Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Child Custody

I've been a single dad for over 4

years now. My son was allowed to be

with me because mom wanted to be

with another man. We put in writing

that I will be primary caretaker for

my son. Mom has not done much for

him in these last 4+ years and yet

she whacks him with a belt (I just

became aware of this a few weeks

ago) and should not be doing so since

she does not know her son and does

not understand him. Also she leaves

him with her man, who's an illegal

immigrant, needless to say he has no

license or anything, and she let's him

drive my son around or let's him take

my son to the movies and park by

themselves. I need to put an end to

this. I spoke to her and she told me

she does whatever she wants and if I

don't like it ''tough sh*t''. Please tell

me what I can do legally to protect

my son from irresponsible behavior.

Thank you so much...

Re: Child Custody

First you should get a custody order in place. Second, if there is evidence of any injury to the child call the child line. Third, if she let's any unlicensed driver drive your child report it to the police immediately. She may do what ever she wants however, when what she wants injures or risks the death of a child, that a crime and that why there are DAs and jails.
