Why Is It When the Father Has Custody, a Mother Can Take the Child, Claiming Abuse, but the Father Can’t?

Question by : Why is it when the father has custody, a mother can take the child, claiming abuse, but the father can’t?
Of interest, this involves my own daughter and her ex. There are times when you have to love your children; however, you do not like them much. My daughter is not a good mother. She prioritizes having the latest model of cell phone tech, along with a $ 160 a month phone bill, than to keep the utilities on. She has an open door police to every type of low life. The boyfriend she moved in the day she kicked her husband out has never had a job, uses drugs, and once tried to commit suicide in the house, though the children were not there at the time. Her house is a constant environmental disaster. Dishes get done and there are no more to use. Laundry can cover all except the pathways of travel on the floor.

Missouri Dept, of Family Services say they don’t have the money to place my grandchildren in foster care, however they told the ex he could not keep his child (the youngest) at the end of the extended summer visitation, which ends tomorrow. He’s in Texas, which is where my daughter moved from with the grandkids.

Over the years, I’ve seen many cases where mothers have taken the children away from custodial fathers, with just a “claim“ of alleged abuse, and no evidence. I live in a nursing home, so I can’t take them, and my ex can’t as she’s serving time for embezzlement. Yes, my daughter learned her habits from her mother. Her mother did they same thing to me 30 years ago.
Today there was a hearing, without the knowledge of my daughter. I was on the phone hookup. The judge even stated that he had a couple of things family services didn’t know about, though he didn’t elaborate. They told the father that he has to send the girl back and that after they officially take the children, than he can petition for custody. As for filing a straight out petition, he does not have the money to hire an attorney here to handle it.

Answer by .02 REMAINS
Because the world’s worst mother or wife is still a much more capable and competant parent or partner than the world’s best father or husband.

At least in the eyes of family court, which you should have learned 30 years ago.
