Child Custody of children to a father but never been married?
tatoogirl2008 asked:
What rights does a father have if the mother of a child(ren) did illegal drugs and the children were taken away. Then a court order gave the children to the father and the mother could have no contact unless the father was present, and she has no custody, but this was only for 2 months. There was no child support filed and the only thing that proves he cares for them is the cps paper saying he is the sole caregiver for the 2 children. What can he do to take full custody of the children?

It sounds like he does have full custody, If not, Go to the courts and file for full custody and then go file for child support. Best of luck!
get an attorney fast,if the mother has been in jail for the drugs that would help his case also. The fact that he is and has provided for their home and needs without her help is also in his favor.
Get a lawyer and go to court. This should be pretty easy since he was already awarded full custody (even if it was temporary) by the courts.
If the mom chooses drugs over her children, then she really doesn’t deserve to have the children anyway…don’t you agree?
Sounds like you need to file for full custody and go to court. I would definitely get a lawyer. Good luck!!
In order to be an official custodial parent of the children he needs to go to court and request a paternity test. If the results are clear that the children are his, He can then be the official custodial parent due to the fact that the children were taken away from the mother that is if he does not have a criminal record of any sort. He will be able to take his children from where they are living and then the mother needs to pay child support. Good Luck.
