    I don't know much about this issue, when my parents got divorced I was 16, and it was a given I was staying with a certain parent.

    I would probably document every occasion you could think of; i.e. not coming home, missing birthdays, proof of drinking, any DUIs? that would be a start anyway.

    Do you feel your child would be unsafe in the other's care?

    I would begin by requesting assistance from a Child Services agency. I believe all states have them.

    When you take that step, the State will assign an attorney to prosecute your case and seek child support for you. They will also determine whether supervised visitation is warranted and place that before the judge who hears the case. Once the case has been heard and the judge writes the order, the case is over. If he violates the order, he can be charged with contempt of court.

    Good luck!

    If you feel that your spouse is a real danger to you and children, contact the Police or Family Services to see if they can get you into a shelter for battered spouses.

    I would begin by retaining a Family Law attorney, who can advise you as to what proofs and documentation you need.
