bring a copy if all the police reports for the judge. start making steps looking for a place to live. look for all resources as an abused woman. you are in a strategic place right now. if the judge is concerned for the child's well being in a shelter, bring documentation of the shelter. are you attending any therapy? did you report the restraining order violation? give the judge a timeline. request for the maximum of child support. your husband can be ordered to pay a sum of alimony to help you get in your feet. TAKE IT! even if it's only for six months. request to have him take anger managment classes and additional parenting classes. his visitation should be supervised. make sure he pays 100% of those fees for a monitor.

I wouldn't worry about him getting custody at all and what I would do is (a) ask the court for immediate possession of the matrimonial home; (b) child support; (c) spousal support and a Protective Order keeping him as far away from you and your child as possible. I would also ask that if he's allowed to see your child that those visits be supervised by someone that the court appoints. Also, if he's following you then have you ever heard of the anti-stalking laws???

Your husband will not be able to have custody of the child since he has been abusing you. I live in Georgia and got divorced and the attorney that I had had told me that the children always go with the mothers. You have alot of things to use against your husband when you see an attorney.

via fact a lot of human beings (your lady coworkers secure) are nevertheless of the theory that mothers have an inherent parental instinct that fathers don't have, and that this instinct at once makes the worst mom ten situations better than the superb father would desire to ever desire to be. those women individuals are viewing THEMSELVES via fact the sufferer of a divorce, as adversarial to the babies as sufferers of mothers and fathers who can't agree on custody.

I hope you have a good lawyer, and a good judge. I wish I could offer more advice, I hope someone out there can help you, but maybe the shelter can give some good advice to you.

Seeing as you are living there because your HUSBAND beat you... I imagine the judge will work something out for you.
