Re: exhusband is trying to take custody
At the age of 13, your child's choice will have a lot to do with the judge's decision. The father would have to show that the change would be in the best interest of the child. If the child says no, that would be a good indication of what's best for the child unless there is something bad wrong with your situation, i.e. substance abuse, bad habits, etc.
If bad things are not happening, then I don't know how the father could succeed. You will need a lawyer to help you if he makes the effort, however.
