    Reassurance on custody battle.
    I am getting a divorce from my husband who I am hopefully going to have an O F P on because he threatned to kill me.. (we will find out tomorrow):confused: My husband has been diagnosed with severe PTSD and anger problems.. he served me with divorce papers before I could serve him.. we have been to court and the judge is going to rule tomorrow on the O F P. He wants full physical custody of our 4 month old that I am the primary care giver for. I am so scared that because he has so much money he will do anything.. I am very scared that I will loose her because he doesn't know how to take care of her he has never bought diapers or wipes or even put her to bed. I have done that every night of her life... I need some reassurance on what to expect... thanks so much for you time:(

    With issues of anger problems a good Judge will at most give him supervised visits and possibly tell him to get counseling.
    You need to tell the Judge all your concerns like his not being able to change a diaper and as a result you have been the SOLE person to take care of the baby. You need to make sure you are able to prove that you have everything under control for taking care of the baby. Like if you are the one that left the house you need to prove you have a suitable home with everything for the baby.

    There had to be a good, solid reason, given by the father as to why the child would be better off in his sole custody. It is rather hard to take custody away from a mother.

    Make sure to voice all your concerns... but I would venture to say you have little to worry about as far as custody is concerned.
