If a mother loses three children because of drugs will she be able to keep her baby

Question

my son had a son with a mother that lost three children due to drugs is there a chance that she will get custoday back to her?

Answer 1

There is a chance that she could get her kid back but she will have to prove to the state that she is stable and she probly will have to do random drug testing for a long time. It will be a while until she could even be considered to gt custody back.

And for this new baby...she will be drug tested in the hospital and the courts will decide if she can keep it or not. A paternity test will also be done and the father (depending on his stability) will be given the option to keep the baby and have full custody.

Answer 2

It takes a lot of work to get your kids back.  I know of a lot of people who never can get clean enough to get their kids back.  Some states perform drug tests on mother's in that are in this situation.  Failed test means your newborn baby is taken away.  I have a cousin who lost 3 newborns immediately after they were born.  They were given to her brother for full legal adoption as well.

Answer 3

Every state and county has their own threshold for when they pull the plug on a parent. At the very least, she will probably be able to get supervised visits.

I know that your son is an angel. I have a son, too, and he's an angel. But sometimes angels make mistakes, and that can also play into this situation. I will say its a lucky father who gets more than weekend visits and that unless she's in prison or legally lost children in the past(rather than losing them in the womb), your son has an uphill climb.

Answer 4

Dear God, I hope not.  I guess it all depends on where she lives, whether she can prove she has cleaned up her act, and what kind of judge she gets when she appears in court.

Tell your son to get better taste in women.

Answer 5

Custody is always up in the air but if the child is in a happy home the courts don't like to change it. Mom is entitled to parenting time. So she can get visitation depending on how well she can care for child and herself.  

Answer 6

The only way for her to get custody back is to prove to the courts she is doing better and staying clean! Its not easy but it can be done!

Answer 7

You or your son should get custody of this baby. If she can't get it together, she shouldn't be raising this baby either.  

Answer 8

well there are a few options and thoughts here

1) if she's had previous children taken away, it doesn't NECESSARILY mean this one will be, but it could be an indicator

2) your son can file for custody

3) you can potentially get custody as well

good luck

Answer 9
