if your child has a great dad would you let him raise her and you as the mom visit?

Question

him/her and have you ever been in that situation

Answer 1

i havent beenin that situation but i guess it totally depends on you why not have shared care like sun mon tues wed live with you and rest of the week with her dad or vice versa its really good your child has a great father and i bet you are a brilliant mother its entirely up to u honey! wishing you all the best xxx

Answer 2

Just to comment on what was said about joint custody, it DOES work. However it takes two very mature parents that can put whatever went on between them in the past and still parent together.

As far as fathers raising kids, I am a custodial father of 2 strait a students and a pre-schooler. Dads are very capable good parents, and often even more times then they get custody are what is best for the child. One of my children is even my step-daughter and I am raising her as my own as a single father.

However every situation and parent is different.

Answer 3

If you are unable to raise the child together(under the same roof) and the father wants full custody and you beleive you are unable to offer the child the level of care he can, then I can understand your question. Joint custody can be very unsettling for a child, but keep in mind that every child needs a mum and a dad! You have to do what is best for your child. Good luck, and don't be afraid to go with your gut. As long as your child is loved and has you in her life she will grow happy and knowing how to love herself and others.

Answer 4

sure why not i did, after the divorce my ex thought i would make a better and more repossible parent that she could ever be raised 3 children had military career and university all going at same time with Gods help all finished college 2 boys are in federal law enforcement the girl great responsible mother of 3

Answer 5

Not in that situation, buy it is my opinion that a child needs both parents. Why not share joint custody,that way, the child has full time access to both parents, not just visitation rights., which might be only on occasion.

Answer 6

Yes I did that and it backfired on me but I have high hopes for you! Mine collected welfare while he worked a full time job under the table and I was informed twelve years later that I owed twenty five thousand dollars back child support. I let the idiot take the kids because he was making better money than myself and he lost the job like an total jerk and figured out a way to put it on me later! Also he started drinking again years later and his mother took our children from him while I was living in California and had no recourse out their. It was just a mess for me and I essentially lost my children for good. They refuse to talk to me now because of the Grandmother who made sure my children grew away from me and hated me. This is the worse case scenario though, don't think yours will be as bad as mine turned out. It will probably be just fine for you.

Answer 7

I got custody of and raised my kids without their egg donor's assistance. She ran off with an old man and had 2 more kids.
My children have visited her now that they are over 18, and when they came home, they said "Thanks for saving us from that".

Answer 8

I assume you and the father are split up.

If he's a great father, then it's okay for him to raise her and you visit.

Answer 9

I thankfully have never been in that situation. I would fall apart without my kids so I cannot even imagine not being with them every day!!!!

Answer 10

if that's what is best for all concerned then yes in a blink of an eye.
