i am with my so and he treats me like shit, i was wanting to know that if i left him can he take the kids if i have custody of them and he has vistiation on the weekends only. he cant even help us get a place of our own.
i am talking to a real good friend and he can support me and my kids and is willing to let us live with him and not pay a single bill, but the guy i am with right now would rather spend the money then pay bills. please help me i want out but need to know about the custody thing first.
my ds and dd

EDIT
I HAVE CUSTODY OF THE KIDS, HE HAS 3 OTHER KIDS THAT HE DONT EVEN BOTHER TO TAKE CARE OF. WE ARE NOT MARRIED. THE OTHER GUY LOVES MY KIDS. THE ONE I AM WITH HAS A CRIMINAL PAST AND IS ON PROBATION AND DOES NOT EVEN PAY HIS COURT FINES OR CHILD SUPPORT.
ugh - sick to my stomach reading this shit.
but no. He can't take custody of the kids just because you leave him. AS long as you can provide a clean home, food, utilities and keep them safe, he can't take them.
Does your "friend" have a criminal past? That might be an issue if so.
Gosh, I hate seeing posts like this. Jumping from one man to the next and dragging your kids along for the ride. Smh .
Do you have a job? Do you have a degree, certification, or skill you can put to use to make money?
You CAN be an independent woman who can provide for her kids without needing to depend on a man.

Sigh. How about YOU step up to the plate and at least TRY to support your children *INSTEAD* of relying on some man.

Just because she is letting a friend help her doesn't mean she isn't trying to support her family. SMH at jumping to conclusions.......

Thanks.
& miss lady he can't unless you prove to the judge that you can provide a safe home for your kids.
you would have to go to court and get full legal custody, otherwise yes he can take them if he wants and theres nothing you can really do.
Unless you have a custody order in place he can fail to return the children to you with no consequences.
