I'm currently filing for physical/legal custody so if anything should ever happen to me, my child wouldn't be sent into the system. I'm also preparing a Living Will to state who I am choosing my son to go to if I should pass.

Your son is not an item to be passed on in a will. If the child has a legal father and you were to pass they would be next in line.

Hello k:

Yes, you'll have joint custody.. Your husband's in the joint, isn't he?

The parents of the child do not have to be married, for them to have joint custody, and getting married after birth does not automatically give any custody. Only a child custody order can give custody.

Yes they. The legal parent at the time of the custodial parent's passing. It's the correct use of the word.

The Wiki article to which you link says this

"The "singular" they is the use of this pronoun, where they is used as a gender-neutral singular rather than plural pronoun. The correctness of this usage is disputed" (emphisis added).

So why would you use a gender-neutral pronoun to stand for "father"? Is there any doubt as to the gender of a father? Or are you trying to be confusing?
