Ex wants 50/50

[xx200xx]

Hello,
So I have fled to a refuge with my 1 year old son due to my sons father being abusive.

We are currently going through a non mol court case and he denied me having this so it's going to be a long one.

However once that part is out of the way we will be going to court over a custody battle. He wants 50/50 custody even though he has always treated our son like a burden. I'm going to say I don't want him having 50/50 and to see our son every weekend or every other weekend.

What are the chances of him getting 50/50?
My concerns are the my son is 1 year old and I now live over an hour away from his dad and he works on a weekday. I don't work so it would make sense me having him on the weekday and not his dad. His dad had not give me any money for his son since we left also. But I'm not sure how the court will take this into consideration.

Make sure you document every contact with father. Every payment, every gift, every request, every text, phone call etc. You need to gather evidence of his interest/lack of interest in your child, so you are prepared to defend your custody wish.

My sister went through DV her child's dad took her to court. Initially he got no contact only via letter, went to court again and got supervised contact, once the safety reports came back about him and it went to court again and he got no contact. And it's been like that for 8 years. And at the start he was asking for 50/50! Silly man.
