You need to keep your distance from him. Don't do anything that you don't have to do. Since the child is so young the jugde should give you custody as long as you cannot be proved "unfit". You need to get an Ex parte. Whoever gets that first will have sole TEMPORARY physical and legal custody of the child until the court date is set. Yes he can file that too. Be careful and quick. In the final papers I'd be careful how it is worded. You don't want him to be able to run with the baby. If you want to know anything else, email me. I just went through all this like a few weeks ago.

DON'T GO!!! regardless of what he says. Abusive people will say anything and do anything to control you. You fight back, its your choice to stay or leave, but going for a visit could land your name on the 6 o'clock news. Be smart for your child, stay away until all of this is legally taken care of. And definitely fight for full/sole custody with only monitored visitation. Tell the courts that you fear for your life and that of your child. And that you fear he may try to kidnap as a way to continue to control you.

Since you never called the police, there is no record of abuse - so that can't be used in court.
He probably won't get full custody, however, if you haven't established residency in FL yet (lived there 6months) , you could be forced to move back to GA and he can get joint custody up to 50%.

If you are scared of him why would you put yourself and your child in an abusive situation. If he wants to see his son he can visit on your terms

first play tit for tat, file for child support... and no judge will give him custody if you can prove u have a stable environment to raise the child in...

you need to be asking your lawyer what to do; meantime find out about a restraining order, but ask your lawyer first
