Question Details: My boyfriend says he was deemed an unfit parent so doesn't have custody. we found out today that the mother locks the kids in the bathroom and turns out the light, they also say that her boyfriend beats them and throws them in a corner for time out. He has threatened us (which we have recorded). The kids aren't happy and they say they don't want to live with them, She has had defax called 8 times by her own family but still has custody. She doesn't do anything with the kids and the kids put up a fight going back with he. What can we do? More info if needed
You said "getting a divorce" - so the custody hasn't been finally decided. It would matter a great deal as to "why" he was deemed unfit. But since he obviously still has some physical custody or he wouldn't be seeing them, it doesn't sound like he was deemed unfit. You should talk to your attorney and make sure he/she knows about this situation.
If you don't have an attorney, I would strongly urge you to get one, for the kids sake.

Are you a lawyer?
