What is the name of your state ? - Washington State.
I am a father of a 4 month old son. I usually go to work everyday in the morning, and come over during the afternoon to my wife and son, and nothing is done. She doesn't clean, do the dishes, laundry, all she does is sit down all day watching TV or on the computer. When I am home she does not take care of my son, she always has me do it. Every morning I get woken up by my son before work and I take care of him and wake my wife up to breastfeed because he's hungry and she won't wake up. I'm told by my roomates that while I'm at work this happens where she doesn't wake up to care for him, letting him scream for 30-40 minutes before finally waking up, only then to place him on her breast and fall back to sleep. They have had to wake her up on several occasions. I've heard someone tell me that while visiting over there, how she was bragging that I'm such a good husband because I work and come home and clean the apartment, do dishes, cook, and everything else while she sits around all day. They have also seen her smoking inside with my son next to her, saying he'll be just fine. This was without my knowledge because I always have her smoke outside. Many people have witnessed her letting my son cry for 30 minutes while she is awake on the computer, outside smoking, or even inside smoking next to him, saying that it's good for his lungs and he can wait.
I have witness statements from my 2 roomates, my mother, and another who have come over and seen all of this.
I'm fighting for full custody of my son, because she doesn't take care of him, and doesn't put him first. She cares for herself, and uses him to get attention. (She got pregnant on purpose to keep me).
She has gotten drunk and stoned on several occasion, and proceeded to breastfeed our son.
On our first hearing, she addmitted that my son is no longer breastfed because he wont take her breast anymore, and that she has attempted overdosing suicide in the past.
Things are looking pretty good on my side, but it's still hard for a father to get full custody against a mother, even one so neglectant towards her own son I am told. Any advice you could give me would be appriciated,
