement, that could be court ordered supervised for the protection of the child. If there is an issue as to placement, the court willl appoint a guardian ad litem and make recommendations to the court about her visitation. The GAL would interview both parties and if the child is age appropriate, the child(ren) as well. Custody refers to decision making. I assume you meant placement by your question posed.
