Child Custody

[AmaliaH]

What is the name of your state? Arizona
My husband and I are on the verge of a possible divorce. He is threatening to fight for custody of our 7 year old son. I have been the sole provider for the last 5 years. He does not have a current income and hasn't for 5 years (our choice). My question is, do you think he even has a chance in gaining custody? I cannot afford a lawyer at alland quite frankly I don't see where he thinks he can afford one himself.

So does that mean he's been the primary caregiver?

I can tell you first hand...yes.

My ex was a "self employed" construction worker...I paid the bills for the 4 yers of out marriage. We had a little girl and filed for divorce when she was 2.

Because I was the bread winner and he was the "caregiver" (and other reasons) he was granted primary residential custody and I pay child support.

here I thought I was taking care of my family, and I got kicked in th ebutt for doing so. Luckiily I have about 40% of the time with her...

Good luck...

Well, this is the situation most fathers find themselves in.

And why oh why did you just casually breez over those 'other reasons'?

Might they have some bearing on the matter?
