Okay, the daddy was not a great father for the first 2 years of her life (drinking, partying etc.) so I left. I met someone else (A woman) and we have been together for 6 months. At first, we tried sharing time equally with him. But after quite a few times of finding out he 1. Didn't bother to change his work schedule to spend time with her, which he did have the option of doing; and 2. Left her with his family to go hang out with friends or a girl we decided to change the schedule. Also, he lives in a 2 bedroom place with 4 other people (3 are males ages 11, 17 and 40) and kept getting the water/electric shut off. I decided it was in my daughter's best interest not to stay the night there. He gets her twice a week for 10 hours both days. He does not discipline her, lets her do what she wants. So when she comes back, she has a major attitude. Another reason we decided to limit the time they spend together. I would like to leave the state temporarily for a visit to my girlfriends family, and so we can get our marriage license. I talked to him about it and he said he doesn't want her leaving the state, and that I need to leave her with him.
