custody fight colleen: :'( ok...my husband and i are newly seperated and now he's trying to file for temorary custody. Our daughter has been around me pretty much all her life..when we lived together he never saw her...he worked and went to school every day of the week. and slept on the weekend. He says now that he will file for temporary custody...i don't know what that entails.. does anyone know how long that takes and if he has any chance? here is his situation: as of now he just quit school. he rents A room from a friend and her boyfriend. he has had a problem with money ever since we were married..has problems paying bills. he is now trying to use that i took her away and i'm not putting her in a good enviroment by living with the rest of my family. she's happy that i can see...she is in school and she has a great relationship with her grandparents. does anyone think that he will get granted temorary custody or full custody? she is my world..i would not be able to live with out her..i want to do anything i can to keep her in my life. i'm not going to deprive him of seeing his daughter..i need help. please..thank you.
Re: custody fight Darilyn: Dear Colleen,
Try to remember that any judge will rule that a child is better off with the mother, and bonus that your family is supportive of you both. A room rented from friends, versus a loving family environment sounds to me like no contest.
I would suggest you get legal counsel right away. If you qualify for legal aid, great, if not, then you can purchase a Pre-Paid legal package and get help through them.
If you are not already in a Divorce Recovery support group, I would also suggest that.
Best of luck, my prayers are with you and your daughter.
Re: custody fight Veronica: Dear Colleen;
I think its great of you for worrying and being conserned over your daughter, as a daughter who lives w/ her mom and has gone thorugh all the crapy stuff that divorce involves, set your priorities, and i suggest that you try 2 discuss things w/ her father . Divorced or not parents of a child should always try to have the best relationship possible, if you had sex before and created a child, you should be able to live up the responsibily of taking care of the wellfair of the child. I wish you the best w/ you and your daughter

Re: custody fight Jami: Collen,
How difficult for you! I agree a loving and supportive extended family is better then a rented room. I am sure the judge will take everything into account. He will not get full custody of her! I know you are scared! I was too! These things have a way of working out. I hope all goes well for you! Please let us know!
Hang in there!
