Q: Hi my question is: How do I go about having custody of my son 50/50?
My sons mother has full custody and I want to know how to get him 50/50. We already went to court and all she requested was money. She doesn't want him to have my last name and she said I have never given her money since he was born. She was 14 and I was 16 when we had him. We lived with my parents for a while until she decided to move back with her parents. I also want to know what I can do about my child support payment because I am getting married and I have another son with my soon to be wife. I got a letter in the mail stating my first son doesn't have medicare or any type of insurance. I asked his mom and she didn't say anything. I also have way more questions regarding the well being of my son because his mom works two jobs and I would like to know who he stays with, etc. When I request to see him she doesn't reply. And the only time she tells me anything is when I tell her the money has been dropped off at the child support office.
A: You would have to file a motion with the Court asking the Court to award you time with your child. The Court will take into account everything that is relevant.
