Hi I am posting this for the father, no access to computer.
I have been sent a letter to be in court in a couple of days for child support, going through a mediation thing. I am in no means trying to get out of my responsilbility. I was wondering if there is a chance I can get custody of my child.... my ex girlfriend recently moved back home with her parents with my 3 year daughter. I work nights and I watch my daughter during the day while her mother works, 730am-630pm and I also have her every weekend during the day and I than take her back to her grandparents. Let me just say it is her grandmother that brings and picks up my daughter everyday. I have become close with the grandparents because of my daughter. I have been told and also seen that the mother will come home take a shower and leave for serveral days, weekends she is never at home. The grandmother takes care of my daughter in the evenings, because the mother is never home, nor does she ever call... Now this is the same person taking me to court for child support. I have my own apt live on my own, not rich by no mean but I do ok. I buy my daugther clothes, shoes and we spend our time going to the parks movies etc etc.... none of which her mother does with her.
Now can I get child support from the mother and have enough grounds to get sole custody? or is there such a thing of getting joint custody with the grandparents?
My concern is the mother maybe sees my daughter maybe once a week, i am grateful for the grandparents. Can a drug test be requested at the mediation? as well.
Me and my ex gf are 20 and 21, any advice will help
dad trying to do the best for his daughter.
