Stop listening to him. In most jurisdictions he would have to prove you are an unfit parent and the child would be better off in his custody. Just make sure you are providing a stable, safe environment and taking good care of your son. Make sure his educational and medical requirements are being fulfilled. Put your own needs on hold and do everything you can to meet your son's needs with what must be limited resources. Concentrate on taking care of your son. It sounds like he needs all your attention right now. Ignore his father's threats. It is unlikely that he will ever be able to provide a more stable home for your son if you work hard to create one now.
The rights your ex-husband will have once you divorce will all depend on what the judge rules. He could have joint custody or split custody.
most likely he will lose his rights til the judge decides what is best for the child.
It would be highly unusual for a judge to grant sole custody in such a situation. She would have to be deemed an unfit parent by the court or consent to the custody arrangement.
You now only have physical custody, but both you and your husband have equal custody rights to the child. That means he has a right to have physical custody too, and will not get into any trouble if he physically takes the child into his care. If you are afraid he might take the child, you will need to obtain a temporary custody order, signed by a judge, to make sure you become the custodial parent. That said, depending on your husband, the longer you have physical custody of the child, the more difficult it will be for your husband to obtain legal custody should you divorce.
Judicial custody is when you are held by order of a judge and are not necessarily charged with anything.Police custody is when you are charged with something and are in the custody of the police.
Talking to his lawyer would be the best idea. You can then return to the judge and appeal that the order is not being followed, so perhaps custody should be changed (provided you can prove that you are responsible enough).
yes, she can get a divorce in a Canadian Court however, the custody of said child will have to be a decision for a family court judge
That's the common tactic in order to go for full custody, but hopefully the judge will order bird nest custody. see link below
If mediation fails for any reason, then it falls to the judge to determine custody.
Prove them wrong
If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.
