Asilee Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Me and my husband are going through a divorce. It got nasty today and he's talking about going through a custody battle. He haven't provided for his son, came to any of his appointments, bought him any clothes or diapers but he wants full custody of his son. My husband was living with me at my apartment, he was supposed to get on the lease but he didn't sign the papers. I kicked him out this last time for good because I've gotten sick of the abuse. I've gotten sick of calling Mobile Crisis telling them I really don't want to kill myself but it's so hard not to think about it. My point is, if we go to court, what am I going to expect? What do I need to provide? Do I apply for full custody or shared custody?
Yasuandio Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Reporting to Mobile Crisis that "it is so hard not to think about it (killing yourself)" is not unlike telling them there is a possibility you may actually "kill yourself." I certainly hope you have followed up with the treatment plan the Mobile Crisis has provided you. Of course, reaching out for help when you have any thoughts of "harming yourself" is exactly the correct thing to do, therefore, I also hope you are under the constant care of a doctor. Following through on your treatment, and seeking ongoing counciling can demonstrates to any Court that (a) you are a person responsible and capable of not only taking "the best" care of yourself when you are in crisis, but, also (b) the progress you have made in overcoming your emotional problems that have been reported. Taking care of yourself has a direct impact on how you can take care of a child. Do you agree with that? Do you understand what I am telling you here? Yas Edited May 10, 2012 by Yasuandio
