I'm sure this is a well trodden path so apologies in advance but my ex-H is starting to talk/threaten about joint custody of our DC, who is age 3. At the moment, DC lives with me, I do the bulk if not all the child care and work part time. He works full time, sees DC for one day at the weekend and does a nursery drop twice a week. Ex-H moved out in July and is renting a one bed flat. There is very little practical help on offer from him.
On top of the practicalities, my ex and I are not on particularly amicable terms, largely down to his antagonistic behaviour and it's my understanding that parents obviously have to be willing and flexible to really make joint custody work.
Does he have any chance of JC, and how would he go about it? Would he have to start court proceedings and would we e.g me, end up paying for this? It's my fear he'll put me through hell with it all for a few months, rack up the legal bill, only to be told by court that his demands are unreasonable. If anyone can offer advice, I'd be v grateful.
