should I file for primary physical custody? My ex is having a baby with his girlfriend?
ByHe has been an involved father so far with our kids and has not moved in full time with his girlfriend due to his responsibilites to our kids. Now she is having his baby. We are in the middle of finalizing the divorce. Should i file for primary physical custody cause i feel things may change now and he may move in with his GF in another town but same state as us. Would this be fair to my kids ? they do love and respect him and dont know abt the baby . I am afraid this may have an impact on kids.

if he is a good father now, i don’t think you should make this decision on the ‘what ifs’ that might or might not happen in the future…..if things change for the worse, you could always go back to court….

If he is a good, responsible father then sit down with him and discuss the future of your custody arrangement. Find out what his plans are before starting a court proceeding.

As long as he continues to take care of his kids you shouldn’t stop him from seeing them.

Since he hasn’t changed how he is with your kids, then I would wait. He may actually be able to handle the two families appropriately. Give him a chance. You can always file later once you are more sure that it is the right thing to do.

I wouldn’t do anything like that.
Although I’m only fifteen, I know what it’s like to be in the middle of a custody battle.
Children need both parents.
Trust me.
The custody battle in my family ended up with me and my twin brother having no contact with our father at all which has damaged us.
The best thing you can do is be there for your kids and have a healthy relationship with their father.
It’d benefit the situation.

this will effect the kids but thats life should not fill for custody just cause you think he may change thats stupid than they really will be hurt worser because he wont be in there life.

As a citizen, you are free to petition the court at any time regarding matters of the law. Whether or not you have the foundation for a winnable or, for that matter, legal case is another issue altogether.
You would need to prove that his involvement in the lives of your children is harmful, dangerous and detrimental. Bottom line: you need to prove him unfit.
You see, you cannot hope to gain primary custody of the minor children that you and your ex have together based on the fact that he will be cohabitating with another woman, in another town to raise the child that they are having together.
In this day and age of children growing up without fathers, you would be hard pressed to find a judge to grant your request.
Perhaps your energy would be best spent focusing on being the best mother that you can be for your kids.
