    Do I Have A Shot At Getting Custody Of My Kid? (Serious Topic)

    This is a really sensitive issue for me but I feel like I need some advices in what I should do because I've never been in this situation before in my life.

    My story goes like this (Real long):
    I've been with this woman for 2 1/2 years. She is from Boston but we met in Seattle (where I am from). When she told me she was pregnant two years into the realationship she was back in Boston. I flew out there to be with her during her pregnacy and lived with her (mistake I regret making.)

    Everyone told me I was rushing it but I was an idiot and at the time really thought she was the one but I guess I was wrong. Might I add while she was pregnant with my son she already had a 4 year old son. At first everything went well untill her first babydaddy got in the way. I watched her kid alot when I was living in Boston while she goes out clubbing and pregnant with my unborn child at the time.

    My heart tells me I should leave but I didn't want to leave her all alone and pregnant with my seed inside her. Throughout her pregnacy she was smoking the whole time (9 months no lie), she's alwys going to the clubs, and even hanging out with her first babydaddy. One time she went out to Providence with the guy for 2 days and didn't come home. She tried to deny it by saying she was at her mother's but her sister was honest and told me the truth. What's even more sad is while they were in Rhode Island I was at home watching their 4 year old son.

    We had a big fight because I told her to stop smoking because she is pregnant and it's not healthy for our kid. so I left and stayed at a friends house for a few days to kool off. When I came back it got even worse. We had another big fight because I had friends over watching Monday Night Football and I didn't want to spend time with her so she embarrasses me in front of my friends by calling me names so I cussed her out and called her the B word and she called the cops and I got arrested for disturbance. I did a day in jail.

    On Valentines day she said she had to work but a guy I know told me he saw her with her first babydaddy. By then I was already over her and didn't care anymore. I stayed with this women untill my son was 3 months and flew back to Seattle because I couldn't put up with the cheating, the lies and just the negative vibe she was giving me. I felt bad for leaving my son but I had no choice.

    The Good News:
    When my son turned 11 months she brought him to Seattle to be with me for a few months. When she came to bring my son to me she was once again pregnant with another man. This is going to be her 3rd kid with another guy she just met. So that is 3 babydaddy's. She stayed with me for a few days when she dropped off my son and she was still smoking while pregant with her 3rd child. My son ended up staying with me for a year untill he was 2, 2 and a half. But deep down inside the reason I felt she only came to get him back was because tax season was coming up and she wanted to claim him.

    A few months later she called me and said child protective service was on her tail and she wanted to bring my son to stay with me for a while untill things "cooled off" so I agreed and bought them a plane ticket to come back. By then her 3rd child was already a a few months old. The kid came too. She dropped off my son and left with her third child. My son ended up staying with me for the next two years. He is 4 now. For the past two years my son has been with me she claimed him each when she does her income tax. Even without seeing him for that long. So obviously it isn't going to my son.

    (The Messed Up News)
    Last week she flew back here to take my son back with her and she is staying with me untill tommorow. You know what is also sad. She is once again pregnant with a 4th babydaddy and I am not lying, I put that on my kid and to top it off she is still smoking. The love for her is gone and I no longer have any respect for her. The reason why I feel she is taking my son back is so she can prove she has custody of my kid after doing her taxes even though she hasn't been with him for two years.

    Is there a legit chance of me winning custody of my kid if I take her to court? I have a criminal record when I was 18 for misdemeanor 3rd degree assault but I am 26 now turning 27 in March will they not use that against me or will it hurt my chances? My son means everything to me and to see him go away on Sunday (tommorow) is really hurting me.

    I assume since you've been taking care of him for two years now... they'll probably look favorably on you for that.

    Good luck.

      Will my record in my past play a role you think?

      I asked her the other day how does it feel being pregnant for the 4th time with a 4th dude? You know what she told me? "I don't care I am giving up this kid to mother anyways." WTF is that? Can I use that in court?

        I think you have a great chance at winning. I mean she has 4 kids with 4 different guys. That enough should help you plus you have taken care of him for the past 2 years. I would fight for your son. I dont think your past will hurt you. Its been a good 8-9 years since that so you should be good. Good luck man.

          I think you should speak to a lawyer ASAP. You should also call Child Services on her and tell that she's been smoking while pregnant so they will be on her tail again and will aid you in getting custody. Good luck.

            She is leaving tommorow with my son. How do I take this to court cause she lives in Boston and I reside in Seattle? If I want to take this to trial in Seattle will she have to fly back? Because no offense to any New Englanders out there but I don't ever want to step foot in that region after what this bitch put me through.

                Just wondering, does she have a record also?

                Because from what I can gather, she does not seem to be the type to stay out of trouble. Not only that, but she has had 4 kids with 4 guys. That can't look good in court.

                  Damn dude, that is insane. That girl is the epitome of what is terrible in this country. A leech on society. Does she have a job? Or is she just collecting child support from all her Babydaddys?

                  Is she really hot? How can so many guys knock her up? Does she cling to you when banging so you can't pull out or something?


                  Anyway, it seems like you have a good head on your shoulders, and if you tell your story I would think that a court would sympathize with you. Not sure though, I have heard that courts like to side with mothers alot of the time. Your kids mom sounds like a straight trainwreck though so Im sure you can dig up some dirt.


                  Damn dude.

                    Take that bitch to town!

                    Hope you get custody and sounds like you should.

