My husband left me and my 2 week old son last week. He has a previous arrest for domestic violence and a DUI. He is not a credible individual and has a problem with alcohol. What are the laws regarding child custody? Am I garunteed full custody due to these circumstances? I am meeting with a lawyer this week to ensure my son is in my complete care and my husband only gets visitation rights. Can someone explain to me what the laws are regarding who gets full custody and who doesn't?
If you are married to the father then you both have equal custody under the eyes of the law until a court order says something different. If I were you I would file for emergency relief including child support, alimony (gotta love joint property), and you can also most likely get him to have to pay the house payment until divorce.
I caution you again that RIGHT NOW HE HAS EQUAL RIGHTS, if he gets the child for even a short amount of time you will have a heck of a battle getting the kid back.
