It all depends on what state your in. Every state has a different family court system. I just recently went through this same situation but I was never married. Which makes a huge difference..Being married is a harder decision for family court. If you decide to leave him and remain in the same state as the child's father you should have no problem remaining the primary custodial parent (meaning the child will live with you allowing the father visitation) and joint custody should be awarded to you both. With equal visitation until the child starts school. You can always call family law attorneys and ask for a free consultation too. That helped me. Don't get to cocky or believe what people say about the courts not taken the children away because it has happened and can happen. Just find out and research as much as possible and what you need to know before you go to court...AND YES, definitely get a job...You need to prove that you can take care of the child even with out his help granted they will order him to pay..GOOD LUCK with everything..This is definitely a hard situation to deal w/..Let me know if you have any questions...I really know my stuff and I''m still going through it..Its like a never ending process. So exhausting... Take Care. I'll definitely keep you in my prayers and pray for the child too! Hopefully its not to tough on them!Im married and wanting to leave my husband can i get custody?
If he does not know he is being recorded (video or tape) it will not hold up in court. He legally has to know he is being video-taped or the judge will throw that piece of evidence out. Honestly, in most states, it is extremely hard to get a child taken away from their mother. The father would have to prove the mother unfit (saying that you beat your child, do drugs in front of him, etc. --which he would need proof) --most likely, if neither of you have hardcore proof against the other, they will grant joint custody. You will have the boy one week and him the next; or he will have him every weekend or every other weekend.





I hope everything works out!
i think you just need to get together and discuss this civilly. Because filming someone with out consent can be seen as a crime. i believe Richard Nixon was impeached for something close to that.





You'll have to get a lawyer, that is plain but you better hope you get one thats better than his. and Hope you get a judge that favors mothers rights to children.
Go ahead and record him. When I was little, my dad recorded my mom without her knowing and he got custody of me. They will give the mother custody unless she is proved to be unfit.
You're the mum chances are you'll get custody anyway. Unless you're taking drugs or are in jail the chances are you'll get custody. Mum's normally always get custody.
Unless you can PROVE that he is abusive or cannot support them, expect to get SHARED custody.
im not sure if youll get custody but thee absolute worse case senario is that yi=ouu guyys each get 50% custody
You'll probably be given shared custody.
