Re: Preventing Social Service Intervention
You don't say what your husband's "legal trouble"
is(or was). If it's drug related, for example, the
commomwealth attorney could conclude correctly that your child might be endangered.
If I were you, I would take physical custody of the child for a while until this matter "blows over", so to speak. However, before returning the child to his father, you should carefully consider
whether the child could in fact be in danger
in any way by being with his father.
