What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA
MY EX AND I HAVE A FOUR AND A HALF YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TOGETHER. FROM THE TIME THAT OUR DAUGHTER WAS BORN UNTIL SHE WAS THREE YEARS OLD, HE VERY RARELY IF EVER VISISTED OUR DAUGHTER. SHE DID NOT EVER VISIT HIM ALONE OR STAY THE NIGHT AT HIS HOUSE. FROM THE AGE OF THREE UNTIL SHE WAS FOUR, HE DID NOT HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH OUR DAUGHTER. ALSO, DURING THIS FOUR YEAR PERIOD HE NEVER PAID ANY CHILD SUPPORT. AFTER I TOOK HIM TO COURT TO ESTABLISH PATERNITY (HE KNEW HE WAS THE FATHER, BUT DID NOT WANT TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT), WE AGREED TO A CHILD CUSTODY AND CHILD SUPPORT ARRANGEMENT OUTSIDE OF THE COURT. HOWEVER, WE NEVER FILED IT WITH THE COURT. IT IS SIGNED AND NOTARIZED. MY DAUGHTERS FATHER HAS FAILED TO ABIDE BY THIS AGREEMENT. MOST OF THE TIME HE CANNOT TAKE HER OR HAS TO DROP HER OFF EARLY BECAUSE HE HAS TO WORK. HE IS ALSO NOT PAYING HIS CHILD SUPPORT WHICH IS TWO THIRDS LESS THEN THE GUIDELINE AMOUNTS. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE AGREEMENTS TO THE COURT TO GET THEM FILED, I WAS INFORMED THAT HE AND I BOTH NEED TO STIPULATE TO THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT. HOWEVER, HE DOES NOT WANT TO BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE WILL HAVE TO THEN PAY GUIDELINE CHILD SUPPORT. SO, NOW HE WANT 50/50 PHYSICAL CUSTODY. I AM OPEN TO A NEW PARENTING PLAN WHERE HE GETS MORE TIME WITH OUR DAUGHTER. HOWEVER, I AM OPPOSED TO 50/50 PHYSICAL CUSTODY. HE WILL NOT AGREE TO ANYTHING LESS THAN HALF CUSTODY AND SAYS THAT IS HOW THE COURT WILL RULE ANYWAY. HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO ABIDE BY THE AGREEMENTS WE HAVE NOW AND OUR DUAGHTER HAS ONLY KNOWN ME AS HER PRIMARY CAREGIVER. PLEASE ALSO NOTE, THAT I AM NOT PREVENTING HIM FROM SEEING OUR DAUGHTER EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THAT THE CURRENT AGREEMENT WE HAVE IN PLACE IS UNENFORABLE.
SO, BASICALLY MY QUESTION IS, IS WHAT IS THE LIKLIHOOD THAT THE COURT WOULD AWARD HIM 50/50 PHYSICAL CUSTODY.What is the name of your state?CALIFORNIA
