Long story short, me and my ex were addicts.got our first son taken from us due to us being addicts and our rights were terminated.had our second kid and he was taken into foster care.our third died and she was only 6 month gestation.our fourth was delivered at 7 months due to my ex going on a heroin binge and OD.she was born addicted but otherwise healthy.ive gotten custody back of my second and i had custody of my fourth since the OD.my ex died one day after she was admitted to the er due to heart failure (one day after our fourth was born)

this happened 13 months ago.

since finding out about our fourth pregnancy, ive gotten clean and have been clean ever since.i have a stable job and a good job at that (thanks to never being caught up in jail by the drugs) and I rent a three bedroom house.Ive started seeing this girl and I think she might be the one.she is a nurse and she also works for the peace corps so she is defiantly a good influence.she also has a little boy my sons age and they get along great.both of my kids are doing great.hannah doesn’t show any complications from her traumatic birth or the drug use and she is actually a pretty smart little girl.

but trouble is brewing with my ex’s cousin, the one that fostered and then adopted my first kid.she has filed for custody of my two kids claiming that i am a drug addict, that i am unfit and that i caused my third baby’s death by making BS story that i punched my ex after getting her high and pushing her down the stairs because she was cheating on me which never even happened in the first place.

she further goes on to say that i am not a good father and i can never give them what they deserve.that she is married and have a nice christian household to raise the kids in.

my question is, how far can she get with the load of crap? Ive had my job for 7 months.We are drug tested every month, so they would already have that on record.my house is clean, probably the only good that came out of being a addict and it stuck lol.my kids are happy and thriving.after school, they go to my moms until I get off work.yes, they may not have their mom in their life, but they are doing just fine.I never corrupted her, she was already doing drugs when i met her but i do know that this was recently wihtin a years time and i dont know how the courts will take to it.

any suggestions?
