Custody battles ina divorce and paternity cases are very common today. More and more men are winning these battles, now that both parents are out in the working world and children are attending daycare. Please keep in mind the court will decide what is in the child's best interest not the mother or father's. If you want to get what you want solve it among yourselves. Contesting a custody battles doesn't mean you always get what you want.
Step2
Custody issues are based on fact. You must be and have proff that you are involved with your child. You must go to school meetings or open houses. Make sure the teachers know you. I fthe court investigates your case they will call the school.
You must take your child to the doctors and do what follow-up treatment is needed. Once again the court will check up on this. If you don't do this I would suggest you start. These are easy facts that can be supported. The same goes with any type of counseling or sport. Make sure your own mental and physical health is up tp date.
Step3
Make sure your home, roommates, friends, new partner are all aprropriate. Anyone around your child will be investigated. No alochol or drug use in case the court tests you. Also you should have a job so you can provide for the child. Also you need to show that you will be the child's care taker, not another family member.
Prepare yourself and make yourself look good before you choose your battle...

It is best to work this out between you, custody cases are expensive and can always be re opened by either party. The courts and agents get paid has long has your case keeps going. If there really is no threat of harm, do whats best for your child, dont take them away cause you are ticked off at the other parent. Because your child still loves and needs them.

on 4/2/2008 Good advice, someone should have told her before I got custody, in Arizona it is twice as hard for men.
