okay I have 2yr old daughter that I have raised pretty much alone. I did live with my ex untell april but we were no longer dating and had not been together for along time. I ask for custody he said he does not want custody or joint he only wants vistiation but the only way he'll agree is if he gets her every other weekend. this is a guy who drank himself into a stuper every night and passed out in his own pee and would sleep on a couch he had peed on many many times would gety dressed in clothing that was covered in dried up pee. hes been going top AA for 5months and has been sober that long. hes lied in the past about being sober and hes put our daughter in danger a few times. i've never had to call the cops and hes never been in trouble with them he has driven drunk but no dui. he only went sober because his boss told him to not because of his daughter. i live in wa state I wonder what my chases are of him just getting visitaition only I don't trust him alone with her and I sure don't trust her spending the night with him.

I live in NC and went through a similar situation. My son's father had multiple DUI's, was into drugs, and he threatened me constantly. He spent time in jail as well. When custody became an issue, he was only able to see our son with supervised visitation and not able to take him anywhere in a car alone. I would be sure to ask about the supervision and tell your attorney, the court, whomever all you've listed on your post. He's in no shape to take care of a toddler on his own! My son's grandparent's were the supervisor when his father had him and my son's father hardly showed up per the custody order! I wish you luck, be strong, and hang in there!!!
