My new husband and I are trying to have a child. I have a daughter from my last marriage..she is 4 years old. Her father is the custodial parent (long story...I was not found unfit). I have her every other weekend Friday night to Monday morning and Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 - 9pm.
My question...if we are blessed with a child, would this assist in the court changing custody? We were plannning on filing for modification next year anyway but I was wondering if a sibling would be a blessing in more ways than we originally thought.
I have been formally divorced for over a year.
We have joint legal custody, but he makes all decisions based on his wants, not my input or her welfare. On his Holidays (we alternate), he works and gives our child to his parents to care for rather than me. On Mondays and Friday's she is watched by his parents. I work from home on Friday's but he will not allow me to have her. He will not allow me to pick up or drop her off at school, and on days that I am off and she is not in school, I am instructed to bring her to his parents home. He will not let me care for her even though I am a fit and loving mother.
There are many other instances, but I don't want to make this too long.
In a nutshell, is having a sibling enough of a change of circumstance and would there be an actual trial to change custody? I live in New Jersey
Thak you so very much
