Under What Circumstance Would A Judge Grant Full Custody Or Joint Custody Of A 3 Months Baby To An Ex Fiance?
who abadomed me while I was 3 months pregnant, resurfaced when I was 6 months and promised to be supportive , but was a fluke through out , in fact he left town two days to my delivery to go spend time with his mom,knowing very well I was close to my due date, so he missed the delivery .
he showed up late after the birth same day, in spite of the fact that I had a CS and had no family member close by he left me to care our son alone, only to show up every now and then to see baby, I let him spend time with him on Saturdays but that does not seem to be enough, he has boasted that he will file for custody (which he just did)because he wants more time with his son which is not true,he just does not want to pay child support and he has told me he will skip town if I make him.
I have applied for TRA and the process is almost complete,I wanted to get myself together and establish a routine for me and my son before I go to child support services to file,how ever now that he has filled for custody in the NJ family court, I plan to go file for child support first thing tomorrow morning
My question is, what are the things I need to do before the court hearing to ensure he absolutely does not share custody, nor get custody because I fear for the safety of my son(He suffers from clinical depression and gets off his medication without his Dr’s permission and when he does he tends to get manic, so I will absolutely not allow or want him being with my child alone nor share custody, supervised visitation rights is all I want him to get.
I need advice.
Usually the child is with the mother. Your son is with you now, so that’s one for you. You need to have your act together. Sounds like by your spelling and grammar your not the brightest crayon in the box, so you better have your act together. You need to present as many facts as you can as to why your ex fiance has to have SUPERVISED visitation. Hopefully you have some record of his threat to skip town if he has to pay child support. Document EVERYTHING your ex says and does, as to time, day, date, even the HOUR he does things. Get the support order filed–keep mr. ex busy in court. And TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR BABY!!!.
Pretty low, despite what they say, mothers still are more likely to retain custody of a child. Besides, your lawyer will argue that you ex is unsupporting and irresponsible.
