okay so heres the thing. the dad is in the marines and he only wants our son for the money. he is saying this isnt his baby. and he doesnt ever ask how the baby is doing or what is going on with the baby. and i dont want my son to be used for money. and i dont want my son to grow up around a bunch of alcoholics. and he only cares about drinking. so how should i go about getting full custady once the baby is born. ill be 30 weeks on the 18th of this month. so im getting close to haveing him. and i want to get everything ready for once he gets here.
i also need to know when i should start looking into getting a lawyer. i dont know if i should start looking around now. or if i should wait until closer to my due date. which is october 27th. i am only 17 and this is my pregnancy. and im high risk due to misscarrage a few months before i got pregnant. and i know that you could go early. so that is the thing thats got me really unsure on what to do.

My baby’s dad is an alcoholic and I know his liver is damage from his drinking, not only that I got an PFA on him for his abuse on me. I don’t want to hurt him with the baby I just want the courts to help me to order him to get treatments for his alcohol, depression and there is a chance that he is bi-polar. He is not ready to be a dad but he did watch my other son, while I worked on the weekends. The only bad side is he left my son home alone so he can go to the bar to drink and that is when the abuse started. I had to come home from work and did not make money because of his drinking. I want him to have supervised visitations because he will drink if he does not have his visitations supervise and with his drinking he will not be able to care for our baby. I going to file full sole custody of the baby next month so when the baby is born my attorney can schedule a hearing date for custody. Should I file child support in the baby’s dad’s condition. He has threaten suicide on me.
I’m young, (20), and married to a young man as well, (19). He has walked out several times just because he “doesn’t feel like being married anymore.” I always go after him and he comes back but later tells me he wishes I would just let him go. He left again this morning. We have a two year old child together. My question is, can I get full custody over our son? I am a stay at home mom, and have been that way the whole 2 and a half years we’ve been married. No boyfriends or drugs, alcohol, nothing like that. I love my son and can’t imagine him not being with me. I don’t care about child support. I just want to know that if we divorce, rather I will have my son?
I have a sticky situation. I have an eight year old little boy that has a meth addict for a Dad. I was married to his father for 3 yrs and I left due to his drug addiction. It’s been 4 long years since the divorce and his father still lives in a drug infested world. He doesn’t work and sells drugs to live and to support his habit. He periodically pays his child support but I have to beg him for it. I still have allowed him to get his son everyother weekend but only if he promises to stay at his grandmothers so i know there will be no drugs around my son. He doesn’t even have his own home. He sleeps other peoples couches if he sleeps at all. I have finally had it I can’t take it anymore. Sunday was our sons birthday and i took my son to eat at his favorite place. His dad showed just as we were leaving on his crotch rocket. I was going to go by the grocery to get some cupcakes for my son and his dad was to follow us there. Well on the way to the grocery store we were going around a curve on a two lane road and all of the suuden his dad flies right by us on the yellow line with on coming traffic and almost caused us to wreck. We turned around to see what was going on and the police were chasing him and he ran from them and got away. He does this illuding quite frequently. He is also on probabtion for 3 felony charges. I just think my son would be better off if his dad would go to rehab or jail to get straight. But in the mean time I really don’t feel comfortable sending my son with him anymore to stay for the weekend.
What should I do? And can I get full custody?

Her father is a career criminal that has been in and out of prison for the past 35 years. His offenses range from making meth to counterfeiting. Also a long history of making fake checks.
My wife seams to think that is it okay to have my son around him and I don’t. My wife has a serious gambling habit and has been “86″ from most of the casinos in our area. One casino sent a certified letter to us telling her she is not welcome on the property. I also had my bank call me and tell me that she was trying to cash a check she forged from my bank account.
My wife was supposed to take our son back yesterday but she never showed up and still hasn’t called (about 17 hours late so far). She is pro-per and I am trying to hire an attorney but haven’t yet because when she left she took every penny with her and left us dead broke..
There are many more disturbing facts but the ones I listed above should be enough to get custody I would think.
So my question is…can anyone give me advise on the best way to present my case and get custody of my son.
i am in the 12th grade and my baby dad is not with me and he wants to take my child from me but the problem is that is smoke marijuana and his girlfriend does crack what do i do i need help to keep my son i live with my mom and i have a stable house and i get ssi i know that i can be a good mom to my son please help me
I have been living apart from my husband since my son was born (16 months ago). He recently filed for divorce and wants joint custody of our son.
