Answer 1

First thing you should do is seek a mediator. It is a step that before court and the custody battle which will only affect your son, bottom line. A mediator will help you and hubby and mother side come to an agreement on custody. Find one make an appointment and see if she will come. if she doesn't, try again. Then, file for custody, but decide what kind of custody, there are different types. Seeking the help of a mediator will be greatly in your favor-1. it shows you are trying to be fair and reasonable 2. it shows you have the best interest of the child in mind.
If this does end up going to court, you don't need an attorney-you can do this on your own, I did and I am a single mother-vs father and his wife, I won. My strategy, be honest and focus on good points, and of course the best interest of your son. Do not make a list of bad things the mother does. Think about it, quite petty right? instead just be honest and fair, it will work out. The mother will do herself in, trust me. She is already showing signs of being uncooperative and unreasonable and defintely does not have the 'best ineterst of the child' in mind. That is what the judge will take into consideration- 'the best interest of the child'. Its not a battle, or tug of war thing. Whatever happens ask your son first what HE really wants to do, and go with that. And don't hide this form him or tell him things to protect his feelings, be honest and remind him its no his fault but just that sometimes this happens when adults cannot work together and fix things themselves, the court then helps. But only if he asks about it or shows signs like acting out and stuff. Hopefully, he won't let this get to him and affect him. Well good luck to ya.

Answer 2

Wait for the attorney.
"Non custody father" says that the child's mother has "Full custody" of said child. Did the court say mom has Full custody or did it say Shared custody?
The child is ten, still not old enough to decide who he can live with, the courts will do it for him. When he gets to be 12-14, depends on the state, he can ask the court to be placed with his father.
If your hubby wants to have a snowball's chance in hot places to gain custody of the child, he should sit tight and let the attorney handle it.

Answer 3

There is not any such factor as a army divorce. All divorces are civil concerns. Having stated that, the quantity of little one help is centered on sales. If there's a court docket order in situation that states how a lot little one help he must pay, then that is what he demands to pay. The most effective means he would petition the courts to diminish the quantity is that if his situations transformed and he immediately began making enormously much less cash. As for sending extra money every time his ex asks for it, he isn't obligated to try this and he's actually a idiot to take action.

Answer 4

My father got custody of me in Texas. He was told he had to wait until I was 12 to do so. So that I was of age to tell the courts that was what I wanted.

It only took 5 minutes the judge asked is this what you want, I said yes.And he said then custody is in ruling of the father.It was simple.But you need to still get a lawyer and evidence to support childs choice.

Answer 5

It doesn't matter how old the kid is, BUT.. if he's 10 and is expressing that he wants to live with you.. the lawyers may want to talk to him.. A child can make a decision .. if they are able to.. it might not matter what the mother has to say.. if your step son says he wants to go..

Answer 6

All kids want to live with the other parent until they finally get the chance. Then when they get with the other parent they want to go back. So GL....
