My question involves a child custody case from the State of: COLORADO
I want to separate from my husband and probably divorce him. I am not from the US, so I have some worries. Our child is 18 months old and is born in the state of Colorado. I do not plan on leaving the States. My husband is not abusive or anything like that. The marriage turned out an unhappy one, with neither one of us living to our full potential.
My husband works 2 jobs, 1 fulltime and the other in the weekends and evenings. As a stay at home mother, I am our child's primary care giver. I still nurse and even sleep with our child because our child is suffering terrors at night. I cook, wash and take care of all the family's needs. My husband loves our child very much and very deeply, he just doesn't spend much time with our child, maybe about 3 full hours a week, tops, and some weeks much less.
I do not plan on leaving the States, if I can create a situation that is manageable. I want to get a job and hope for some support (either voluntarily or by law) from my, then ex, husband to reasonably sustain myself and my child. I don't need much, I don't want to make any claims. If I see no other option than to go back to my home country, I will get social support and a lot of help, being a single mother. This would imply our child to stay with me. I could find a job there, and create a new life.
My main question is: will our child stay with me? I would love our child's father to spend as much time as possible with it, there is no anger nor resentment. But I truly wish to remain our child's primary care giver, not only for emotional reasons, but also because I know what to do in any possible situation, what foods to cook, what vitamins to give, what doctor to go to, how to help it sleep, what activities to plan for our child to thrive. Because me and my child are so tuned-in and so used to spending our days together, the shock of the divorce will not hit it as much, if I can create as much peace around our child as possible.
