"i dont know exactly what im here for if not just to vent"
There's a lot of that here. It's perfectly acceptable.

"thank you"
You're welcome. It seems to me that, based on what you've posted, it's in your child's best interest not to have Mom as the primary decision-maker in her life. That being the case, you need to win custody. Do you have a plan for doing that? Has your attorney given you any ideas about what works in your favor and what works against you? If so, has (s)he given you any idea what sort of evidence would be pursuasive?

"i have NO IDEA WHAT THE PI IS FOR"
I have a vision of you holding a conversation with the PI:
in_okla_2: Hi, I would like to hire you.
PI: What would you like me to do?
in_okla_2: Ummm...follow my wife around.
PI: Do you suspect infidelity?
in_okla_2: Well, we're in the midst of a divorce, and I know she's sleeping with one guy after another, but we had an open marriage before that, so I really don't need evidence of that.
PI: What do you need evidence of?
in_okla_2: Ummm...I don't know. My attorney just told me to hire a PI for 2-3 months.
PI: Is this a joke?

"why i allowed my child to live there for the past 1 1/2 yrs"
Your response is, "That's what was in the temporary order. I haven't tried to do anything before now because while I don't think she's a good parent, she wasn't doing anything directly harmful or negligent to the child. However, last week was the first time I've dropped the kid off that she has been clearly intoxicated."

You appear to have several things working against you:
1) You own a penis. Most courts consider the single most important factor in parenting to be the ownership of a vagina.
2) You left the house. I don't care what she called and told you, that was your house, and you had every right to be in it. There's nothing you can do about that now, but you should clearly understand your obstacles.
3) Mom has had primary custody throughout the temporary orders. Judges typically want to stick with the status quo, provided that the status quo is working. It's up to you to show that it's not.

You'll want to build a case around the following:
1) Mom likes to get doped up. Whether the pills are legal or not, Mom needs to be in command of her senses to care for a 6-year-old.
2) Mom runs boyfriends in and out of the house. Judges typically don't care how promiscuous the parents are, so long as they keep it where the kids can't see it. You need to show that it's an unstable situation.
3) You make more money than Mom. How does she pay her bills? Even with the child support, can she provide for herself, much less the kid?
There may be other things. You need to sit down and make a list of your pros and cons, and do the same for your wife. Figure out which of these are more important than the others and focus on getting evidence for your pros and her cons. For her pros (e.g. vagina) and your cons (e.g. work lots), assume she'll have evidence, and you'll need to be prepared to refute that evidence. Also be prepared to show why those things aren't really very important.

She pays bills by DISABILITY, and CHILDSUPPORT. Disability...is however i believe a fraud, but how do i prove it...how can i find out what its for? she tells lies, she has the landlord bring her food (working on his emotions, whitch she is good at coniving and sympothy) this i heard from my child "he sometimes brings us food, cause mommy doesnt have money"...oh i was PO'D....i am thinking of taking copies of the support to the landlord, but that would be "just to prove my side" like i said, she has another case of ... unfit parent, on her other child... i'm just kinda hoping that goes thru so i can use that too.... she sold my stuff and tells people "the divorce was final and i won this stuff, and i dont need it" so i filed contempt... is the "disability, something medical, that i can use for my advantage, does it hinder her ability to take car of my child? that is another question

If she claims disability, you have the right to know what the disability is and how it affects her parental ability. Your attorney should long ago have asked for discovery regarding her medical records generally and her disability specifically.
