Taking My Ex-girlfriend To Court For Full Custody Once The Baby Is Born, Currently She Is 2 Months Pregnant.?

1. Rae Says

   Maybe you should consider adoption for the child? So that it would have two parents, and a stable home. That would most likely be best for the child. And then neither of you have to worry. Going to court is insanely expensive, and it’s not fair to the child to take it away from it’s mother who it will have bonded to for 9 month.

   if u think your getting full custody u got another thing coming.. u can ask for 1/2 custody but thats as much as u will get.. grow up

3. Luciana Says

   I highly doubt you will be given full custody for these reasons. she commited no crime, her drugs are probablu prescripted and she is financially independent (is paying for her car and does not live with her parents). plus, YOU used to hang out with her and got her pregnant. No judge willl think you are such a great boy. You sound more like a jealous ex. Maybe you will get shared custody, which would be awesome for you. You will certainly get visitation rights, and in that case you are likely to have to pay child support, since your parents help you financially. My advice? Be civil. You dont want to start an ugly war on your child to bear it- they grow fast and you want yours to be a happy and stable one.

   First off the court is not going to care about all those things you just listed about yourself and her. Like how much she owes on her car, can’t keep her legs closed, liar, might go to college, parties all the time. All those things are hear say. Just because she suffers from depression does not make her a unfit mother. Why would you want to take a baby away from its mother, the baby will need its mother. The court usually favors the women because a baby needs its mother. If you have no proof of her doing anything bad like her going to jail for things than more than likely you will not get full custody. You can do a joint custody where you have a set schedule of who has the baby and when.

   I’m sorry but I agree with beachbum the details you’ve provided are not reasons for her to lose custody but your attitude towards the mother of your child would guarantee you did not get custody. You need to work with her for the sake of your child not against her, your child needs both of you in their life not just one of you, I don’t mean you need to be in a relationship but that you need to work together.

6. Really! Says

   1: You need to do is use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy. Anothers put a cap on it or don’t have sex.
   2: Stop blaming the mother for YOUR wrong doings. When you’re pointing the finger at her, four more fingers are pointing right back at you.
   3: Stop being immature. Grow up dude!
   4: Unless you have actual evidence of her neglecting, harming or endangering the baby, NO court in the land is going to give you custody.
   5: Man up! Get a DNA test, VOLUNTARILY pay child support, and get court ordered visitation.

   And yet neither of you have your own place to live. Your statement about sleeping with girls (multiple) who you thought were the one, which she wasn’t, is very contradictory to me. I hope your child gets the best both of you have to offer…

8. Whizzy Says

   I think you’re just being spiteful.
   Grow up.
   Stupid reasons for trying to get full custody. It would be reasonable and understandable if she was hooked on street drugs, abusing substances whilst pregnant, committing crimes etc etc… But depression, a reputation for partying and sleeping around is jack all.
   Depression is an illness, which is treatable with drugs. Prescribed drugs from a doctor. Having depression doesn’t make someone mentally unstable.
   Teenagers are renouned for being a bit wild. It’s that time of life where you get it all out of your system before you start settling in to life. So what if she’s got drunk and done a bit of ‘try before you buy’, it’s practically right of passage. If anything it’s good that she’s got that out of her system because now she has to grow up and settle down it won’t be hankering at her because she’s already experienced it.
   You’re not exactly anything special yourself mate. Living at home with your parents.. At least she’s taken that step toward independance by moving out. Big whoop she hasn’t got a job, she wouldn’t be able to work with the baby anyway. At least she’s got super supportive parents and that counts for a lot.
   You don’t even know that the baby is yours? Don’t you think you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself?
   It would be best that you sorted out custody on a shared basis if the baby even is yours. You could visit until baby is a few months old and then you could have him or her overnight or the weekend.
   That’d work out best for everyone, especially considering that you won’t be able to care for the baby whilst working.

9. A Says

   Depression is no reason to take a baby away. Millions have it and manage to look after their baby wonderfully. Neither is getting drunk before the baby is born, I’m sure you’ve done it. Grow up and stop being so spiteful.

10. BeachBum Says

    The first thing you need to do is grow up and stop bashing the mother of your child. Courts don’t like that. That she’s a compulsive liar, parties all the time, and can’t keep her legs closed are your opinion, not fact. The courts won’t be interested in hearing your opinion on those things.
    Secondly, depression is the most common mental disorder. Millions of women (and men) have babies and cope with their depression just fine. The fact that she’s taking medication for her depression shows that she understands her condition and that she realizes she needs the medication in order to function properly.
    Remember that you picked this woman to sleep with. She lived with a friend, had a car loan, and didn’t have a job when you had sex with her, so it really makes no difference now.

11. Live and Let Live Says

    i hate to tell you man, but unless the mother of your child is on severe drugs, and you have visible evidence that she is a danger to herself and her child, and has a criminal record, youre not getting custody.
    she is the mother, and the courts will only separate mother from baby under extreme circumstances. that does not include, partying, sleeping around, or taking antidepressants.
    and if it did include those things, more than 1/2 the women in america wouldn’t have their children.

    ‘How the Courts Decide
    In the 1989 Children’s Act, it states that when the court makes any decision about a child, the child’s welfare must be the court’s ‘paramount consideration’. There is a list of key factors they take into account when making their decision:
    Your child’s wishes and feelings. These will be given more consideration the older the child is.
    Your child’s physical, emotional and educational needs. This covers both love & affection and food & housing.
    The likely effect of a change of circumstances on your child. Their greatest concern here will be causing minimum disturbance to the child.
    Your child’s age, sex and background. This could include cultural, religious or disability needs.
    If your child has suffered harm or is at risk of suffering harm. Recently, this also includes any domestic abuse the child has seen or heard.
    The parents’ capabilities with regard to the child’s needs. This can include assessing whether the non-resident parent is capable of caring for the child. Or whether either parent is impaired by drink or drugs.
    The range of powers available to the court. There are a range of orders a court can make. Sometimes they decide no order is necessary.
    More than half of all cases where residency is ordered by a court result in the mother being awarded sole residency. Around one-fifth result in sole residency being awarded to the father (a significant increase from the 1990s). Joint residency is also awarded in approximately one-fifth of divorces.”
