Me and my ex boyfriend broke up after the year we have been together our son is now one years old. We tried to make it work but we were not getting along he smoked pot etc he stopped supposedly but recently got pulled over and the state trooper said he was getting a DUI it's now goof to court not sure if he went yet or not prior to this he's lost his license maybe twice. He's good with his son from what I know. But he wants joint custody and I want full. Mainly because he can barley take care of him self and I worry for what happens how that I don't see.. Also he is now living with his mom which the house is like a pig pen and they have a pitbull so usually when I pick my son up he's fithy.. I'm not trying to bash them and let him not see his son I just don't want him sleeping at his dads and I think I'm more reasonable at making decisions. On top of all of that in maybe march he was driving his car that had no gas over a bridge and caused a 3 car pile up and his car was totaled god for bid my son was with him. He makes careless mistakes and I'm not so sure this is the person I can trust leaving my son with.. We went to a meeting with a case worker yesterday and didn't agree on anything so now we har court at the end of this month as we were getting a court date his mom proceeded to yell at me and call me names. My ex has two jobs and his mother will be watching our son while he's at work the lady that's screaming at me causing a scene in front of the court house ! If anyone has had a similar problem let me know. I am getting an attorney I'm just worried he'll get joint and I want full custody of my son I think it's in the child's best interest..?? Thanks again

Raawwrr answered Friday October 12 2012, 8:22 am: My opinion is that maybe try and give him a trial and see if he might change for the benifit of the child and discuss it with your case worker, he doesnt sound like a very nice father but Im not the judgemental type, id also try and see a councellor or consultant to help you to help you along the way, i hope all works out for the beat for your child and yourself, dont cut hom off fully, your son needs some kind of father figure. I didnt have my father for the majority of my life and only got to see him during christmas and I hated it, I wish that I could get those years back because I now hardly know my father due to it.
