If not, you should discuss that issue, too.
You should speak to a lawyer.
A child isn't property.
There are many more things to consider and protect (than just custody).
the reason why I want custody is half the time I cant get a hold of him second hes a acholoic even though he is an adult he still has alot of growing up to do. I wants whats best for her.
If you can't afford an attorney, the state will help you.
This is the link to the state agency (in Washington) that will help you with custody and child support issues.
Thank you very much for the info I will look into the web site.
