My ex and I have been separated since my son was tiny, 4-5 months or so. We have always had a verbal agreement on visitations. He would come to the house when he was little and now takes him every other weekend (he is now 5) and we share vacations. Since my fiancé and I have announced our engagement it has become increasingly harder to deal with the ex. Recently he has been threatening to take my son.
Right now my son has his own room, a cat, attends school rt down the road, and is perfectly happy, well taken care of and comfortable in our house. I think it would be extreemly upsetting to him to uproot him from his home.
My ex has had valley fever and spinal menongitis which almost killed him 3 times and recently started walking without a cane. He does not work, drive or cook. He relies on family to help care for our son on visitation weekends.
My son gets SSDI from his fathers disability so I do not need child support, but should I obtain legal custody of my child? I am afraid he will really try and take him or that if I do, the outcome might change our routine we have had thus far, both of which I could not live with. Please help!! Thanks!!
