I’m in a tough spot with my ex and our 4-year-old daughter. A lot has changed recently, and I’m thinking about legal steps to ensure my daughter’s well-being and stability. My ex walked away from her responsibilities at the end of September, and since then, she’s had minimal contact with our daughter. I’ve had to switch schools for her and manage everything on my own. I’m really worried about how this is affecting my daughter emotionally. Should I go to court to formalize full custody?
Honestly, it sounds like you need to protect your daughter. If her mom is being inconsistent, court might be a good route to ensure stability.
I’d say definitely go to court. It sounds like your ex isn’t really engaged, and that could really impact your daughter’s emotional health.
You might want to consider getting your daughter into therapy too. It could help her process everything going on.
I agree with going to court. It sounds like your ex has cut ties and may not be reliable. Better to have legal protection.
It must be tough to navigate this… but it sounds like you’re doing the right thing by putting your daughter first. Good luck!
