Q: If I can't find my baby's dad because he left addicted to meth can I get sole custody of our child? What will I go throu
When he did come back for a couple months in a year's time he would leave the baby in a stroller or playpen all day while I was at work. I snooped in his phone and read messages on messenger that he was dealing both heroin and meth and that's why I left . I have no idea how to get a hold of him and I don't know where he's living. . What are the chances I can get sole custody? I'm scared to do that because right now he has nothing to do with us so I feel good about that but he is very good at convincing people he is the good one and I am the bad one. He has isolated me to where I have no one. He was good enough to have his mother start emotionally abusing me, knowing he was physically abusing me and using drugs and in the meantime she has moved and I don't know where. I don't want him or his mother to have anything to do with my son.
A: You can request a custody order by filing a Petition for allocation of parental responsibilities. the court will have to decide matters in the best interest of your child. you should retain an attorney to help protect you and your child n this process.
