text: legal question...i left my sons dad and im afraid he'll try and file for temporary custody..? can he go down and file for temporary custody and be granted it on the spot, with no source of prove-able income..( he sells drugs ..recently found out...and he scraps metal regularly for money) will they give it to him ? does he have to prove me an unfit mother in order to get that ? you really should check with a lawyer.  you can't possibly give us enough information here and a judge will want to hear both sides of the story  for sure so your son's dad  will have a right to state his case .... definitely seek legal advice ....
