Custody Issues / Re: child support
Jun 03, 2009, 05:09:24 PM
he makes more money? ok. he takes care of the child 51% of the time? why do you feel he should pay you if he takes care of the child over half the time? children are not income. unless i have mistaken what you are asking, it sounds like you want to be paid even though the father takes care of the child equal if not more than you?

she lives 15 hrs away, but now she is moving back to this area apparently. which changes some things. but she has no job, or a place of her own. she is staying with a friend. everything she has done and being done has been funded by an online stranger, I on the ohter hand have to sacrifice to fight it's really unfair after all this time. he has pretty decent report cards which i am hoping will show he is in a stable enviroment. She has not seen him in over two years, I want full physical custody do yout hink i have a good shot at getting it?

As far as the hospital is concerned it is documented she has proplems and problems with depression and suicide. I also have witnesses that are willing to testify to her abuse. She also got evicted from her apartment and abandoned her animls in the apt which should really show how iresponsible she can be. She really believes she will get joint physical custody, that is my biggest fear what do you think?

do you or anyone else think i have a good chance of getting physical custody? i also have 15 letters of testimony to file, which includes witness of her abuse. and support for me of my stable home i provide. she believs she will get joint custody, and i do not want that. like said i want supervised visitations for a good long while to start out. but my baby needs to live in my home. please any comments are very welcomed and i need support i'm going through the worst time of my life in fear of my sons well being.

well she showed up with a lawyer. which come ot find out was retained for her from one of her online boyfriends. they i got the the temp order, but they responded with joint custody with legal and physical. we had to talk to a triage person which set up two seperate two hr visits with our son this weekend. I am also getting counseling for my son, i want him to be okay mentally. my lawyer says she has no shot at custody, but i would like to hear from you guys as well on your thoughts. I am going to the womens refuge tomorrow, because a couple years back after we split my son and I went there for some help. due to the mom being VERY verbally abusive to both of us, but more so my baby. any advise?

well i went and retained a lawyer, in fact the best one in town. and he seems to think this is a slam dunk case. we will see, but at least i know my baby is safe from being snatched. I will have my temp orders signed by a judge friday.

thank you for the replys,

i have already filed for physical and legal custody. she stated she agreed to physical but wanted joint legal. Do you think i have a case for her not to have it? my family of course says i do but that doesn't mean anything. I plan on contacting attourneys asap. I have to protect my son. Do any of you think a judge would allow her to take him out of state after not seeing or talking to him for over two years? I also put in the papers she was a risk for taking him out of state, and visitation would have to be in california and in our county. any feedback on these questions? thank you!

hello here is alittle run down,
my ex lives out of state, she has not seen our son for well over two years. has not talked to him on the telephone, sent him christmas gifts or birthday gifts. she has a history of mental issues, she was even in the mental hospital a week or two due to telling her work she was considering using my gun on my son and myself then killing herself. i filed for divorce with legal and physical custody with reasonable visitations for her. She filed a response back agreeing to the physical custody but wants joint legal, and a set visitation schedule.

My problem comes with, my son does not know her. he is 7 now and the last time she saw him he was 4 years old. she lives in Arizona, i Live in Northern california where our son was born and raised. i am afraid she would attempt to steal him, i do not trust her what so ever. She drinks quite alot and is under medication. When i talked to her about the visitation asking her what she wanted, she stated she doesn't know yet. and by the time we enter mediation she would come up with something.

My son is doing excellent in school, is advancing in karate and is very well taken care of. I have many people offering to testify and write letters in our behalf after hearing of this. I even considered his school teachers. Any and all advise or comments welcome, thank you.
