I was wondering about getting full custody of my child?

Question

well me and my ex broke up and she is carrying my child and she is telling me i am not going to be able to see it once its born or before hand or after, and i was wondering if i have grounds to get full custody.. because she has severe depression, and anxiety, she doesn't have a job, she lives with her mom who doesn't have an income and her dad who is on disability, and her mother is pyscho, she has been to an insane asylum, 4 times in the past 4 months, and so i am not sure if that would be a good enviroment for a child to grow up.. i got a pretty well paying job and my own apartment. anyone have any answers for me please.

Answer 1

Yes you do have rights. Do some research into it and find out any expenses you would have to get custody. They might only give you partial and then after the babies born you can try for Full custody. If you can ask your parents for help as well. Try to keep tabs on her so she doesn't take off and be sure and try to be there when the babies born. If you take care of all of the legal stuff before the babies born it may be less of a hassle. But it might get expensive.

The does not sound like a good environment for a child and I commend you for trying to make the best out of a bad situation. You sound like you'll make a great dad.

Answer 2

You can very well get full custody of that child! All it takes is a good lawyer and NO LIES! The court will not automatically side with the mother, it will be a long haul but make sure you get temp. custody in the mean time after the baby is born, and start now don't wait that way when she does have the baby it will go to you immediately!!! Good Luck

Answer 3

My dad is a physiologist, i hear about this all the time.

what you do is go to court

A  physiologist will "evaluate" you and your ex. Tell the judge what he founds out. then a decision will be made. if what you are saying is true. you should have no problem getting a full custody.

Answer 4

Dude you have to make peace with her. NOW. Not go back to her, but make PEACE. And always always always . . . don't think of "winning" or "full custody," think of what's best for this child.

This happens too often and turns into a battle that lasts for the next 18 years. Don't walk away. Your child needs it's father.

If push comes to shove - trust me, you will LOSE, courts will always side with the mother and you may even lose visitation. Don't even let it get to that. Think ahead, NOW!

You need to grow up, be the bigger person here. Like it or not, you're in for the next 18 years, with or without your ex. You'll regret it if you don't.
