Joint Custody question ???What do you think the outcome is going to be?

Question

So me and the ex split up while she was pregnant because she started seeing someone else another girl to be exact she had been bi since i met her and we lived together etc. Anyways we had a really rough breakup and she holds me responsible for it so she tries to use my daughter as leverage. I hold my fatherly responsibilities in high regard with that being said even though shortly after the birth of my daughter the military transfered me else where i took her to court because she wouldnt let me see my daughter i even gave her the opportunity to settle it without going to court. Anyways when we went to court she cried and claimed i had post tramautic stress from two tours in iraq and that i was abusive which was all garbage anyways i was awarded interim joint custody with supervised visitation until a custody evaluation was done i havent seen the report but my daughters mom managed to piss off the social worker and the custody evaluator being the stubborn B*** she is. I drive 600 miles every weekend there and back to see my daughter and sometimes she doesnt want to let me see her so lawyers etc get involved. Court is coming back up here again soon and i think the 600 dollars in child support i pay is way too much its killin me im not rich im just a sgt in the Marines who lives alone but thats not the important part i just want to know if you all think i will get the joint physical joint legal custody i asked for ??

Update:

Yes i do have all the visitations recorded since i was mandated to have supervised visitation i have a social worker which i pay 50 dollars an hour everytime i see her, plus she makes it a battle all the time she never wants to drive anywhere in new orleans to meet me she says its to far even though i just finished driving 8 hours she cant drive twenty minutes. She even refuses to fill out the neccesary paperwork to get my daughter enrolled in Tri Care to recieve her dependent benefeits.

From your story I would say that you will without a doubt get joint custody. 

If you never hurt the baby or you ex, then she can't say your abusive because she wouldn't have proof.

It sounds like you make every attempt you can to see your daughter and if you have proof of all your visits the court will be very pleased that you are a stand up guy who loves his daughter.

Just make sure you always try to get stationed somewhat close to her(believe me I know that is easier said then one).

Thank you for serving and I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

those variety of solutions and who is familiar with it is right? Legally this relies upon in what state the youngster help order grew to become into completed in initially. almost it relies upon on the choose. baby help is extra often than not to verify the state does not shield the youngsters. Secondary is as a results of fact that the youngsters do not go through (monetarily they do extra advantageous given the present rules). 0.33 is the difficulty of retaining living known for the families. Given your enjoyed ones's extra beneficial earnings that's barely basic that an attempt be made to repair his living known to what it grew to become into. Realistically he could pay something each month. you are able to tell him from me that the choose will look extra kindly if he does. He additionally needs to get to the lawyer 2 days in the past, on condition that in maximum states money owed for November 1st is due November 1st. despite if he's fired November 2d or the youngster dies November third, the money is owed.

Joint custody is tricky and your best plan of action is to have a good lawyer. Take pictures of what you do with the child when you are together. Have a psychology report on hand verifying your emotional stability.

With a good attorney you'd stand a good chance of getting full custody. I know I'll get a lot of "thumbs down" for this but honestly a lot of courts still frown on same sex relationships raising children.
