child support/ custody case?
hi everyone....just trying to get some info on the above topic. i want to take my son's father too court for child support. he's seen my son a total of 4 times since he was born almost 11 months ago. everytime he does something stupid and i call him out on it he decides to not call to check up on his son. for almost 7 months if you asked him where or how his son was he wouldn't know. he goes months without checking up on him because hes pissed at me. i asked him to babysit one time and my son went 5 hours without food. i haven't heard from him in almost 2 months because he came to see him and since my baby doesn't know him he started crying when he picked him up, so he figured the smart thing to do would be to shake my then 9 month old son. since i found out i was pregnant i have seen a total of $250 from him. my question is if i apply for sole custody, is there any chance he could get awarded partial custody? i really dont want him around my son alone. oh n did i mention he got 2 other girls pregnant at the same time as me?
first of all "Archer" you are clearly a f**cking idiot so im not gonna waste anymore time on ur piece of sh*t a**
and George, yea obviously im being a gatekeeper mom becuz i want to keep my son safe......what kind of morons do they have on this site now

File for child support... The CHILD deserves the emotional and financial support of BOTH parents.
As far as custody, you can request whatever you want but it honestly depends on the courts. If you have witnesses or documentation to back up your claims of neglect or potential abuse (the shaking) then you have a stronger case, otherwise all you can do is request temporary supervised visitation and possibly parenting classes. Visitation schedules can also be gradual to acquaint the father and child more before a lot of "alone time" takes place...
As a father he will most likely hold the rights of visitation and joint legal custody. Legal custody mainly observes his right to have say in educational, medical, and religious decisions regarding the child.
The child has been in your SOLE care since birth and therefore the likelihood of the courts granting him are "Physical Custody" are slim to none...
His activities outside the relationship with his child (and you) do not mean anything to the courts and you had better not even mention that he impregnated other women in the similar timeframe if you want to hold a respectable stance in court... They don't want to hear "whining" or "he said she said" BS which is what that is...
Best wishes to you and your son...
Source(s): Please don't worry about Mr George McCasland... He is a Mother Loathing Bigot of this site with anything in regards to Child Support & Custody... He & I acknowledge that the system isn't perfect but he attacks GOOD mothers when it isn't warranted... GOOD fathers DO get a bad rep in society, but attacking one side only creates hatred... Acknowledge BOTH sides Mr McCasland... Or do you still hate ALL Custodial Mothers?! - 1 decade ago
Wow, this is man sounds like a complete looser. I would say that yes you have a shot at sole physical/ legal custody, but he will probably get some visitation if he wants it. But, if what you're saying is true, it would be like only like two hours on a Monday or something like that--and in his case it would probably be supervised. Just make sure to document everything he's done that proves he's a bad parent (when and where) so that when you go to court, you have specific incidences your lawyer or you can site. You are entitled to more from the father of your child than this. Unless you are a partying crack whore (and by your post it seems as though you are most definitely not!) I would say you should get some money coming in on a regular basis, primary physical custody (like 99.9 percent of the time), and sole legal.
My ex wasn't even really that terrible of a husband/father (well, compared to yours!), and I still got custody 90 percent of the time, and sole legal.

So you need some one to tell you to obtain a support order? Or are you just wanting to bash him on this sight.
If he has displayed little or now interest in the child what make you think the courts will entertain a change in custody?
This money is your child's, meant for the health and welfare of the child. If he is a "man" he will stand up and provide for that which he is creating.
I would think about protection next time and you won't need to go through this again.

Are you sure you're just not being a Gatekeeper Mother?
