My ex husband is been giving me a lot of problems lattley….We have joint custody but i wana file for full custody ,,,since he leaves the kids with his mother all the time in stead of taking care of them….any advice or input from anyone…thanks

i ready their is legal, physical joint custody. so is joint custody basically when both parents care for the child like maybe one week at a time taking turns, and does that mean neither parents pays child support. and anyone whos experience this, is it difficult to deal with or stressful?

We have joint custody 43,57 split parenting time with father as costidal parent of our 6 year old daughter. if he isnt going to be,or abel to be the person caring for her during his regular parenting time and Ive made it clear that as her mother I want to care for her whenever her father cant or wont be does he have to keep me informed and give me the option of spend that time caring for her befor other childcare provider options?

My wife and I are currently seperated due to a false domestic violence suit filed against me. I’m confident that I will have the charges dropped but after the criminal case is over I would like a divorce in which I obtain joint custody with the children living with me. I currently feel that it is the most realistic expectation. My wife had spent a majority of time with the children because she was not working. She had moved from job to job throughout the entire time she was down here. She is also not native to Florida and is not capable of supporting the children financially. She is not a drug addict or alcoholic, but she is irresponsible. I can provide a better environment for the children to live in but what are the chances of me recieving joint custody in a contested despute?

the foc gave us a joint custody paper the forgives my past due child support and knocks my payments from 600$ to 30$ a month.but a f.i.a worker told my girl that by signing said agreement would cause her to lose daycare and food assistance.we cant afford that because day care alone is 1200$ a month.is there any way to keep her assistance ?

My ex and I have total joint custody of our son. Taxcut is telling me I cannot claim a single penny of my childcare expenses of him if I am not the custodial parent – IE: having him MORE than 50% of the year. Well, we have him equally 50% of the time. Who has him that 1 extra day of the 365 days is pretty much down to random chance. My ex gets to claim him as a dependent this year as per our custody agreement, which I assume would make her the ‘custodial parent’ of the year – but now I have 00 worth of deductible expenses I cannot claim? Is this true? I paid as much for his childcare as she did, but why do I not get to claim it, and is there a way around it? I’m not looking to steal the deduction from her, I just want to claim my HALF of the 00 we paid in expenses.

My ex wants to have joint custody because he says that if anything happens to him my son will get his benefits. He says that my son will not get those intended benefits because he has not legitimized him in his last name. I thought all of that was taken care of when he signed his birth certificate at the hospital.

with me for most of the year, we have a child support case pending and he stated that since he will be paying child support he has the right to file for our son during tax time. My response to him was no because the child resides with me. Can he still claim our son on his taxes even though the child lives with me in Phoenix, AZ. and I have been the one providing care for him during the year. And just assumes he was awarded joint custody can he claim our son on his taxes?

the type of joint custody where the parents alternate taking care of the child, what would happen if one of the parents wanted to move out of town what would happen with the child?

My child is 2 months old. His father lives in WV now (where I reside) and is saying he wants to move back to Florida and wants JOINT CUSTODY. How does this work? I have an appointment with my case worker but not soon enough.
We have no custody rights set up, I have the baby in my care and he lives down the street.He sees him now whenever he wants.
Would I have to put my baby on a plane or would there be some sort of summer custody? Please, i need some answers!

He is 3 years old. We pay 304 plus 200 a month and his income doesn’t even equal enough to pay that and help with the bills. His mother is useless.. good at having babies is about it. we have him at least half of the year if not more. He is in jail right now for back child support and I am having to watch him because she keeps telling me she has things to do…. I don’t think it is my place to watch him while she goes and runs around. but I don’t mind because that way i know he is taken care of. I had to take him to the doc because she wouldnt. Then she got mad i took him. Then i send the medicine home with her to give him and I get him back yesterday and she had left the medicine in her van for two days.. they had to be refrig. So I had to go fork out more money and buy all new.. She is a poor excuse for a mother.. Is there any way we could maybe get custody under these circumstances? at least joint custody. I really need advice.. he has another child with me.. He loves his children more than anything. and does the best he can financially..

I recently moved to California. Court ordered child support, visitation, etc is Arizona. I filed to modify child support and one month later, ex files to increase visitation and get joint custody (I have sole). I have a text where, in response to me asking about his wages for calculations, he says "fine then you’ll be getting my paperwork for custody and visitation".

He has severe control issues and it seems clear that his intent is revenge but does the court care about his intent? I worry about his ability to care for her medical issues (among other things) and he wants to take her for a week at a time during breaks. HELP!
Let me clarify, I received permission from the court and child’s father to move. Furthermore, I fly the child out one weekend a month and he has the ability to come see child once a month and does not. This is what was agreed upon. I moved for work.

Does anyone have experience with joint custody when the primary care giver moves out of state? And not just out of state but 5 – 10 hours away? (The location is undecided at this point.)
Anyone dealt with this change? Legally can the former spouse stop you from moving? Would the visitation just change from every other weekend to just longer visits less frequently? Just trying to gather some information before it is actually needed……
Thanks so much!

I am a divorced father trying to join the Air Force but there is a hold up because I have joint custody. I have taken care of most of the paperwork and am waiting on a date for my physical but haven’t received one yet. I haven’t received a definite that the hold up is due to custody but was told by my recruiter that it might be the issue and he has no idea on the issue. I am curious to know if anybody has had to go through this and if so what was the outcome or the solution to have the opportunity to join. Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

he also gets her every other weekend and we split the holidays. i just need to know if the time im at work is considered child care or is it joint custody. there is no court involvment.

my husband and I are currently seperated. I am wanting joint custody with primary care. our daughter is 5 years old and I believe that this would be best for her. of course, her father disagrees with me and thinks we should do joint custody 50/50. He continues to say that he is giving up all rights to his daughter if he agrees to what I am asking. He has just received a DWI and has a suspended drivers license. Will this affect the judges decision? He also is wanting to call a friend of mine to court because he thinks we have a sexual relationship. How will this affect this man? he has full custody of his children and I don’t want to cause him any problems. I am very confused and really don’t know what to do.

My ex-husband & I have joint custody, although my son lives w/me, he only goes with his dad twice a wk. I do not receive child support, but my ex pays for our son’s school (pre-K).

Now, when filing our taxes, may I be able to claim our son as my dependant, and then have my ex file for the child care expenses?
