[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

This is 12/05/2016 12:44 PP again.

I am so glad you are taking time to relax.

It just occurred to me that unless you conpletely trust your ex to think of your welfare (I don't get the feeling this is so reading from the posts), it would be best to have a babysitter and/or encourage your child to be semi-independent in your living area while you recover.

Even though you were sick when you changed the pick-up time, when custody issue is involved, many behaviors can be used in the family court for custody hearing.  For example, you may want the court to modify child support for an increase, or he may want to modify for a decrease.  Your ex may argue he would like more physical custody such as more custody days even if the ulterior motive was to lower child support to you (eg alleging how you don't have sufficient support to care for the child, physically not sufficiently fit, and have had him take over .........  Similarly, you may argue about him calling you last minute about having to work late and cannot pick up the child, etc but he May say he has a (steady) motherly figure "girlfriend" who can readily step in to do the pick-up, provide meals and put your kid to bed ).  Even if his argument would work very well in court, it is just an extra thing he can mention in court.  The less he has to say, about what he is bothered by you, in court the better.  The court looks at what is in the best interests of the child such as stability of a home environment; even though your home may be more stable for your child than his but it may not Be evident on papers when your ex can document otherwise.  I have seen a father with a girlfriend/wife who has full custody of his kids with the ex wife having visitation and weekend custody. I have also seen a successful working mother whose ex won full physical and legal custody - perhaps there are exigent circumstances.  But the bottom line is, nowadays, the court does not favor a mother over a dad - it is all about the child's best interest and a stable home for the child.

It is hard on family life with a new job.  Please hang in there.  I wish you and your daughter a very Christmas!
