|
|
Hello Friend! I got divorced from my cheating husband a few months back. My only child, 2 year old boy is staying with me. Although his father tried a couple of times to take him from me, I have never allowed him to see the boy. Now I am hearing that he is trying to get my boy legally. I am court won't take a child away from his mom, but my friends are advising me to contact a child custody lawyer like monteithbaker.com/practice-areas/family-law/custody-and-access/ to defend my case. I don't understand the need for a lawyer. He is the one who cheated on me and what court will take a 2 year old from his mom and give to a cheater. Can someone advise me on this? |

Yes of course he is the one who cheated on you, but he is the father of the child and he also have the right to take the child with him. If you want to keep your child with you, you need to have a lawyer or at least some good resources, you can talk to them about the whole stuff and can get your baby's custody. |

I agree with KyleCClark. You definitely need a lawyer to solve your child custody issue. |

Just because you're the mom doesn't mean you automatically get the child. If you are an unmarried mother you have 100% of rights until the father establishes paternity. Married couples get equal rights to a child until divorced. Once divorced a court determines custody based on the best interests of the child. |

Agreed. You need a good lawyer. It sucks now but you'll get through it. Good luck. |
