...have a better environment? As of May 2008 I have been separated from my sons father "Gary". I called Family Law to set custody for our son. We got joint custody stating on papers that my sons primary resident is with his father. I made it that way because at the time I did not have a permanent resident. At first, I did get my son every weekend, and I went and stayed with my son and his father. But after a little while things started to change. I got a boyfriend, and he got a girlfriend. After that, he always uses excuses that I can't have my son; like, he has no money for gas even though I offer him money, or his car is broken once again, and plenty of other lame things. My sons father is still in love with me, he tells me every day, and he only wants to be with his girlfriend for dumb reasons. I am currently 39 weeks pregnant, and I asked to have my son this weekend and my sons father said no because he doesn't think it would be right if I were to go into labor while my son was here, he said it's not a place for a 3 year old to be around. Out of the last 3 months, I seen my son maybe 3 times. He always uses things against me, like, I shouldn't have left him, I shouldn't have gotten pregnant, blah blah blah. Two bad things about his father is he just moved into a one bedroom apartment which he shares with my son, but he can afford a 2 bedroom, also, his girlfriend is only 16 while he is 22... I want to take him back to court because I feel I have a better situation for him with me. One problem is, is that I have a criminal record as of June 2009. It is an assault and break-and-enter. I did house-arrest and 30 days jail time for it. I have taken anger-management for it as well. But I have no past of anger problems while my sons father does. I am currently on probation.. is that bad to take into court? Also, my sons father was called on by social services for breaking my mothers door and window while my son was in the house. My sons father also abused me for the entire time we were together 4 years. If I take this to court, would I win??? I have also saved e-mails of him saying why I can't have him and that he loves me and that I shouldn't have left him in the first place... so what should I do????
I have criminal record, but I want primary custody of my son ... would I win if I...
