    Sole custody
    I have a child who is three years old. The father of the child does not come around nor does the father call to see how the child is doing. I was wondering since the father is choosing not to be apart of the child's life. If I could file for sole physical and legal custody of the child that we share together or even file for abandonment if the father does not contact for a period? The father was never really involved in the child's life, however the court has granted him with shared legal custody. I just need some other points of views other and some helpful advise.

    You can file for sole custody and he can contest it. Since he is not involved with the child you can use that to your advantage but it is still up to the Judge.
