Being single mum with a baby

[rabper]

Hi mums and dads

I have a 6 weeks old daughter and I am thinking of separating from my husband. She will be a few months old when that happens.
What I am worried about is the custody. We both work full time and earn good money. Can he possibly get equal custody of the baby? She is not on breastfeed and I have to admit he is a good dad and can take care of her. However I dont want him to take custody of her because of his temperament and its potential impact on her in the future (long term).

I wanted to know any thoughts by people who have been there. What is the likely scenario that we get equal custody and how can I prevent it?

very likely. Courts nowadays start at 50-50

if he is a good dad, puts your child first then in this case it wouldnt be discouraged!

Very likely. I agree though, put your daughter first. Unless you have reason to believe your daughter would be at risk, it really is in your daughters best interests. Many men start off with 50/50 but soon start cancelling so might be that you end up with more care. That was the case with me. My children’s father is still very much an important part of their lives and we have a good friendship, buts he’s living overseas now. He started 50/50 too!
