Okay, wow...where do I begin...
Alright. I am a father who seeks full custody. This is the story:
I was with my daughter's mother for about 6 yrs. During the early stages I was on drugs. I got clean before our daughter was born. So fast forward to the part where she has our daughter. During her pregnancy we were on and off due to us being young (me getting off drugs) and being dumb. So during the early stages of my daughter's life I was really not ready to be a dad. I loved my daughter but wasn't ready for everything that came with it. I know this sounds bad but I am being honest with you guys. So fast forward again to now. My ex and I went back and forth for a bit the about two years ago we split for good. I have a new girlfriend and she lives with me in the same house my daughter grew up in. So my ex goes through a couple BF's and doesn't stay with any of them. One reason I want custody...but theres more. She moved out to Simi Valley to stay with her step mom... Not her mom either and her father isn't with the step mom any more. So basically this is my case. My daughter is 5 now. The step moms new husband smokes pot (so does my exes bro that lives there) but he has a Med. Marijuana card. BS. The step mom is a psychotic bitch who gets drunk and causes scenes whenever she gets the chance. I have a good job, a house, an awesome GF who loves my daughter as her own. I also have another daughter (with another mom...I know I've set myself up for a crazy situation...) who is 8 and I see here regularly. I need to know what my chances of getting full custody. The mom is not a bad person. I know she loves our daughter very much but I do not trust her with raising our daughter out there with those people. I will do anything to get this kid. Do I have a chance? What do I need to do to get custody? I am sorry for the ramble but I HAVE to know what to do. Any suggestions would help. Thanks guys.
