requested for reasons including, but not limited to the following:

of partial custody with the child.

parent the child and will encourage both the father/son and the mother/son
relationships.
c) Mother has not acted in the best interest of the child in ways including but not
limited to the following:
i) Mother prevents healthy development of a bond between Father
and the child by refusing them to have regular contact with each
other.
ii) Father fears that without a custody order in place, Mother will
continue to deprive him of regular contact with the child, which
will further deteriorate their relationship.
iii) Mother has arbitrarily decided that Father may not see the child
despite a lack of evidence that such action is necessary or
warranted for the safety or well-being of the child.
10. Every person with rights to custody or having actual physical custody of the child
has been named as a party to this action.
WHEREFORE, Father requests this Court to:
a) Grant the parties shared legal custody of the child.
b) Grant Mother primary custody of the child.
c) Grant Father periods of partial physical custody and visitation.
d) Any additional relief the court finds just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,
