Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
divorce and custody
Me and my husband are seperated. I am 6 months pregnant. We were only married a month. I left because he felt that he could party every night and never tell me what he was doing. I have a little girl from a previous relationship. I am not working. My parents are helping me out. He says he is fighting me for custody. He's an alcoholic. Will they give him custody because I am not working right now. I am having a hard time finding a job cuz I can't work weekends or nights and obviously pregnant. Other than not working right now, I am a good mom. What do you think

Re: divorce and custody
The court will take into consideration who will be the better parent and work with the other to keep a parent/child relationship going. It will also look at whether the parent has a drinking problem, abusive, etc. Just because you do not have a job currently does not make you a bad parent. Unfortunately, the reality is that no business is likely to hire you while you are pregnant, especially as far along as you are.
What you will need to do is keep a log of everything that happens between you and your husband, what he says and does, etc. If it goes to trial then you will be more believable with this information than trying to just remember off the top of your head.
Good luck.
