Greetings. While I am willing to answer questions of your s on legal issues, I am not willing to walk you through a custody lawsuit on this forum. A custody trial is a difficult thing. You need to save up for an attorney.
Let’s see what I can answer for you though from your questions:
You will need to file a complaint for child custody.
No. She is allowed to try to get “as much” child support from you as she can.
Sure. If you are not seeing your son on a regular basis, you need to have a custody order from the court. The custody schedule is also the visitation schedule. Best of luck.

Janet,
THANK YOU so much for your information and I know you can’t walk me through the custody lawsuit but is there any way that I can file a complaint for custody while saving for a attorney?
I have been saving for an attorney but I really miss my son and haven’t been able to see him in over a month.
Again, THANK YOU so much for ANY assistance you can provide.
Greetings. Yes, you can file a complaint for custody and save for an attorney at the same time. Remember that once you start the ball of litigation rolling, it often does not stop for a considerable amount of time! I would also want to see my child(ren) if I was being denied time to visit. Best of luck.

I am been paying court ordered child support for my son which is now 1 1/2 yrs old. To make a long story short… she is basically using every trick in the book to get more money out of me and I don’t know if there is anything that I can do about it. I want to file for custody of my son as she does not let me see him on a regular basis but I am not sure how to start the process. I can’t afford to pay for a attorney and I am looking for all of the advice I can get[V].
What do I need to do in order to start the custody process?
Is there anything that I can do if I can prove her actions for getting more money?
If I can’t get custody of my son, should I try for joint custody or visitation?
Thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter…
