If your ex is violent, you should contact the police when there is a domestic incident. Additionally you should file for a restraining order if you are afraid for your safety. You need to file a motion for sole custody if you are seeking full custody. If he does not agree the custody battle will be lengthy and take time to resolve itself. A self help center can be of assistance for those unrepresented. It is typically in your local court house.

For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.

As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
