My question:

I want to file for joint custody - full if I could get it.....I want to know "What am I in store for?"

I was behind on child support payments, but now I'm cut up. PRAISE THE LORD!!! I want joint custody, full custody.

My son's mother doesn't want to work. Last job she worked, she worked for 1 day. She receives unemployment checks while going to community college; which I heard was illegal. She gets money for going to school- about $1,200 every semister after books. She gets state's assistance, lives in a section 8 house; rent is about $6.00 And, she receives food stamps.

She makes more money than I do. I am so glad I'm through with back pay. I was bringing home $331.00 every two weeks while she wa receiving $301 every two weeks. Check this out though... I have to live off $662 a month ($400 rent, $150 utilities, $$hygeine, $$food, $$transportation, etc).

I want joint custody of my son. I have a two bedroom apartment with my finance. I want to know:

• Should I get a lawyer?
  
• What can I do to improve my chances getting custody?
  
• Should I marry first to improve my chances (off the record)?

Thanks in advance.

I feel like if you have written documentation, that is all you need. You and your kid's mother already agreed on custody. Keep all your documentation.

Good luck,
