Hi
I would have said that you should contact Children's Services as soon as possible - it's quite likely that they stopped monitoring because they were happy that with you around, your child was safe, and that has now all changed. I would let them know that you would like to apply for residence - that way they have an 'easy option' if they remove your child from the mother.
I would also contact the Scottish Child Law Centre - http://www.sclc.org.uk for some legal advice on this.
