I seen both!! I disagree that 6-8 weeks is enought to get someones life back on track when it takes 2 years to get on section 8 housing and so forth. Bottem line is it will all be up to the judge and of course herself.

I'm curious why you think it would take that long? Obtaining section 8 housing doesn't take nearly that long where I'm from. It has everything to do with the demand for it in a particular area and how many people are on the list waiting. Are you from the same state/city as the OP? Maybe that's why you're suggesting it has to take two years to get because you know the stats for her area. I dunno either way, just wanted to point out it absolutely doesn't take that long to get it elsewhere. Takes even less time to be accepted into a family friendly halfway house, which would be another likely acceptable alternative.
And I didn't say 6-8 weeks is long enough to get someone's life back on track. What I said was the four months this woman has already been in treatment, receiving services and assistance PLUS the 6-8 week time period this woman has left may be enough to convince a judge to give the kids back if she keeps up her sobriety. Here anyway that would be plenty of time to secure housing as well. As far as most judges are concerned that would be a good jump on getting a persons life back on track and kids back.
Any case could go either way though. The same exact scenario happening elsewhere could have a completely different outcome than this one might have. There's never a way to be completely sure unfortunately.
