Custody Issues / Re: laws on housing for children
Aug 24, 2011, 11:50:35 AM
yes i have told my lawyer, and yes i have had him... i guess the talk the police had with her must have done something because she agreed to this verbal agreement with me,
tue-  i pick him up from bus, drop him off to school wed
thur- i pick him up from bus, drop him off to school fri
and everyother weekend i have him fri sat and she picks him up sunday evening
so it is pretty even with that....  after we made this agreement a few weeks ago we have barely spoken with each other.  i dont know if it makes a difference but she partys every chance she gets, and has just recently started focusing on our son.
now im not sure when the new court date is, it has had 2 continuances, and the last one was on the 18th of august. we have not had 1 court date yet, so im thinking the next one will probably be near the beggining of september.

my son is definitely my main focus, and my priority, everything else can wait. i want to do everything the correct way, i try to read all the parenting stuff i can and get other opinions on decisions just to see if i am making the correct ones. i try to research everything when giving him information on questions he has because i never want to feed him with false/incorrect answers. i try to do whatever i can, we do homework everynight i have him, all through the summer and now that he is back into school. so im thinking it might be best for me to move back into my moms house so he has his own room and i can sleep on the couch. i just wanted to be able to prove i could take care of him on my own. we do 50/50 visitation as of now, but she still trys to control that. i just hope the court date comes soon so she cant make the rules as we go. 2 weeks ago i was supposed to pick him up, i went to get him he was screaming in there house her mom was holding him in the room so he couldnt get to me, my X said you cant have him, she didnt have a good reason to why well the police came it was a big ordeal, i did nothing to get in trouble i just left. well she told one of her friends the next day she did it because i had my girlfriend with me when i dropped him off, and she thought that wasnt right. so once again she just uses him to hurt me.  its it is the worst pain!

thanks for the replys, this stuff is just so complicated, im just trying to do everything the correct way and i cant afford nothing on my own yet, due to the fact i am still paying on the house my wife and i had together.

thank you for your input, the week on week off thing is from what our lawyers came to an agreement with until the court date, but she doesnt want that she is wanting to fight for full custody. So i just want to be ready for anything thrown my way, and be prepared just incase i was to get him or whatever would help to get him.

well we have not been through the custody stuff yet, so we are kinda doing week on week off, but im trying to be optomistic and planning for him to live with me. So what i do now is i have a futon for him in the living room and a small dressor with his toy box all next to it, its like he has his own little area there, the girls who are with there mom full time so they live with us they have there own room. Girls ages are 2 and 3, my son is 6. My girlfriend and i will sacrifice the extra bedroom for him and we will take the living room if that will work? But i wonder if i would be best getting a 3 bedroom place somewhere??
thanks for your response

i am trying to find a place to stay with my girlfriend and her 2 daughters and my son. i am wondering if we have a 2 bedroom apartment and give the 2 girls one room, and my son the other, then we just make our room out of the living room area if that would be ok with the courts?  i am going through a custody fight with my sons mom and i want to make sure i do everything correctly. It is really hard to find something with 3 bedrooms that we can afford in our area. we live in indiana also.
thanks
