My best advice is focus on what is best for your son-- when you are addressing the court everything you say should highlight why your plan benefits your son more than what your ex is wanting.
For example, when I went to mediation I told the mediator that shared custody wasn't going to work due to the distance between my son's father's residence and ours.. I also requested supervised visitation because my ex had spent less than 10 hours with his son in almost a year. I didnt think it would benefit my child, or his father to be thrown into an every-other-weekend scenario at his age, and with an almost stranger.
They agreed and I have majority physical custody, ex has visitation, pays child support and was put on a supervised visitation plan until my son was 2 years old.
Quoting malimommy81410:Im going thru a custody battle right now... im tryitng to get full cusotdy with visatation for his father any advice ??
unless you are a danger to your child you shouldnt worry too much about him 'taking him away for good' Just show that you have a stable home environment for your son, and offer the Dad reasonable access to his child. Good luck :o)