                      1st thing to do is certainly get yourself a lawyer.

                      2nd thing to do is dont ever think you have an open and shut case at all. I lost my son in a somewhat similar fashion and even though I had a lawyer, I lost the case.

                      The short and quick version...

                      Not married, son was born 3 weeks before I deployed to Korea
                      I bought an apt in Korea and sent her $460 a month for support for the baby.
                      Sent extra money so she could get a passport etc..
                      She never came...
                      Got letters saying she wanted some other dude to be the father..
                      Cheated on me with no less than 4 diff guys while I was in Korea..
                      Deployed to Iraq from Korea
                      She got preg with another dude while I was in Iraq..
                      Came home and she wanted me back...but no way was I gonna take her back after that.
                      Said I would never see my son again...
                      8 months later I got paperwork saying she has full custody and I have no rights.

                      I never knew it went to court in the first place..
                      Her mom forged my signature and swore under penatly of perjury that I was served court papers at her house in Cali on the 27th of Nov...
                      On the 27th of Nov I was still in Iraq...

                      Got hit with welfare fraud...found out she wasnt reporting the $460 month I was sending her and cali was giving her Cash aid and they wanted ME to pay it back??

                      She OD'd on drugs a week before our scheduled court date where I was challenging the custody ruling.

                      Lawyer said it was a slam dunk case, paid over $5000 in attorney fees to get my son back.
                      Lawyer put together all the paperwork necessary, so it wasnt a problem with my lawyer sucking.

                      1) We proved she commited welfare fraud because I contacted western union and my bank and got all receipts showing all the money I sent her, with my name and address clearly on them...so there was no way she could NOT have known where I was like she told Cali.

                      2) We proved they commited perjury because there was no way possible I was served custody paperwork in Cali and in the middle of a war in Iraq at the same friggen time.

                      3) Laywer obtained records to her drug overdose the week prior to court and stumbled upon more information where we found out that this was the 3rd time this had happened and now had a criminal record since I had first been deployed...

                      End result...

                      I must pay restitution to the state of Cali for the welfare fraud in the tune of over $21,000 . Even though I have paperwork proving I sent money, they deem ME responsible to pay back what SHE was given since she has no job...WTF is that crap.

                      I have ZERO parental rights because I somehow made a "choice" not to be in my sons life....regardless that I was in the military and had purchased an apartment for them to join me in Korea ( and had paperwork documenting this )

                      I have not seen my son in 8 years....he is 8 years old..

                      My child support has been raised to over $500 a month even though I am not making what I was while in the military...but was raised to cover her "quality of life" that she was used to while I was in the military.


                      End of the day...no one can tell you what will happen. You could get your child, or you can be screwed for the next 16-18 years. Depends on what side of the bed the judge wakes up on.

                      Women WILL win the child custody cases well over 90% of the time.

                      I wish you well and hope you never have to go through what I have.

                          She's not hot nor is she ugly. I'd give a 6.5-7 on the 10 scale. I piped better looking chicks in my days.

                            A story like that just makes me so damn sad inside. How can a judge even make that ruling? It doesn't make sense to me.

                              Her mom forged my signature and swore under penatly of perjury that I was served court papers at her house in Cali on the 27th of Nov...
                              On the 27th of Nov I was still in Iraq...

                              Got hit with welfare fraud...found out she wasnt reporting the $460 month I was sending her and cali was giving her Cash aid and they wanted ME to pay it back??

                              She OD'd on drugs a week before our scheduled court date where I was challenging the custody ruling.

                              Lawyer said it was a slam dunk case, paid over $5000 in attorney fees to get my son back.
                              Lawyer put together all the paperwork necessary, so it wasnt a problem with my lawyer sucking.

                              1) We proved she commited welfare fraud because I contacted western union and my bank and got all receipts showing all the money I sent her, with my name and address clearly on them...so there was no way she could NOT have known where I was like she told Cali.

                              2) We proved they commited perjury because there was no way possible I was served custody paperwork in Cali and in the middle of a war in Iraq at the same friggen time.

                              3) Laywer obtained records to her drug overdose the week prior to court and stumbled upon more information where we found out that this was the 3rd time this had happened and now had a criminal record since I had first been deployed...

                              End result...

                              I must pay restitution to the state of Cali for the welfare fraud in the tune of over $21,000 . Even though I have paperwork proving I sent money, they deem ME responsible to pay back what SHE was given since she has no job...WTF is that crap.

                              I have ZERO parental rights because I somehow made a "choice" not to be in my sons life....regardless that I was in the military and had purchased an apartment for them to join me in Korea ( and had paperwork documenting this )

                              I have not seen my son in 8 years....he is 8 years old..

                              My child support has been raised to over $500 a month even though I am not making what I was while in the military...but was raised to cover her "quality of life" that she was used to while I was in the military.


                              End of the day...no one can tell you what will happen. You could get your child, or you can be screwed for the next 16-18 years. Depends on what side of the bed the judge wakes up on.

                              Women WILL win the child custody cases well over 90% of the time.

                              I wish you well and hope you never have to go through what I have.


                              Man I thought my situation was bad. Yours made mines look like nothing. What you just typed is what scares me. What if I lose and never get to see my kid ever again. My babymama is the type to not let me see my kid if I take this to trial because she is an evil bitch. Alot of people have told me it's an open and shut case but what if it isn't and everything backfires on me despite me raising my son the last two years.
