I have a 6 year old son who hasn't seen his dad since he was 2. We were never married, and didn't live together since months before the baby was born. The boy has ALWAYS lived with me, and has had 2 alone visits with his dad in those first 2 years.
My question is... if I go for a formal custody agreement, what are the chances that I'm going to have to share custody with the dad. The dad is unstable, currently in recovery, but with a 17 year + history of drug abuse, and splits his time between his mom's couch and jail. He has no home of his own, no job, no stable supports, and tthe thought of having my son there scares me to death.
In the meantime, if I want to move to example, the states, then I'd need to have sole custody.
I don't know what to do and anyone with insight into this kind of issue would be GREATLY appreciated.
