How can i win custody of my 2yr old son?

Question

I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD SON AND HIS MOTHER HAS FILED FOR CUSTODY AND SUPPORT.
NOT BECAUSE I DONT SUPPORT HIM BUT JUST BECAUSE SHE DOESNT HAVE ALL THE THINGS THAT I BUY FOR HIM.SHE FEELS AS IF I SOULD HAVE TO DO THINGS TWICE IF U GET MY POINT.
IM NOT A RICH PERSON BUT I HAVE MY SON FOR 4 DAYS OUT A WEEK AND I BUY HIM CLOTHES SHOES TOY'S AND ETC.BUT SHE FEELS THAT I HAVE TO DO THE SAME FOR WHERE SHE LIVES AT HOW CAN I WIN

Answer 1

Get a lawyer and present all of the facts above. If you have the child 4 days a week she is going to have a hard time getting full support from you. Make sure that you keep track of all of the money that you spend, it's very important.

Answer 2

Most states have a "best interest of the child" standard. So, you having full custody has to be the best situation for your son. There is no longer a gender-based preference for custody assignment.

You do need a lawyer. If you try to save money by not hiring a lawyer, you may lose custody and a tremendous amount of money in the long run. If you are poor, contact all legal aid type organizations that serve your area.

Answer 3

A child is not a bargaining chip to be used between parents to score points in the divorce courts. It is not a matter of who can supply what materially and where, but how the child is nurtured. If the two of you can amicably 'time share' the child, surely his possessions can do a little home shuffling for the time being as well. what is the point of having two of everything - he cant be in two places at once using both items at a time. stop complicating an already difficult matter think of the child for a change - grow up. Give the poor kid a chance give him some stability and show him that grown ups don't have to behave like kids when things don't go their way.
The possessions are not the important issue here, the mental and physical well being of your child should be.

Answer 4

Sorry but 2 years old makes the mother the primary parent. And you will support the kid even if he's with his mother. Buying stuff for a child doesn't make for good parenting - I'm not saying your a bad father, but at that age - the child needs the mother more than the father because its the 'nurturing' age (0-7yrs). Unless proven to be an unfit mother, no court will separate a child that young from his mother.

Answer 5

Don't take a child away from his mother unless she is an unfit mother. It sounds like you have good visitationa dn to take him away from her, isn't doing what is best for the child. That baby grew inside her, not that your roll is not very important, it is very very important, but I don't think a man should ever take a baby away from the mother unless she is very unfit to be a mother. I think that she isn't asking to much, if she is having a hard time and needs the help, it isn't for her, it's for the child, so both of oyu need to make a resolution, Don't just buy clothes or shoes for your house, let him wear them home, and he will wear them back. Likewise with her. It should be all for the kid. You should pay child support, this isn't for her, this is for him, to help make sure he does have what he needs. Trying to take custody cause you don't agree with paying child support isn't right. Me and my daughters father are together but don't live together and he insists on paying child support to me cause it is for our daughter, to make sure she has hot water, etc.. not that I can't pay it myself, but because it is an assurace that she has what she needs and it is contrubited from both parents, as I also support my daughter by making sure she has lights, hot water, clothes, food. YOu are putting a child between you and your ex, emotions. Manup, pay some sort of support and try for an agreed visitation agreement that is fair and best for the child.
