Child custody in WA state
After a few years of being abusive and coming home from the war with severe PTSD my husband walked out on our two year old and me when I was 5 weeks pregnant. He said he didn't want to be a dad anymore and that he would rather party and drink. I have proof that he said that he wanted to throw our son off a mountain to end all of his problems and he did get into trouble with the military for being abusive towards me and was ordered to go to mandatory counseling every week. I guess my question is because he has a history of abuse, he walked out, and he threatened to hurt our son is it possible for me to get full custody and him get supervised visitation. Im worried for their safety if he is alone with them and he recently purchased a gun. Also threatened to kill me if I ever try to "screw him over" not really sure what that means, because Ive never done anything to hurt or screw him over. Ive always tried to get him involved in our sons lives. Just don't trust him alone with them.
Thank you |

You have not already filed for custody as soon as child is born.
But yes that may be enough, but you never know how court goes, he comes in, wearing a suit, says how sorrow he is, but it was the war, and he has gotten treatment and is better. The court may believe it. You may file for proof of his treatment. Court may order supervised visits, he may after a number of months or a year, ask for a change since he is doing so well. There is never a order that is forever. |
