Hi, I am looking for any help/advice/information to help mine and my fiance's case. My fiance has a daughter with his ex, they were never married, and he was in her life til she was 2. Both him and his ex back than, did do drugs, and didn't get along. She cheated on him multiple times, and ended up not letting him or even his mother see their daughter anymore unless he was with her (relationship wise). My fiance moved out of the area, and for the last 5 years has gotten clean from hard drugs, doesn't drink very much at all, we have a house together, we both work, we are in a stable situation. We have recently reconnected with one of his brothers and sister in laws, who were friends with his ex. They informed us that his ex is still doing drugs, last time they knew, she was on heroine, and working at a sex shop. I have been with my fiance for about 2 and 1/2 years now, and I know that he misses and loves his daughter more than anything. He has cried over not seeing her. Over missing so much of her life. And now that he is stable, and knows that she is not in a good living environment, we want to try and get some sort of custody of her. He signed the birth certificate, and was part of her life for the first 2 years. What I have seen him with our nieces and nephews, and know that he was and will be a great father. What are the steps we should take? Please, any help would be much appreciated.
