What is the name of your state? GA
I need some legal advice to see how to proceed. My ex husband and I have joint legal custody and I have primary custody of our 12 year old son. My ex has had limited involvement with our son since we divorced (uncontested, self-filed), and has recently(though he has had a history of drug abuse) pled guilty to cocaine possession with 5 years probation/fine/community service/drug rehab ordered. He is entitled to standard visitation but he has chosen not to fulfill his parental responsibilities (including child support). Due to lack of funds, transportation, and a secure household, the times he has seen our son have only been in my home. I would like to make these arrangements legal so that he doesn't have the opportunity to put my son into an unsafe situation. Can I obtain sole custody with supervised visitation without having to seek legal representation? What forms would I need and how may I obtain them? Thanks for any advice!!
