My wife kicked me out house and she is seeing a solicitor in 1 week and half. By then I will not have seen daughter for 2 weeks. Daughter is almost 2.
We lived together I saw my daughter everyday. Daughter slept in bed with me I got her up gave her breakfast. I’d sleep beside her lunchtime as well for her nap wake give her lunch and mind her afternoon. I work part time few hours a day so this worked. Wife works full time needed a proper sleep in spare bedroom.
She is claiming I am a danger to child. I gave daughter raw milk. I have explained why in this thread https://dadswithkids.co.uk/threads/help-please-tricky-one.1818/
My solicitor has got the ball rolling by sending a letter to open up child care negotiations and propose an amicable solution. It was a neutral letter that did not propose anything. And let her take the lead.
I am living with my mums. There are spare rooms I can even make one for daughter. I have the means to take care of daughter and family support as well.
I would like to apply for 50/50 child care and joint custody. I understand I may get investigated by child services and will need to convince I’m safe. So it will need to be gradual.
My question is. Should I just wait for now and see what she comes back with. Or propose a gradual 50/50 split over 3 months building up to it.
I will need to apologise and convince her I will not give daughter raw milk again which I won’t.
Question 2. If negotiations fail I will need to apply for a court custody correct? Do I explain the situation to judge?
Overall my understanding is I need to demonstrate that what I want is in the best interest of my child’s interests.
I’m trying to read and read to prepare as much I can. Apologies this is all new to me.
