Father is requesting shared legal and primary physical custody of the Child.
Father is requesting custody of the Child to be shared over all holidays, and on
the birthday of the Child.
Prior to this Complaint, Father and Mother shared custody of the child, as the
parties live in the same residence. Mother intends to relocate in the immediate
future due to the dissolution of the relationship between Father and Mother.
Mother's work schedule is variegated and unpredictable, from as early as 10 am
to as late as 2 am or later, and Mother routinely changes or works additional
hours. As such, Mother is preventing the child from having a set schedule for
bathing, feeding, and sleeping. Father believes that a constant routine is a
necessity for the child's emotional health and upbringing.
Father's work schedule permits for a more constant schedule.
Mother has also recently begun to engage in deceptive behaviors, behaviors
lacking moral fiber, and behaviors that prevent her from being a caring and
attentive parent to the Child. Specifically, Mother is consuming alcohol to the
point of severe intoxication as often as five nights per week, staying out all night,
and engaging in acts of moral turpitude in the home.
Mother routinely places the Child in the caretaking custody of a young female
who smokes in the Child's presence, and who keeps three Rottweilers in the
home where the Child is watched. Father is fearful of the Child's safety in this
home; however, Mother refuses to consider or discuss any alternative.
3 of 5
20. Mother currently refuses to provide any information regarding the whereabouts of
the Child when the Child is not in Mother's custody, and Father is at work.
Mother has routinely failed to provide Father with information concerning the
Child's daycare, supervision, and welfare.
21. The best interest and permanent welfare of the Child will be served by granting
the relief requested because:
a) The mental and emotional well being of the Child will be served if Father is
the Child's primary custodian. Father has the ability, through his work, to
provide the Child with a constant schedule that will provide the Child with
the constancy and stability he needs as he grows;
b) Mother's schedule is variegated and unpredictable, and prevents her from
being able to give the Child a routine;
c) Mother refuses to discuss or divulge information regarding the caretaker
for the Child when Father is at work, and has repeatedly placed the Child
in a home for caretaking that is unsafe and unhealthy;
d) Mother has begun evidencing reckless and morally questionable behavior
that would endanger the Child if Father were not present, including but not
limited to drinking to all hours of the night, most nights of the week, and
returning home in a severe state of intoxication, if at all;
e) Father is able to provide a stable and safe home and emotional
environment for the Child;
4 of 5
f) Father has the facilities to provide for the care, comfort and control of the
Child, as well as the intention and desire to do so.
22. Each parent whose parental rights to the Child have not been terminated and the
persons who have physical custody of the Child have been named as parties to
this action.
WHEREFORE, Father requests that this Honorable Court grant the following
relief: Award Father primary physical and shared legal custody of the child;
Respectfully Submitted,
KOPE
