Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
Child Custody
How may I go about retaining full custody of my son. From a man whom is Muslim and is a manipulating, exagerating, liar, whom also has been abusive to me physically, mentally and well as emotionally. We were in a relationship for 9 yrs before I decided to leave, after 11/2 yrs. I found out he was married. Told me that it was an arranged marriage. Always lived with me the entire time and always came home at night. He made be believe his lies, never derived from his routine with me. He & his family have 23 properties within the Chicagoland area, of which, at least one third have been paid off. I can't deal with the emotional distress I go through with him anymore. I don't want my son to follow in his footsteps. Please help me. He had convinced me that I didn't need to continue my education, because I would always be taken care of. We would be married,etc. Because of legal costs, he will have an advantage over me for the best representation. He threatens to take my son away every other month. My son is the breath I take every second. My son is the one that has given me strength to deal with man. But I can't anymore, I've tried really hard for the sake of my son. I can't no more he is now verbally abuse to me. pleaz

Re: Child Custody
Hello. From your posting I realize that you have been through a lot with this individual. First of all, it is important that he be declared the biolgical father of your son by a court. If this has been done, you should immediately seek an order of protection against him. You should not have to put up with that abuse.
This will help you get peace of mind.
And of course he should be paying child support. Will be happy to discuss this with you further and in more detail. There are other procedural issues to begin this process.
