CUSTODY IN USA

Anyone that has been through this?? Babies dad and I are splitting up. He demands we do 50/50 custody/visitation. I don’t want sole custody or whatever but since this baby has been born I am 100 percent with him more, care for him more, play with him more. Especially since he got in an accident before thanksgiving I have had no update on the status and he has had no vehicle since I have picked up all transportation for the baby without even being ASKED! I handle where baby is going to his moms etc which he also says because it’s his mom who watches him and because HE makes more that they will view him in better light. If you want this baby so badly why don’t you show it more??? Is this a control thing? This baby needs me period

I make 60k maybe a bit more a year he makes 80k about. Why would he do this to me?

I’m currently in a custody battle and all I can say is document EVERYTHING. Every text that he’s being rude in. Every time it’s you instead of him getting and caring for baby. Even if that’s just taking pics with location on them. Any bump or scratch baby has when he comes back to you. If bd has a new partner, how they treat baby. Literally everything.

If you have any questions you can always message me!!

Keep receipts of expenses that you do for baby. And if he provides anything. if you have any info of a paystub keep evidence of that as well Sometimes they quit and try to get a low income job to not pay a lot.

You’ll be wasting your time and money battling in court. If you truly aren’t seeking sole custody of your child then don’t concern yourself with details during the Father’s parenting time that don’t affect the happiness of your child. I’m sure the child enjoys time with Grandma and a judge will see it that way. So long as your child is not in harms way than stay out of it. In regard to transportation don’t provide it unless it’s your parenting time if it’s an inconvenience to you or a cost to you. I’ve been through this and don’t get wrapped up in the nastiness

We currently live together I just find it harsh that our baby is not even 6 months and after all I do that he clearly doesn’t want to do that we can’t work out an agreement while baby is this young to be with me slightly more. I have poured everything into this baby and he wants a new family with this other girl anyway. This is forcibly my last child because of what he wants I guess I’m just delusional to think the court for now would help me have this baby more of the time lol. I appreciate everyone’s honest responses

@Brooke wish I did more like this. But I’m not the person to intentionally get at someone he said some mean stuff months ago about the baby and I don’t have the texts anymore. I just wish he would see my side and all he’s taking from me doing this
