Im going to court in two weeks to try to get full custody of my son. Knock on wood I should win. My ex has a lot of problems, but she has a good lawyer. What do you think he will ask me?

Probably the following:
1. Do you have a job and steady income.
2. Do you have an appropriate home for him?
3. What about women/relationships in your life? Will they interfere with your ability to care for the boy?
4. How will you arrange for care for him (daycare, etc.) when you work?
5. What makes you a better father than she is as a mother?
6. What is the name/location of your son’s doctor/teacher/school/boy scout troup, etc… basically see if you know all the details of your son’s life.
7. What special medical needs does your son have?
8. What kind of support will you have in the event you are incapacitated and can’t care for him (e.g. grandparents, etc.)
9. How liberal will you be in allowing your son to maintain a relationship with his mother?
Let’s not forget you’ll have to prove that your ex’s problems warrant your getting full custody. In every custody situation, in fact in every lawsuit, there are 3 sides. Your side, your opponent’s side and the actual truth. Not to say you’re not entitled to custody of your son, but unless your ex has problems that you can prove will be harmful to your son if he remains in her custody, you’re not likely to be successful.
Sorry to be the bearer of doom & gloom, but that’s the way it is.
