My question involves a child custody case from the State of: VA
My child's father and I were never married. Our child was born December 28, 2010. We lived with her father until August 2, 2011 and we also spent 2 weeks in July seperated. We couldn't agree on a child support agreement so I filed for child support. He's now threatening to file for 50/50 custody to lessen what he'd owe for child support. He says he filed to have custody discussed during the same court proceeding for support. However, I haven't received any summons or notice. Shouldn't I receive something? I've provided 100% of her care since she was born and she's exclusively breastfed. Does he have a chance in getting 50/50 custody? I want her father in her life but he shows little interest in caring for her. He's just worried about money.
Also, she's lived with both of us for half the year and then lived with me the other half but he's saying he's claiming her on his taxes. Can he do this?
