It’s possible, but it’s going to cost way more money than ou realize.
Best advice, get a great lawyer,be consistent in how you interact with your ex, and spend as much time as you can with your child.

It is absolutely possible. I got custody of my two sons and I was not so perfect in the eyes of the law. The hardest part was I had moved to Georgia and my ex and children lived in Alabama. The courts did not want the children to cross state line. My boys are now grown. One in the Navy and one in the Army. My ex died of an overdose.

And what you have paid your ex-bitch up to this point, in my experience, hardly matters. As other posters have noted, it's all about the time you've spent with your kid leading up to your filing -- specifically, OVERNIGHTS with your kid. You could spend 5 days a week with your kid, but the court is looking at how often he/she spends the night at your house. I thought I was being a good guy by paying my ex freely and out of pocket, but the court doesn't care about that, and all your ex-bitch sees is dollar signs going forward -- all you've done for her and the kid financially up until the point of litigation means nothing to these bitches. They will lie like breathing and stab you in the back a million times over to get your magical monthly support check to prop up their personal lifestyles.

How hard of a battle is it gonna be to get 50/50 custody of my little girl ?
Get that out of your mind. Not going to happen. What you're going to get is "joint" custody which, on paper, looks like 50/50 - but in reality the mother will be the domiciliary parent and you will be the "child support paying parent" (99% of the time the father). Good news? You don't have to do a community property partition or have any alimony exposure.
The bad news? You have a 16 to 20 year child support bill ahead of you. You will get every other weekend and time in the Summer once school starts. Worse news? Based on what you've told us about what has happened to this point, she's going to refight all of those arguments with you, try to bait you, etc., and drag you into court for every little violation of the joint custody agreement.
Again, based on what you've said, that's just who she is. And you'll be paying the bills. Good luck.

Glad you're used to it. Good luck bro but the deck is stacked against you. Know your daughter's poop habits, watch she likes to eat, anything about the day to day routine stuff. Everyone says I want to take care of their kid, show the court you already are and know how.

There’s a lot of bad advice on here. Here’s good advice:
1. Hire a good attorney- not always the cheapest.
2. Hire a good attorney that practices in your neck of the woods. He/she will be familiar with the Judges, Hearing Officers, etc.
3. Take their advice and do not have unrealistic expectations. 16 month olds are hard to get 50/50 usually BUT if you are clean, sober, not a sexual deviant or drug dealer you should eventually land this where you want.
4. If you do hire a good attorney make sure you two understand each other and have a plan. Do not nitpick your attorney- if they are good they know what to do and don’t need your inexperienced commentary on a daily basis. Your responsibility is to get your lawyer the evidence, do what they say, shut the frick up with the baby mama, and most importantly pay the lawyer and don’t bitch about it.
5. Most likely you’ll be fine.

Why is she so angry with you? Be honest. She is probably just crazy, I know, but why wouldn't a woman want their child to be fathered by a man who WANTS to be involved?

1) Money; 2) Control; 3) Crazy

1) keep doing what you’re doing, over time mother will settle down. 2) avoid court. -you won’t like the outcome. 3). Be the best dad you can be. 4) get over the last name thing. 5) try to develop a relationship with her family. You’re in this for the next 18 or so years. Best of luck.
