Q: What legal actions can I take for sole custody of my child or joint ?
My childs father will not stick to the agreements we have and it is very difficult at times. I would like either full custody or a court ordered joint visitation. Not to mention he only wants to do “every other weekend”. His family does most of the work for him as far as picking my child up and dropping him off to me on Sunday. My child only really spends time with their dad one full day.... so about 2-3 days out of the month the other day.
A: Need more information. If you do not have a court order regarding custody and visitation than you should contact a local attorney to best determine your options. Court orders can be enforced better than informal agreements.
