well since shes showing she cant support the girl and shes living with a convicted felon.....yea you def. get support. if the courts found out about that...wow she would automatically lose the girl since its not a safe environment.
bring it to court. show that you can support her, put her through school, want the best for her, are worried about her safety as well as her education and well being. also show that you can provide her with everything she will ever need.
i seriously doubt you'd lose the case. also, her life style would definitely cause her to lose the girl.
good luck!! i hope everything comes out well

unless he has committed felonies against children, such as rape or incest or something of the sort, or unless they have mistreated the child, you don't have a case... unfortunately =(... the courts don't look at the fact of whether a person is married or not anymore... =(... the child will go to school when it's time for kindergarten, there is no law stating a child has to go to pre school. They, in fact, can say you were unstable for not marrying her when she was pregant w/ this child... but of course, I don't know if she cheated on you or whatever... and there is nothing wrong w/ her being a stay at home mom... I do agree that it's wrong to live w/ someone and not be married, though, but, the courts do not look at that...unfortunately these days, sigh...=(... working or not, has nothing to do w/ custody... if her boyfriend works and provides for the home they won't take the child away from her for that reason...

There's always the possibility that you could lose this case. Based on what you're telling me, I would say that your best option would be to file a modification for shared parental responsibility with you being the primary residential parent. Alot will have to do with the Judge that you go in front of, and what kind of attorney you hire. (Needs to be a real go getter)
If you're in the state of Florida, Florida law says that BOTH parents have an equal right/responsibility. I know for a fact that her threatening you with withholding your daughter from you will definitely be taken into consideration. The courts are very adamant that the residential parent be willing to establish/ maintain contact between the child and the non-residential parent. But don't go into a court referring to your daughter as "my child", because they will take exception to that as well. Be forewarned. You will probably have to prove abuse of some type, neglect, or parent alienation. There's a wide variety/range that the court will be willing to consider. Your county courthouse should have guidelines available. Talk with an attorney and Good Luck.

Why don't you already have a 50/50 custody??
You need more to take your child completely away from her but you are entitled to a 50/50 guardianship. You get her one full week out of 2 or 1 full month out of 2 or 6 months at your house and 6 months at hers. This way you will have much more influence on your daughter's life. It will also cut your child support amount in half. If you want her to take preschool or swimming class then go ahead and register her. Be active in her life!

I think if you and your new wife have discussed this and she (hopefully) wouldn't have a problem with any other child you have and you feel your childs environment is unhealthy and unstable then yes you should take the mom to court and try and get custody. It wont be easy financially on you and unfortunatly too many judges still rule in the moms favor, but this is your child, do whatever it takes to ensure she is getting everything she needs.

Yes there is always a way for you to lose. But if you focus on living conditions and especially on the education it looks good.
Word of caution she is allowed to date whomever she wants and the BF is considered a "disinterested party" as is your wife. It is annoying but that is how it works so don't put too much focus on him!
