Re: I want sole custody of my child

All of your issues need to be sorted out by the Court in a properly filed Motion. You need to go to the Superior Court in the county in which you live and file a Motion for custody and child support. If you cannot do this on your own, you can hire an attorney to assist you.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other facts that would change my opinion. And, no one can rely on the opinion of an attorney who has not been retained. Before you do anything, you should consult with a Family Law attorney. Good luck! Rob Gleaner

Re: I want sole custody of my child

I understand your question to be about having the child live with you and being able to limit visitation to your house until the child is older and than gradually allowing daytime visitation and then, later on allowing overnight visitation upon the condition that the child is in a good environment. You can have this.
