Michelle's Question: I was granted emergency custody of my children. My ex-husband had custody for 6 1/2 years. He went to jail for beating up his new wife and hurting her little boy. 2 weeks later his wife tried killing him, leaving him in the hospital for 3 months. Now a couple of days ago I made a mistake and got behind the wheel of a car after having a few drinks and got a DUI. I am scared that the judge is going to give them back to him. Brette's Answer: First of all, the only way the judge would know is if your ex tried to use that as a reason for a change in custody. It sounds to me like the kids would be in far more danger in his household than yours. However, if you are really concerned, you ought to do something that shows you are taking your arrest seriously - join AA or another treatment program to show you are taking steps to keep it from ever happening again.
