It CAN be modified. Make sure YOU are on your best behavior at all times and keep your eyes peeled for bad parenting issues on her/his part. Not that he/she WILL be a bad parent, but keep an eye out - for the sake of your child. I hope that you at least get visitation.
Good luck!

Once custody is awarded the court will look at why you were denied the joint custody in the 1st place. You need to make sure that you are upholding GREAT standards for your son when he is with you and document EVERYTHING. Bedtime for his age is appropriate, TV, movies, healthy food, friends are solid, not left to go out on the weekends you have him (not assuming just saying) all of these things. Call many times in the week to just talk to him. Ask for conferences at school, take him for check ups. Pay support, pay for addition's such as school lunch, buy medicine, jackets, health care and daily care items. Be on time. These are all pretty much no brainers but I can tell you that my kids see none of this. ;o(
So, I would wait a year or so after a good solid pattern is established and then go for it. I think the judge will have no choice but to award joint... Oh, if you have him more then 50% of the time and can prove it... you can bank on getting sole custody. If you just go for joint then joint it is.

i'm in a matching difficulty yet diverse. My quickly-to-be ex spouse desperate that she needed to pass out and get f*ked up and smoke crack. I instructed her to pass away and that i've got our 4 month old son. She is threatening to return to my abode and take him from his grandma whilst i'm at artwork. right this is what the regulation is in Texas: a million. Untill you have court docket orders this is 50/50 custody besides the fact which you will keep the toddler from seeing the different parent till the court docket order is finalized. whilst you're at abode and he/she comes banging on the door, do no longer OPEN THE DOOR and make contact with the police. He/she would be waiting to settle for a criminal trespass caution and could be requested to pass away. If he/she comes decrease back its criminal trespass and could pass to penal complex. in the event that they stress get admission to into the abode it quite is legal housebreaking with reason to dedicate a legal. yet once you're in a public place like wal-mart and the different parent comes and takes the toddler out of your basket then there's no longer something you're able to do. THAT parent has custody till the court docket listening to. ok, let's imagine you have a court docket order and the different parent comprises get the toddler and doesnt carry him decrease back...do no longer worry calling the police. this is seen a CIVIL count and not kidnapping. The police will inform you this and could no longer become in contact in civil concerns till a criminal act is being dedicated. your in basic terms selection is to touch your criminal expert and enable him be attentive to that the court docket order has been violated by potential of the different parent. The choose would be certain the punishment for the different parent. whilst you're a solid parent and he's a sturdy parent maximum in all probability you will get joint shared custody with you having actual custody meaning determining the place he is going to college, physician, wellness facility, and so on. solid success with this...My spouse is an evil B*Tch and he or she thinks she is gonna get finished custody of our son. she doesnt even have everywhere to stay and is at the instant in rehab for drug abuse...

yes you can petition the courts to change that at a later time.
if your children are going to be at an age where they'd like to make up their own minds about where they live, then let them.
it's THEIR lives you are messing with... and i'm not saying you would be a bad parent for custody, i just don't think it's good to move kids from one home to the other, back and forth.
so maybe let them let you know.
take care too, and i hope you will get to see your kids quite often.

If your ex starts abusing your son or doing drugs, or basically doing something that puts the child at harm. Otherwise, you can apply for visitation rights, and sometimes you're allowed to challenge a ruling.

full custody only happens if one parent gives up their right...or is proven to be an unfit parent...thus will have to prove their fitness to be a parent if want to change the custody.

It can be modified, but it's not a good start.

it will be VERY difficult, unless you can prove he is abusing the child.

If it's by mutual consent, I don't see why not.
