Could I win custody???

Question

Me & my GF are at the point of breaking up because I'm moving for a new career out of state on a military base.She says she doesn't want to move because she doesn't want to leave her family.She has never had a job in her life and she isn't trying to pursue a higher education.She suffered in the past from depression.She is pregnant 4 mos. right now. And I am really only taking this job because it is a career to build on instead of working the dead end part time job I'm at now.So me taking this job, I will be very able to support our child better then I can now.And the crime rate is going up in the city also because of the downward spiral of jobs.So where I'm going is also a nice place to raise a family. And her just staying at home doing nothing with her life, when the baby comes she is only gonna put extra financial burden and responsibility on her parents.And I really wouldn't want her to raise my child there because her father is a very bad alcoholic.So could i win custody if i tried

Answer 2

From what you say, I believe you have a good case. That is all it is for right now though. Things could change for you, but for right now, I would do small things to help ensure yourself something better

-Start writing in a journal about what goes on from day to day. It also helps put to put events in there as well. Dealing with foster children, I keep a journal so i can watch their behavioral patterns. This may help in order to figure out how well of a mother she would be.

-Keep track of your finances  and hers. That way you have proof over who can afford for the child. You should also keep track of who spends what. I was with a person who worked hard, put money into the bills, but then when it came to extra money for emergencys, he never had any. Later on I found out he was putting that money into things I didn't agree with. It also shows you are responsible.

-Start looking into past cases. what helped the judge decide?

-ask for a lawyers help. They see things we don't.

and honestly, the worst thing they can do is say no. but you will still be able to see your children.

I hope this helps. Good luck!!!

Answer 3

absolutely! You definitely have your head in the right place. You will obviously be able to better provide for a child both physically and emotionally  than your girlfriend. The courts will definitely be in your favor. Best of luck sweetie!

Answer 4

It is very hard to get a baby away from the mother and in this case I don't think it would be wise. What I would do is let her know how much you love her and the unborn child and persuade her that what you want is what you honestly feel is best for her and the baby. You and her could go talk with a counselor  and maybe the counselor can convince her that your best interests are at heart. She just sounds scared and confused, she is newly pregnant and she doesn't want to leave her family. Try to talk with her about this calmly and don't give up on her or your baby!
