My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Florida, Hello. I am looking for help or advice. I have a son from my previous marriage, his mom died when he was 15 months old. While she was 8 weeks pregnant she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, she made a choice to have my son and postpone Radiation and Chemo. After she passed it was just my son and I. When he was 3 I remarried and had another child with my current wife. My daughter is 4 today, my son is 8. My wife entered into an emotional affair with another man, and now wants a divorce. Today I was served with the divorce papers and in there she is asking for 50% custody/time sharing over my Son. She never adopted him. I don't have a lawyer, but her lawyers are saying in my sons best interest since she is the only mother he knows it would be in his interest to stay with my wife and keep the children together. I do not want this divorce and was willing to do anything to fix it. What rights does my wife have to gain 50% time sharing over my son?? I am not looking to keep him from her, I told her she can see him but I would not put his name on any legal documents. If it is the best interest to keep the children together then since I have biological rights over both and she only has biological rights over my daughter then I can have them stay with me and let her have visitation rights. I can not find the words to explain how hurt I am and can not imagine my son, who was a blessing, who a his mother made a selfless decision to give him life that ultimately took hers and to not have in my house so I can watch over and protect him. My current wife wants to be with this other man and I can think of another man being able to influence my son.
What rights does she have or do I have to fight for my son. I love my son and daughter equally but the bond that my son and I have can not be explained unless you have been in this situation.
I am sorry if this topic has been talked about, just not good at searching the forum.
