Just some background: I have a pre-motion hearing in two weeks, I am seeking sole custody of my 5 year old.
My ex tried to commit suicide approx 7 months ago, it was not until after that I found out that he had tried several years ago as well. He hid his previous mental health issues. He also has a chronic illness, history of depression.
Since my son has been born, my ex was involved but not involved. Even when together for example, never put my son to bed, bathed, got him dressed, etc. I have not allowed overnight visits since we separated. He has also either been unemployed or worked out of province for part of every year since my son was born. I work full time, same employer for 20 years, no mental health issues, etc.
Just wondering how others fared in getting sole custody? I have no issue with visitation but have concerns on overnight visits, behavioral issues following visits. I also have concerns about how controlling my ex is, his explosive temper, mental health. I know every time I want to travel with my son for example, he will try to stop it out of spite. How did others deal with this? I requested a psychological assessment but he only went to see a psychologist once, admits mental health issues but says hes better.
Also, I make approx $50K per year, he makes about $25-$30K per year, hides income. What is a fair split for s7 expenses? Has anyone been successful in proving the other parent is hiding income to pay less?
