Sole custody

So I am thinking about going for sole custody of my son since his father doesn't even try and I think he's lying about his relationship with his child to his family. I want nothing to do with him. I am struggling really bad at the moment but I dont need him picking and choosing when to deal with my child cause it's giving mw flase hope on him actually being there for his child when he needs to be when I am trying to handle things. Am I wrong to think this? My phone is off and rent is late but I put my son #1 in everything. But he lives with his uncle and gets to choose when to be a dad? And he doesn't think he's a deadbeat

Show your support

Sorry to hear but you have every right to do what’s best for you and your son. Especially if that means putting him on child support so that you are not struggling so much. Also there are many free resources that I came upon when I was single mom and child’s father was not helping. Not sure what state you are in but food stamps, CCDF if you are working or are in school for free or low cost child care, WIC, etc. lots of programs are available to help you get to where you need to be. Good luck!

@Brenda thank you🫶🏿

@Brenda, hey, what's ccdf?

Kaylla, it might be called something else in other states but it’s pretty much a Child Daycare program where they financially provide for free or low cost daycare at daycares that accept the program. I had both my kids when they were little in an amazing private Christian Daycare that was honestly so great and my kids loved it there. It was free while I was in college and even when I started working it was still very very affordable for me. This really did help me be in school and work as well. I’d google something along the lines of “free state child care” or maybe even ccdf in your state and see what comes up.
