Question about signing dependency paper for custody of a child?
My mother has filed to receive temporary custody of my daughter while my daughters father is filing to get sole custody of her, they have filed what is called a "dependency clasue" paper stating i am unable to care for her. all of this done for reasons that will take alot of typing to explain. it is not that i cant care for her or that i haven;t taken good care of her bc i have, she is very hard to control and has done better with living with her dad. my question is i also have a son, not by same dad, i want to know if they can say that because i let my mom have temp custody of her under that depend thing can they come back and say that maybe i cant care for my son either? i have plenty of people that would always say i have always provided excellent care of both my kids, which i have, just want to be sure i am prepared for anything that might happen bc of this. any advice or tips helpful. thanks.

No, they can not come back and tak e your son. However, the biological father of your son if he found out could try to get custody and he would claim you are unfit since you gave your daughter to the care of someone else. BUT he would have to prove you unfit. You simply giving guardianship of your daughter to your mother/father does not mean you are unfit.
This should NOT impact any custody with your son.
Good Luck!

I'm not sure, but the best thing to do would be to contact a lawyer. I think the only person that could contest your son's custody would be his biological father.
