his life after about 2 years because i moved away and traveled for my job and we are starting to see him now and I’m trying to get joint custody of him but i owe the mother back child support would they still look at me as a bad father if i was trying to get him back into my life and had a stable home and job ..and the mother is living off the government and she got arrested for heroin and child neglect with injury and the child was sexually abused while he was in foster care and they wouldn’t like me take my child because he was in wv and i was in tx i would have had to quit my job and move back up here and never would have found a job here or a house in that amount of time so he stayed in foster care for 7 months while she was in rehab just getting a slap on the wrist..so what do you think my chances are of getting joint custody I’m trying to make everything rite
and for the record for those of you that think i left my x for a nother women because im just a dead beat your wrong because I didn’t she was abusive to me mentaly and physicly and what was i suppost to do when all she ever did was fight with me infront of my child and leave me when he was 6 months old and went with a drug addict that i didn’t know about untill she went to jail for narcotics so there for im not the bad one and i have had it ruff the past 2 years every job is dead end she went to court stating i made 2700 a month when i was in texas and i was only making 1200 a month and they exspected me to pay her 500 a month so i dont know how that works but yeah!

I think you have every right to go after your son. Especially if the mother is the way that she is. Since the records show she’s unfit and been in rehab, I would hire an attorney, show all of the proof you have that you are stable, and see what happens. Your ace in the hole here is that the mother was proven unfit and is a drug head. Most men DON’T have that kind of information to prove, you know? Good luck!!
your chances are pretty good especially given her past. And if you are in WV now they Love to grant shared parenting. It’s pretty much 50/50 custody. BTW your Visitation is not based on whether you have paid your child support or not. You get visitation no matter what.
It sounds like you may be the best chace this poor child has. Don’t think about the odds or the past indescrestions. get involved in this innocent child’s life!!! She doesn’t deserve the bad hand she has been dealt. Make her know she is worthy of love. God bless her and you.
You need to file for full custody the mother is not stable to take care of the child.
Hmm… Well honestly like u said you havent been taking care of your responsibilities either – it’s so much easier if you would have – but You neglected your kid as well. Its a shame your child have to go through that.
Your son was molested and his mother was a drug addict while you were off getting remarried and having more children. You didnt want to quit your job to be with him because you wouldnt be able to find another job for 7 months. My opinion is you are both trash and neither one of you deserve him. Probabaly not what you wanted to be told. Read your question objectively as an outsider and see what you think of yourself. I have 2 sons, one in heaven, he died in a horrible accident and I would give up anything to have him back. I damn sure wouldnt be worried about my frigging job. Of course I also wouldnt have turned my back just to go make more kids either.
