My question involves a child custody case from the State of: CALIFORNIA
First off, I apologize if this is a very foolish question. I have been attempting to research this for days- with no luck.
My Ex and I divorced a few years back. He had done the filing because I wasn't able to financially and was unaware of the possible aid I could receive. He had petioned for Full Custody when filing- and I didn't contest because, again financially I thought I was unable to and expected a huge battle. Eventually we worked it out, and now it is as if there are no custody restrictions- well to a degree.
I've asked about changing to joint and he said only legal (I want both)-- but I keep getting the run around from him and I don't think he will actually follow through. How do I go about the process of petioning for joint legal as well as physical custody? In both scenarios- if he's willing and not willing. What would be the general cost/time line of both? And what is the likelyhood that I would even get custody (I was told I wouldn't because it's been a few years)?
I would greatly appreciate any and all information offered. Again, I have no clue what I am doing- and have not received any clear answers. I'm looking to get the process started as soon as possible...
Thanks in Advance!!
