I am on SSD for mental illness as of August of this year. I am bi-polar. I have not been in the hospital since june of this year and am on medication. My mother has had my kids (13 and 4) for two years because she thinks I am unfit. I gave her temporary guardianship because I thought it was the best thing (at that time for the kids). Now she is telling me that I can't raise kids if I can't work (not financially, but mentally). Does anyone have any idea about the legal aspect of this? I can't find anything online that sets any sort of precedent. I can't afford a lawyer because I am too low income.
Thanks, Julie

all i know is, i have major depression and i have since after my first son was born 10 years ago. actually started as post partum. now i am divorcing . i also have 9 year old. my attorney told me that as long as im "Functioning" she'd be able to get me custody. and the family relations guy said to stbx that it isnt a huge issue unless thare is say for instance a schitzophranic who has no clue what s going on and can noct function to care for the kids . stbx tried to make it an issue in our meeting . mind you this has been treated for the whole 10 years and i visit doctors an dtherapists regualarly. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET YOUR CHILDREN BACK>
