6 months ago, my bf was diagnosed with epilepsy. We live in PA, & by law he is considered disabled & his drivers license was revoked & he is not allowed to work or drive until signed off by his neurologist until he is 6 months seizure free. His usual days with his son were monday night after school until about 7pm, tuesday as well, thursdays picked up from school & sleeps over & my bf drives him to school friday mornings, & then every other weekend. The time spent with both parents was pretty equal.
With no income & no way to pick his son up (we had a car that unfortunately died shortly after his diagnosis so I was doing the driving until that point) my bf is now only seeing his son every other weekend. His mother refuses to do any of the driving out of spite, even though 2 years ago when she couldnt afford to feed her child, my bf was going to her apartment & stocking her fridge to make sure her & his son were okay. Obviously those things are irrelevant to her now.
She is seeking full custody of their son. He recieved court date papers.
In my opinion, shes digging herself a grave & will end up laughed at down at court. Trying to remove a loving fathers relationship with his son all because he's down right now is absurd & cruel. Shes vindictive & even brainwashes her son who has told us that "mommy tells me not to talk to your girlfriend daddy, but i love her and i won't listen." It sad. I'm also a PA dept of health EMT for the city of philadelphiaa. He is more than safe with both of us. He is fed, showered, gets taken care off....it's just things are rough right now & we don't have much money or a way to get around to do much with him recently. But this has only been an issue for the past 6 months. My question, is, is it even possible for her to recieve & modify the childs custody? My bf is not ill-equipped to take care of his son. She's just trying to kick him while she's down. I can't see the courts granting her full custody. PLEASE HELP. There is no proof that he has been or ever will be a threat to his child. I can see a care standing possibly if they were alone together, & he were to have a seizure. But I am here every time his son is, & so is my boyfriends father. His seizures are also controlled by medication. He has not had one in 4 months.
