I live in Alabama.
I know I ask alot on here, and I appologize, but I can't afford a attorney right now. I wish I could, believe me.
I have my nieces child, I was awarded Legal Custodian. The mother owes child support and hasn't paid one penny. She always has excuses.
Anyways, none of that matters right now, what I am asking is, the mother has been late bringing her home everytime. Last time it was a hour. Tonight it was 2 1/2 hours. She called me at 6:10 and said they were going to leave, and that is only about 40 minutes from where I live.
I am tired of this, not to mention the childs bottom was really red, and she said it was all the poopies she had. I only sent 5 diapers and 10 wipes, so she would have to go buy her own supply, instead of expecting me to pay for everything. I really feel like she didn't change her that often, and even the child said she was soaked, as soon as I got her out of the vehicle, and the mom said, yes you was wet, but I changed you.
My child knows the difference between wet and soaked, because in the mornings, I tell her, you are soaked, lets change you, and in the day, I say you are wet, lets change you.
I had to bathe her, the child asked me to, to help her bottom feel better..it is that bad, and then I dried her and powdered it real good. It was so sad.
What I am trying to ask is, what can I do, I am out of money and I don't believe she is in the best care when she is with her mom, what can I possiably do now, without it costing to ask the Judge to either go back to supervised visits or take her parental rights away?
Please, someone help me, I can't take this anymore. Should I photograph her bottom for evidence, or is that considered child pornography...I don't wan't to sound stupid here, but I know how the mom lies about everything. She even wrote on the paperwork (I make her sign for the child in and out) that she told me she would bring the child home, because when she is with her, it is her resposibilty... She never said that once to me on the phone!
