well im not sure if the laws are diffeant there then here but here if ur not married the mom has full custody unless u go to court and give it to him but since he lives with his dad that might make things a little more complicated so if u really want to know about this you shold call your city hall or court house and ask them waht the laws are on child custody best of luck to you

Equal parenting is the way to go! If you have issues that preclude this, talk to your lawyer. If there are no issues, time sharing should be as equal as possible. See your local state/provincial websites for information.
By the way, don't let money issues cloud parenting issues. I see more parents rallying for full or sole custody because the child is worth $600 per month. Wrong, wrong.

im in a custody battle with my ex boyfriend now i left state with my son when he was only 6 weeks and i talked to three lawyers before i left to make sure it was legal. They all said that since there is no paperwork filed for us to be in court for custody i was considered the legal guardian and could do pretty much what ever i wanted...he has no rights til we go to court. if your married i dont think its much different but you could always call a lawyer and ask.

You both have rights to the child but as the mother you have the most chance of getting custody unless the father can prove somehow that you are unable or unsuitable to take care of the child.

well, if you want him to live with you and he is currently living with the father, you will have to bring the matter to the court in the last jurisdiction in which you two resided together and/or the jurisdiction in which you were divorced
as the noncustodial parent, you have visitation rights, you may or may not have major decision making ability (such as medical decisions or schooling decisions) depending on washington, iowa, or another state's law if you were divorced in another state
get a lawyer, yes they are expensive, but you cannot afford not to have one in these matters.

Yes you both have rights. If you want sole custody you have to go to court. My boyfriend just got custody of his son and it took a year. He was hell for us but it was well worth it.

No. Snopes and Politifact cleared up this rumor. short version clarification: "Rumors have circulated on condition that a minimum of 2009 claiming that the Fox information cable television channel fought effectively in court docket for the right to lie, lie to, or lie to visitors. The declare that Fox information legally received the "appropriate to lie" has been repeated in the course of the web regardless of its being factually faulty on more effective than one aspect. The meme truly centers round a lawsuit concerning a Florida Fox-owned associate, not the nationwide community or cable information channel. The case accessible did not contain the nationwide Fox information cable channel (the case extensively PREDATES the Fox information cable channel's modern-day 24-hour coverage. also, the events that led as a lot because the "Fox lies" case were not about the station's day by day programming; really, the criminal conflict to which the rumor refers grow to be about a husband-and-spouse reporting team (Jane Aker and Steve Wilson) who objected to being inquisitive about an unaired tale about bovine enhance hormones (BGH) using what the pair believed grow to be a company conflict of interest. The journalists claimed they were unfairly terminated from their jobs for "resisting WTVT's tries to distort or suppress the BGH tale. We discovered no evidence that the Fox associate admitted that it lied about the archives it finally provided, and we actual discovered no evidence that Fox information as an complete admits it lies. even as the Fox associate argued that it has the right to recent the archives because it chooses, it’s really a leap to point Fox as a television business organisation defended some appropriate to "distort information comments" -- except in a hypothetical sense to quash a wrongful termination healthful."

He has a little more than you because the child's legal address is with his father, so he's kinda considered the custodial parent.
