me and my ex live in NYC, we have joint legal custody, and she has physical custody, and i have her my 6 year old daughter every other weekend.So yesterday my ex called me telling me to get my daughter and her because she had a big fight with her parents.so i went, as they were stilling arguing her mother attack her and they fist fought, so i broke it up, the cops came etc but my ex didn;t press charges..

So i took my ex to her friend house..and my ex does not want to go back to her parents house, and she will be living at her freinds, so i told my ex im willing to stay with my daughter and take her to school which is like 7 mins away, in which where my ex is staying is pretty far from there to the child school. and willing to let her freind take her to school but i disagree...and my ex works full time and she has the weeknds off, so i try to talk to my ex but she being stubborn about the situation, so can i go back to court and file for physical custody???

    You do have grounds to seek it and with the police report in hand (to bad charges weren't filed) you have a fair chance of getting it. The mother isn't in a stable home and the previous one had violence. Once you are fit in the eyes of the court then it should be granted.

  • You can always try, now that you have a case of domestic violence even though there were no charges pressed there should be a police report, in which case you need to get a copy, as violence in the home of a child is highly frowned upon in today's society, and you have a strong case provided you have no history of violence, at least that's where I'd play my hand,
