    Default Re: Best Interest of the Child

    Basically, my husband seeks to at least decrease his support amount since he is out of work and spends almost half the year with his son. I can see this happening.
    This is a possibility.

    If there is a case here, he’d like to seek custody.
    Unless the child is being abused or neglected or there is some other significant change in the child's circumstance, no. Your husband is correct - the best he can hope for is 50/50.

    The problem is Dad is no longer on an even footing. Had they been just divorcing, he may have had a much better stab at primary custody. But, he's not - Mom has been the custodial parent and in order for that to change - and as we've said (and btw, I'm also a stepparent...) that requires a change in circumstance.

    I see no such change.
