My husband and I have been separated for a little over 7 months; we are waiting for the year that we have to wait in VA to get the divorce. I agreed to joint physical custody b/c he is a good father, and I think it's important for little boys to have their father around when they are growing up. Recently though, his dad and I haven't been getting along well at all, and I just found out that while he had our son with him at his mother's, he had to go into work for a few hours and left him with her. She had to go to work, so she left him with the neighbor. I have never met this woman, or even seen her, and my son has special needs. He is transplant recipient and still has a feeding tube, so he can't be left with %26quot;just anyone%26quot;. He didn't even tell me that he was leaving him there, and that is what I am upset about. If I can't trust him to tell me where my son is, how can I let him take him? I have tried to explain this to him and asked him to from now on please tell me if he is leaving him someplace, especially if I don't know them, but of course he got defensive and said he did nothing wrong. How do I go about changing the custody to full for myself? Do I need a lawyer?How do I go about filing for custody of my son?You seem to have a good relationship with your husband. Instead of severing that relationship by making aggressive moves why don't you really, seriously talk to him and agree on appropriate child care for your son.
If that doesn't work out you may want to try mediation or last case a lawyer.How do I go about filing for custody of my son?Yes, You need a lawyer if you want to win. Good Luck.How do I go about filing for custody of my son?Talk to your lawyer, if you don't have one get one. You can keep joint custody which you will want to do because your son needs a wide support system, but have the lawyer draw up guidelines that need to be followed and state what the consequences will be if all guidelines are not followed.How do I go about filing for custody of my son?First of all it is your and his. you can not keep say he is my son. (our son)
Second, the little boy stay home with grandma.
A grandmother can also going to court and file for visitation.
So calm down girl. dad and grandmother love the boy as much as you love that little boy.
