Yes. You should be able to get custody. You must allege that the children’s circumstances significantly impair their physical health or emotional well-being. Request that the court order the parents be tested for drugs. Hair or nail test. Before filing suit try first to convince the parents to allow the kids to live with you temporarily. Then when you go to court you have a stronger case for custody. Even without that, however, you should get the children out of that home.
