What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
My daughters father filed a petition for joint custody. I do not agree with this decision at all. We cannot even agree on anything as it is, let along everything be a joint decision. As of right now he gets her per Indiana visitation parenting guidelines. He has a lengthy driving record, a battery charge and a few others I will attach. He has tried to commit suicide in 2009 while under the influence of pill and alcohol and drove off into a pond and was in a coma and from a close friend I have heard he has been hospitalized a few times since then for suicidal tendencies. She was born in 2007 and he was not in her life until 2009 ( RIGHT after the suicide incident ) in court he begged the judge to sign his rights over the judge denied and told him it was not that easy to do. Ordered child support. I requested supervised visited since the incident just happened and they denied that! He also still lives at his parents home and the child does not have her own room there. I just wanted opinions on this and what I should do, as of right now I do not have the money to get an attorney, I do but its saved money and I really really hate to unless I absolutely should. Also, as for a little about me, I have 4 other children, married for 5 years, in the same home for 3.5 years and same job for 5 years in October and no criminal history.
