CAN MY DIVORCE PROCEED WITHOUT AN AGREED CUSTODY ARRANGEMENT?

QUESTION Can my divorce continue without the custody agreement being agreed upon? My husband has filed for divorce but wants joint custody of our daughter. I want sole custody. He is a drug addict and is currently on probation for violation relating to drugs. I don’t care about the divorce but I care about my child’s safety.

MY RESPONSE:
The divorce can continue without agreement as to child custody.

What you should do regarding child custody is to file an Order to Show Cause for temporary sole physical and legal custody, pending trial, and at trial seek the sole physical and legal custody of your daughter.

You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you in your divorce and child custody proceedings.
