Hi all,
I divorced in August 2009 and I agreed to have my child (who is 3 years old) for every other weekend. 2 months have passed and I realise that this is not what I want and miss him dearly. I asked my wife to change it to joint legal/custody, but to be honest she just wants the money from me.
We live in Denver Colorado and I want to file to get joint custody. Will my chances be good even if I agreed with my wife that she could have my child? I was in a mess when it came to the divorce and I was not thinking straight. I deeply regret that decision and my wife has been terrible to me ever since.
I am trying to work it out fairly, but have come to the conclussion that this will not work with how my wife looks at things.
I have had a steady well paid job as does she although I earn 3 times as much. I have a great apartment and she lives with her mum. I have no convictions or anything terrible in my history, nor does she.
Please help me in getting my child back. I feel it is fair and why would a court not understand that it is both the parents right to have the child. It is right for the child and he will have a healthy upbringing if we can both look after him 50% of the time.
Thanks,
Gibgob
