Re: i dont know what to do or what to expect i guess im scared

You have many questions that need to be answered by a in person meeting with an attorney. But I will try and answer your concerns as best I can in this format. 1) Who gets custody of a child is up to the court. The court will look at all of the facts and decide. There is no way to determine how a court will decide without knowing all the facts and circumstances. 2) You can seek a legal separation that will determine who lives where. 3) Your husband's actions would be considered in regards to the custody issue, but it probably not affect the divorce itself. It would not be adultery.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

I doubt he would be given custody based on what you have stated. However, you should consult with a local attorney since this is a complex issue.
