[RI] Other parent wants 50/50 ? hasnt rven been a month

State: RHODE ISLAND- What are the chances itll happen if she does manage to afford a lawyer? Long story very short- other parent (mom) had significant CPS history, drug history etc. We went to court on our own after the child witnessed abuse between mom and her bf. Court flat out gave my partner and I sole custody of the child (age 4) on august 19th. The irder states “by agreement the plantiff shall have sole custody and placemtn of the minor child”. NOW mom has decided she wants to try for 50/50. we JUST started getting 4yo back to being a kid, sleeping better, going to school and being happy in therpy etc. Mom was given supervised visits but left to another state 4 days after court. she has been doing supervised facetime calls since. 4yo is very VERY clearly disengaged from the conversations and all conversations are documented with length, behavior of mom and 4yo, type of convo etc (thanks cps for that advice) What are the chances mom gets 50/50? i know she definitely will need to put in some work but we are worried she will screw up again if she does get 50/50 as mom has already continued the SAME behavior that caused this to begin with. We just wanna know what to expect
