thinking of just stay at home, earn from my lap top is totally the best thing to do so i cantake care of my daughter by my own.. And that is what im doing for the past 2 years, But having to fight for my child custody, i applied for 9-6 job so i have solid chance to win the case. My ex husband only give like $100 per month for me to use as school fees, and most of the time he will be busy so he dont really have time pick up my daughter and spend time with her. So i have to provide evrythingelse for her.. I really dont understand why he insist i hand over child custody to him if i want him to be more responsible on his own daughter.. But he prove me he is useless even he doesnt have child custody.. And im so tired he kept threatening me saying tht he will win child custody because he have bigger salary and more stable compare to me. Am i just freaking out or what?

I think the judge / jury not only consider the amount of income. Skills as well as sufficient time for parenting, may be a consideration as well. Don't panic ... chill out! Tell the court about the facts during the last 2 years. I think that's enough.

I completely agree with you. She should tell the judge everything that she knows, how her husband has been acting, and keep records of how many times he actually keeps his child.

Even though he threatens you with child custody he really doesn't want custody of her if he already is having a hard time being with his daughter. Apply for the 9-6 job and take him to court and have him pay child support. If he has a good job he should be paying more than $100 a month. Tell him your plans and he should back off. If you have stable income and keep records of all the times that he is suppose to take care and doesn't and when he does. All those things will help your case.

Well, depend on that law that decide on your daughter. The law here in our country the father have no right to get the child to the mother if the child still under 7 years old. If the child is more than 7 years old. He can file a petition to the court for custody if he has the story of abusive behavior. He is no right to take custody of the child...

its about the same with syariah law.. my daughter is 6. i also might have slimmer chance if im married to other guy. That why i think i shud get the custody 1st, then only i can consider about getting married again.. Owhh.. but my daughter always ask for siblings.. sometimes i really pity her coz she just alone.

You are just acting natural my dear. Anyone will feel like that but don't worry, a mother is a mother and as long as your daughter is a minor she should stay with you. Your husband should have the responsibility to support your daughter no matter what. He should not reason out that your daughter does not stay with him that is why he is giving less. Just pray and God will lead the way. Always remember that this too shall pass.

Sounds like your ex husband is only wanting your daughter to spite you. I think you are right in doing what you think could get custody of your daughter. Do this trouble first so that you can benefit later, your daughter is worth it all. Dont get upset over your ex husbands dirty tricks. Stay strong and DONT let him get you upset. Getting you upset is what he wants so do not be trapped. Tell everybody who will help you in this matter and prepare your arsenal for battle. Carry on with what you are doing to earn online and when you earn more than him, its time to gloat!

Thanks momo, i really appreciate your advise and support. Sometime he really did makes me so down.. even i have told myself so many times not to fall for that.. Relation sometime can get so weird. The funny part is we still talk like normal even we hate each other..

Yes talking like normal is the best thing to do. He will probably want to talk to you more to see if his threats are bringing you down. Be very cheerful and that will crush him. I have been hearing a lot of men and women doing injustice to their spouses lately. I really pity the 'victims'. The trick is to appear strong and fantastic eventhough you feel like falling apart. I think if you practice enough, you will be good in this trick. Maybe if he sees you cannot be crushed he will stop his nonsense in threatening you. Many people think that online earning is not sustainable. I think otherwise, especially your methods. Remember that Islam says "Fortune is in Gods hands". I think that if you manage to earn quite a lot through online, it will be ideal because you can stay home for your daughter. I read your responses to other people and I too want to earn my own money. Depending on other people make these people feel powerful which can hurt us. Take care cairalyssa. Its important that you take very good care of yourself to take care of your daughter.

I think you don't need to worry too much even though he makes more money but you can show the court that you The one who've been taking care of your kid and you also has own income to support yourself. You also could prove the court that he almost never make time for your kid then you should be good and court will do you a favor. Don't worry everything will be fine

It is possible to earn a large amount of money online, but it is a lot of hard work and I don't think that you would be able to spend enough time with your daughter if you were wanting to make the amount of money on the internet that you seem to think you would be able to. However, you would certainly be able to make small amounts each month which would add to the amount that your child's Father was giving to you to help to care for her. You should probably think about trying to get a small part time job somewhere though, as this would get you more money for your child in the long term.

Hi cairalyssa! I hope you would be able to get the custody over your daughter. Even though I don't know the story, I still want that the daughter would be staying with the mother. If I have to analyze the situation there is no better person that could take good care of your daughter but you. Considering the fact that you are working at home and have all the time to take good care of your daughter.

I felt so bad reading your sentiment to your husband. I believe the custody of your child should be given to you since you are the mother. Your husband being irresponsible should only be given a visiting chance not the total custody of your child even though he has greater salary than yours still he has still needs to consider that a child will always needs a mother I just hope you could win your battle. I'll surely include you in my prayer. God Bless.
