YOU can file for full custody -- but I would make sure that YOUR lawyer or advocate, and the MEDIATOR both HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION on his activities -- the Drug Deals, the Crimes he committed, photos, crime charges sheets, papers of conviction, whatever with you when you go to discuss NOT JUST the child support, but the visitation.
At a minimum -- full custody -- with the option of Supervised Visitation (at the expense of the other party) at a designated facility.

Prove to the courts that you are the more responsible party and that being with his father would not be beneficial to your son or his well being. I am currently about to try to file for full physical and legal custody of my daughter who is almost 11 months. Her father refuses to even give me an address for himslef and although he does see her and has given me about a quarter of the promised child support. I don't believe that being with him is good for her. His father smokes and he constantly stinks...We have to Febreeze teh whol house after he leaves. Did I mention he doesn't have a license or a job? Do what you believe is best for your son. There are many sites out there that can help and you can always call the Bar Assciation and they can help you find an attorney for you.

Yes, it is reason enough. But dealing with the court system you would have to be able to PROVE these things, otherwise it is here say.
Gambling in and of itself isn't grounds to file. You have to show a pattern of dangerous and unstable behavior. The assault with a deadly weapon charge will go in your favor, and if he has a pattern of instability, aggression, and questionable character.
If you are the more stable, custodial parent you can ask for sole legal and physical custody, but you have to PROVE that he isn't the responsible, caring, able father he will portray himself to be.

Joint custody does not advise so plenty greater desirable than the two mothers and fathers have a say in what happens whilst it includes the youngster's welfare, and frequently one be certain finally ends up with this accountability besides. in case you have "finished custody" the different be certain will probable nevertheless have visitation rights.... and that's the regulation that an absent be certain could pay newborn help, even with the custodial status. the sole way a organic and organic be certain can get out of paying newborn help is, in the event that they sign off on their parental rights. this implies they now no longer have the ideal to be interior the youngster's life, the two. particularly of stressful approximately newborn help, agonize approximately your youngster's welfare.

If you do want your boy to have some kind of relationship with his father, and he's buddies with those kind of people, I would go talk to a child support worker and tell then that you want the father to have supervised visitations. and be honost and tell them why. Getting full custody is hard to do but good luck, ive been in your situation, it sucks. Reach out and ask for help from the chid support system.

well. prove that ur ex isn't the best example of a father for you son. show the court house that you how ever are the more responsible parent & that your son would be in better care if he was with you. you just have to make a stand for what you want.. and keep fighting til the end.
good luck && i hope you get custody of your son =]]

I can't see how he could get any custody of your child, does he have any type of criminal backgriund? No child support, how could he be able to care for them, sounds like he can't care for himself. He probably has a habit (bad) he has to feed with what money he gets. Tell him to get a life.

look, this man makes bad choices that could affect the health of your child, sometimes no father is better than the one hes got, he can still have a good male rolemodel that isnt his father

If you are honestly asking this question then I dont think either one of you are a fit parent. Is it a good reason to file for full custody because your childs life will be in danger around his father? DUH.
