My wife's ex is in jail for DUI for the next 6 month, and I'm wondering if the time is right to try to modify custody?
He's thousands behind on child support (they were divorced 6 years ago or so), and always claims imaginary medical problems which prohibit him from keeping a steady job. He takes her two kids for one weekend a month, even though he has the right to another visit each month. Much of the time he just drops them off at his parents. He's had his license taken away several times, and can't drive in the state of GA anymore, so he has to have his parents drive him. Apparently he won't be able to drive in NC (where he lives) anymore either.
Since some of the original orders called for supervised visitation only because of alcohol and drug abuse issues, I'm wondering if this newest conviction and jail time as evidence that it's still a problem can help eliminate visitation or at least modify it back to very short, supervised visits.
In a related question, could I be named the children's legal guardian? How could I make this happen?
Thanks!
