how old is the child? even in the early teens they can request living with the other parent-you all. if the child still prefers the current living arrangement i don't believe you can do anything else unless you can prove in court the mother is negligent. as for the ex being on welfare can you advise them of the situation and the mother not making an effort to work? i wonder if this may help. wish i could be more helpful. you've already tried the avenues to get help tho. sorry for you having to face this situation. i know it is worrisome and frustrating. you may have to sit this one out.
