My question involves a child custody case from the State of: California
I met a guy, we "fell in love", got pregnant, then realized we weren't compatible. We split up after a month or two and weren't able to communicate until the birth of our son. He was controlling, insecure and possessive. When our son was born I didn't put the father on the birth certificate or give him his last name. The day after our son was born I called and let him know. He came to the hospital to visit. He brought up custody and filing to establish paternity. After discussing it and telling him my feelings on it, he agreed not to. The day after we left the hospital he came over to discuss visiting and we set up a visiting schedule. A little over a week later he showed up to his visit with his dad. I didn't think anything of it. I just assumed he was bringing his dad to meet our son. His dad served me papers. (We'll call my sons father Shane) This was very upsetting to me because we'd discussed it and Shane assured me he wouldn't get the courts involved. I asked him to leave my house. Shane tried explaining what the papers meant and told me don't be upset they weren't anything bad and he wasn't trying to take our son from me. I asked him to leave again and told him I'd have someone review the papers with me and then I'd contact him. I went to the courthouse and had someone explain what the papers said. Shane is filing to establish paternity (which I agreed to) and he is also filing for joint legal and joint physical. He noted visiting would be worked out between the two of us. In my response, like previously mention, I agreed to the paternity of our child. I also filed for joint legal and sole physical and stated we'd work out visiting in mediation. What are the chances that I'll be granted sole physical. Our son is only 3 weeks old and I am breastfeeding. I feel it is very unhealthy for a child this young to be bounced around. Not to mention I'm breastfeeding. I'm looking for suggestions on how to word this and get my point across and have it be heard. I have no intention of keeping our son from Shane. Once he's older, maybe a year, I'd be happy to allow him to go overnight with his father. But I strongly feel that he is way too young at this point. What is your opinion? If we don't come to an agreement in mediation what are the chances I'll be granted sole custody? Thanks for reading! I'm looking forward to your input! :)
