Joint custody?!

4 replies

EmmaMarie18 · 30/10/2022 09:25

I'm going through a separation whereby I share a little boy with my ex. He also has another son who he has contact with and has threatened his eldest son's mother that he intends on going for joint custody of both his boys (he has a daughter he doesn't bother with mind 🤯 doesn't want to see her and hasn't seen her for 6 years)

He doesn't have a stable home address, he's living between his mother's and a friend's house. He works full time, has no form of help with child care. In the long term my son and his brother will be living approx 30 miles apart so ultimately how can he get both children to school on time, in different areas?! As he's stated he wants the children at the same time

Is it highly possible that he could have shared care/joint custody?! My anxiety's through the roof..it's hard enough dealing with the fact he's cheated on me, we've separated, selling our home now this 🥹

Anyone been in a similar situation x

I’m no legal eagle but I’m sure any sane judge would see right through that.
Hopefully someone comes along with more knowledge

Also no experience but I would presume the court want to know where everyone is living and how he plans make it work

How do you share at the moment is it 50/50 and where does he stay when looking after DC. Unless he can prove you are an unfit mother or have other reasons, cannot see a Court giving him full custody.

He's currently living with his mother who would be his only form of child care...she's practically blind oh and defending/in contact with her eldest son who is on police bail for sexual offences against children 😳 I've seen a solicitor and it's been stipulated my child is NOT to be left unsupervised with her and my ex is to stay with him..in the past he's had him and buggered off out leaving him with her until
I've found all this out,.so she cannot be used as his child care EVER!

At the moment I've been more than fair and we've sorted it more or less 50/50 between us I know he's just thinking of the money that's all

He has our son happily collects him but when it comes to returning him he demands I meet him half way or says if i don't he'll keep him for another night..he's a control freak! He's taking my son away this weekend and hasn't even mentioned the fact my little boy is going to 154 miles away (I wouldn't stop him taking him just think communication is important as he's so small) and I know if I did tha he'd kick right off

He's making my life hell!
