writes:Dear friends,Please help me! I am unhappy in my marriage. My husband doesn't love me but he doesn't want to get a divorce. I don't wanna see him. I also stopped loving him. We have a baby. And this makes everything more difficult to get a divorce. My husband told me that he will do everything possible to take the baby if we get a divorce. And I think he can do since he is a lawyer. I don't know what to do and I don't want to live unhappy anymore. Somebody out there, please help me! I really need your suggestions.

reader, anonymous, writes (24 May 2009): Not being a lawyer, I don't know the specifics of custody law. But it's extremely rare for U.S. courts to award the father full custody. The only two people I know whose fathers ended up with full custody of them were born to mothers who were drug addicts and were extremely careless with their parenting (in one case, the child was molested by a third party while in his mother's custody.) Basically, I doubt you fit this profile.
Bottom line: if your husband is a lawyer, he will indeed know the law in this matter, and you can expect that he might get more visitation time than the average father, but I HIGHLY doubt he will be able to take your child from you unless you have committed some act of gross maternal negligence that you haven't shared here. Good luck!

He is threatening you so you will stay! See a lawyer...they will reassure you more than I can!
