Depending on the state you reside in, I know VA you can. You should be able to fileseparately for child support and custody. Then later have the provisions added to your final divorce decree. If you are living separately and have reason to believe that custody will become an issue, you are risking a lot by not going to the courthouse and simply attempting to file for it. If you don't have an attorney to advise you, get on line and start doing research in your states on line law library. Sometimes, in nasty situations, people are unaware that a divorce can take a long time, however custody is usually quickly resolved and without it, either parent can take off with the child wherever they choose. Good luck.

The custody issue should have been addressed in the divorce proceeding. You cannot reopen that case immediately since the court will be reviewing the same evidence. Generally, you need to wait until there is a significant change in circumstances. You should consult with the attorney who represented you in the divorce.


Can a father get custody of a child during a divorce if the mother is seeing someone before the divorce?

The fact that a parent is seeing someone else before a divorce takes place should have no impact on custody whatsoever, unless the other parent feels that the third party would have a negative impact on the child, or would endanger the child in any way. As each case is judged individually, you need to get a lawyer.

Before you decide on divorce take time out for yourself (go on a weekend trip) and be sure this is what you want.

Can you get divorced first in the state of Nevada before custody of the kids is granted?

I live in Nevada and have seen enough divorces (who in Nevada hasn't?) to know that yes, you can get divorced before custody is decided in Nevada. In fact, most of the cases here (at least the ones I've seen) are settled this way and custody cases are usually heard seprately. But if you choose to do so, you can also have custody settled at the same time as the divorce.
