okay, i am a 21 year old mother of two with a past of herion addiction. when i was 17 i had my first daughter and when i was going on 19 with my second daughter i had gotten sucked into addiction and to prevent my daughters being separated or to be put threw the system my mother and i had decided that with my second daughters father being on drugs also then it would be best to protect the welfare of my children by giving her custody. my first daughters father had not been so easy and he decided that he was not going to sign over custody and now currently he has full custody after taking my mother to court and the judge had granted my daughter to him. now i am clean , prior to being sober my mother had filed and was granted a restraining order agaisnt me that kept me away from the household which 4 minors were living in (2 being my minor siblings and 1 of which fully residing my youngest and the other my oldest which my mother gets for visitation) i had gone to a 30 day rehab and am now able to pass drug test which i as of yesterday requested for the jugde to require to prove i have nothing to hide when it comes to me sincerely wanting to be actively in my childrens life. unfourtunatly was not able to live under my mothers roof after the restraining order was dropped because of a slip up so she had asked me to leave.
now i will get into questions
1) can my mother get a restraining order put back into effect because of a documented relapse
2) when i go into court (understanding completely that i shouldnt jump straight into taking custody i just want to ease into being a mother) but how long would i need to wait to take my mother to court in requesting custody
3) if i can recieve custody of my youngest although the father has also given custody to my mother does that mean that he recieves back custody if i take it from my mother (i read somewhere that the person whom has custody must be redeemed unfit to revoke custody back to the parent. is this true? do i have to prove my mother unfit? will he be awarded custody even with having a current drug problem?)
4) how much time needs to pass before my mother would be considered a "phychological parent"?
