Is There Any Way To Get More Than 50/50 Custody?
Location: California
Married for 10 years we have a 4 year old and a 3 month old.
Husband is emotionally withdrawn and verbally / emotionally abusive in front of the kids and I’d really like to leave. Is there any way I can get better than 50/50 custody? I manage like 90% of my kids everyday lives and the household. He doesn’t cook or clean or take care of anything for them beyond babysitting and playing. He does daycare drop offs and pick ups more often now since the newborn, otherwise it was 50-50.
Financially we’re both stable and earn equally. He has a few career gaps and I have the more stable career but nothing glaring. He has a prescription for some depression medication that he doesn’t regularly take or seem to be working.
It’s mainly the fact that I do all the household / family labor. Including social. He has no friends, and I’m the only one that interacts with all of my kids’ parent friends / activities etc. He doesn’t even feed himself properly so I worry about the kids nutrition. He doesn’t show up on time for school or any of the kids commitments.
Is there any way to get anything more than 50-50? And if you suggest I document things, please explain exactly what and how.
ETA:
If my husband is ok with less than 50-50 would that be a possibility?
Would it be different in a different state like Washington or Texas?