My husband is an alcoholic (as is his whole family, whome he lives with). His family is also involved in drug use. He has a 12 year old daughter who sees and is involved in the alcoholic-related activities at the home, and I DO NOT want that for my son. They drink cases upon cases of alcohol each week.
My husband has a long history of DUI and DWI incidents. He has also violated parole while on house arrest. (You see what kind of person he is.) He’s Brittish, so maybe he could be deported. 
I want my son to grow up in a home with good values where he is not exposed to such a life-style as my husband has.
SO… does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get full custody of my son. Private investigator? Good lawyer? Take refuge in Mexico? 
When me and my baby’s father broke up a month ago, he told me to go after child support, so i did. plus, if i didn’t medicare told me that if i didn’t go after child support they would take away my son’s insurance. so i had no choice in the matter anyways.
well, i guess someone from child support showed up at his house looking for him and now hes so mad he is telling me that is going to go for full custody.
i don’t think he has a chance to get my son but i still cant help but worry. i am diagnosed bipolar and i am unemployed right now but i am in a government program that helps young mothers find employment. i have been there everyday just like it would be a job. so those are the only two negative things i would have against me.
he has custody of his daughter from another woman and the only reason he has custody of her is because the mother smokes crack. he barely pays any attention to his poor daughter and he smokes weed around her and hes an alcoholic. i want to call CPS on him but if i did, he would know it was me. and he said if i did he would kill me.
what happens when someone goes for custody? do i really have anything to worry about?
i have lots of family and friends around. i have very little money but i have always came up with a way to give my baby everything he needs.
and I am sure that his father may argue this. I don’t want to keep my son from his father at all, but I am wanting to accept a job offer out of state, and if I stay in California, I don’t think it will be healthy for my son. His father is an alcoholic, and just got his 3rd DUI. He still continues to drink, and refuses to get help. He says he’s getting help, but he’s referring to his court ordered classes that he takes with the DUI school! He is still drunk some nights when I call him.
How will the court approach the alcoholism, and can I use that as a reason that I don’t want him to have full custody? I’m totally all for visitation, and have done all I can to ensure and support their relationship, but I have seriously had it with the drinking and don’t want my son around it! What can I do to ensure that he isn’t exposed to it?
When my husband and I started dating his son was still an infant. He kicked his ex girfriend out finally because she was abusive. Punching him in the faace over and over until he bled from his eyes and one night it was so bad he almost died. She was really bad with cocaine, crack and smoking weed so he just said this is not the environment our son needs and I honestly don’t even love you enough to make something like this work. Unfortunately for me this situation did not get any better. In the last almost 4 years I have had to deal with her being homeless, finding her a place to stay, making sure that I tucked in her son every night and told him that I loved him and mommy loved him too just so he wouldn’t wonder why mommy hadn’t called or came to get him in three weeks, I’ve delt with her crazy screaming fights over my husband trying to look out for the best interests of his child. She is honestly completely insane and has many many many mental problems. She has a very long history of abuse with her family and witnessed her father kill her mother so it’s understandable that she would be a little off balance, but I have taken up her slack and raised her child to what he is. We have custody and when she is stable enough we trade him off every other week so she gets him an equal time, but she is barely ever stable enough to do this. She just called today to get him for the weekend because she said she just got a new apartment. This will be her 6th home in 4 months and it’s beginning to confuse my step son. He will go by his old homes and think she still lives there and want to see her, or go to her old jobs and think she still works there and cry until we go in so he can see she isn’t there. She hasn’t been able to keep a steady living environment because she is hooked on drugs so bad she can’t keep a job. She is about to probably go to jail for shopliffting fromher last job. She says she doesn’t do drugs around her son and that when she has him he is safe and happy. I honestly don’t believe it. i have had to buy groceries for her before because she couldn’t feed him. Or go out and buy clothes for him just so she would have something for him to wear. I’m just honestly getting tired of it all. my husband wants his son to have his mother because he never really had his and mine was absent for a very long time. but this environment is not good for him at all. I want my husband to make it so she has to have special visitation rights until we know that she is stable enough to care for him and I’m not sure how to go about saying this to him. He’s afraid she will take off with his son and honestly he is probably right and she would try. I just am at a loss as to what to do.
The only thing on her record is a possession charge from two years ago and then the most recent shopliffting so proving all of this to a judge would require some witnesses. it’s possible but my husband and I both have such a hard time with the idea of dragging such a little boy through this. I feel bad to say it but I do hope she goes to jail for shopliffting and hopefully it straightens her out.
