It is possible to win my child custody?

If this were to ever go to court, who do you think would win (child custody question)?

  • Ok, so my boyfriend and his wife are divorced and they have shared custody of their daughter, and it is pretty 50/50 for time and it has to be 50/50 for money per the agreement. No child support is paid because of this. So now that his x has a kid and another on the way, I'm really starting to lose all respect for her. I don't trust her, so I've started to kinda mark it down for my boyfriend's protection. They have only been divorced for less than a year (they split up years ago though, and we were together before the marriage was finalized so I saw everything go down). Before the divorce, she had her job for like 4 years and she seemed like a pretty decent mom. Worked with her daughter and everything. Super smart kid. Since the divorce (I think it was finalized this past June), she has done like a 360 turn around. A couple of months ago, we went to drop her off (at the time agreed on in the custody agreement, and no other time was agreed on) and her mom would not answer the door. We tried to call her on the phone, and she wouldn't answer. My stepdaughter was screaming for her. She said that she didn't answer because my step daughter was supposed to be dropped off by 7 30, an hr before the custody agreement said. Then a couple of weeks later she just didn't show up to pick up her daughter. No calls, wouldn't answer my call or return my texts. So we kept her and got her ready. The next day she texted me to say she was in the hospital and didn't bring her cell phone to text me (she could just as easily of had her boyfriend send me a quick text but whatever). She said she may or may not be getting her daughter, she didn't know yet. I said that's cool, just let me know for sure what way you are going, so I know if I should feed her dinner or what. No response, never texted to say she wasn't coming, wouldn't return my texts again. Then part of the agreement is that she is supposed to sleep at her mom's during the school year so that her mom can drop her off. Well instead when she got her new job she decided that she would rather wake her kid up 3 hrs earlier than she needs to be waken up and drop her off for us to take to school. (dropped off in pajamas with absolutely nothing done so we get her ready), and none of that is a problem, although I do think it's in her best interest to just sleep at our house and get a propper uninterrupted nights sleep, but whatever. So my boyfriend had an allergic reaction and we had to spend all of one night in the hospital. I texted her when we got back (she just lost her job again so was not working) that she would have to call me when she was on her way to drop my stepdaughter off. She wasn't working, so I thought for sure she would of let her sleep in, but I got up at the scheduled time and waited a little bit, then I sent her that text-I had to work that day and couldn't wait for whenever she decided to drop her off (she is very inconsistent when she doesn't work), I need sleep too. She never called or texted. After she apparently already left (I have the texts saved in my phone and if the timing she said is correct then she would of been in the parking lot outside of our apartment when she texted to yell at me), she texted me saying that since I'm not intelligent enough to answer a door when someone knocks (exact wording) that my boyfriend can come pick her up for school. I texted her back saying I told her to call, I wasn't up because we were in the hospital all night and since I tried to communicate that with her and she ignored it that she would just have to take her to school today, since my boyfriend was knocked out cold from the meds or come back and drop her off. She never dropped her back off, never took her to school. Number one, their custody agreement says she is responsible for getting her to school, number 2, she physically had the child, and number 3, she put her daughter in the middle of a fight. I was going off of like 2 hrs of sleep and couldn't drive that day (her school is walking distance from our apartment). Whenever we try to communicate anything with her, she never replies to texts and never answers her phone. Most of the time she wasn't even the one that dropped her daughter off-she had her boyfriend who works night shift. Mind telling me why she needs me (yes me, not my boyfriend, as he works too) to drop off her daughter at school when it's her boyfriend that is dropping her off at our house. She also never does any homework. At first we tried to make it more 50/50 with doing homework with her, but none of the homework that we send her way gets done so we end up helping her with everything. She also was committing fraud for a while (back when she worked) and she smokes weed and my 5 year old step daughter knows how to draw a bong because of it. And her mom lets her watch adult swim. If this were to go to c

  • Answer:

    We had a bio-mom like that too....let me guess she can't keep a job, she moves all the time, and in short the kid is a burden to her, not a blessing. My husband took his ex to court when the child was 4, for ALL of those reasons and we got a Guardian Ad Litem assigned to look out for the best interest of the 4 year old and they interviewed the school and the teachers, and came to both our homes...etc. the GAL told the court that it was in the child's best interest to live with his dad full time, and mom got every other weekend...oh and and unemployed mom who had two other kids was ordered to pay child support! the bottom line is she isn't caring for the child, she isn't doing what is in the best interest of the child, and the child needs to be elsewhere. You are going to have a battle if bio-dad doesn't have a kid friendly schedule, but it is all worth it. ' Our situtation happened in 2007, and we are in a redneck county in GA, and the mom was not beatingt he child, and she was feeding him, there was no big ah-ha moment, it was just her over all life style and how she treated the child as an obligation to be passed around. Also, my husband was/is a convicted felon and he still got custody! As of right now my step son's bio-mom is on supervised visitation every other weekend from 2-6...and she rarely shows up for that! so I have filed to adopt my step son and terminate her rights.
