Custody battle
Show your support
@Jillian Okay thank you
I would say that courts favoring mothers is not true. It’s definitely based on where you live. But him not being on the BC means that he had to prove paternity in order to get visitation. You’re definitely better off getting info from a lawyer because they will know your area court system better. If you can prove the reasoning behind you leaving you will likely get physical custody and he will get visitation. They won’t allow him to add his name to the birth certificate until he proves he is the father, which would have to be through a DNA test. You’re allowed to keep your child without switching until their is an agreement in the court system but know that means he can do that same so if he picks up your kid for any reason please be aware there is a chance he tries to keep them until their is a court order in place. Just be careful.
since he’s not on the birth certificate go file for some custody problem solved
custody battle for me looked like every other weekend, for others it maybe every weekend. i’ve also seen week on week off, full school breaks and summer vacations….. really whatever you can agree on .
Unless he can prove that you are an unfit mother (abusive to your child or some kind of addict) the court will always favor the mother with custody. Especially if he is not on the birth certificate. Start to write down everything and keep track. When you left why you left. When he has your child for how long. What you do to take care of your child. Talk to a lawyer. I think the norm is 2 days for the father unless you agree on something else. I am not divorced yet but I am legally separated since January 2024. My husband and I went to a lawyer and had a legal agreement written up stating we don't live together anymore. He gave me full custody without even fighting, just handed it to me. It states I have full custody. I make all the decisions for my daughter and take care of her full time. My ex gets her once a week from 10am-6pm, That's it. We agree upon holidays before hand. He gives me child support each Friday via zelle. It's stayed in our agreement on how much and when he give it's to me.
