Hi,
My brother recently became a father to a little girl. The mother already has 2 boys and they are terrible kids. They run riot and she has no control of them. She also has a history of mental health issues, which until shortly after she was born, he had yet to see. She put it down to post natal depression which he believed, however, her mother says that 100% isn't that case and she has a long history of problems like this.
A couple of weeks ago his ex called DOCS and said she didn't want their daughter and for my brother to have sole custody of children after she had a massive breakdown yelling and screaming at him, while also barring anybody but him and her to see her (she's still in hospital as she was born premature).
He has tried to make things right so that his daughter can grow up in a family environment, give her a chance to get herself together, treat him properly as well as his house and control her boys after telling her to pack her bags and leave, but it's become obvious this won't be at all possible and looking likely he will end up having to get her to move out.
The house is his; he brought it before they met. His only concern is that if this was to happen that he would have very little access to see her legally even though everybody who knows of the situation vows that he's done everything right to try and make it work and she's completely in the wrong and not fit to raise a newborn.
I should also point out she refuses to get any professional help because she thinks nothing's wrong with her.
Just wanting to know what sort of rights he has.
