My spouse wants custody of his beloved child – I could file for divorce if he seeks this

A woman considers divorce after her husband reveals his intention to gain custody of his beloved child.

She explained on Reddit that she has been married to her husband for nine years.

However, in 2001, she learned that a child support lawsuit had been filed against him.

“I have no interest in this child”

“It turned out that my husband had an affair shortly after we got married. Our marriage almost ended, but we went to counseling together and I agreed to stay in the marriage,” she explained.

However, she placed some conditions on her husband if she wanted to stay in a relationship with him.

First, he had to get a second job so that child support payments wouldn’t impact his household’s cash flow.

Secondly, she would never consider entering into a relationship with this child.

“If he wanted to do something together with them, that would be fine,” she added. “But I have absolutely no interest in this child.”

Although he understood her position, he had met “his child “once or twice a month for the last few years” in the company of a “social worker.”

But he recently admitted to his wife that there was a “baby-mama drama” going on and the child’s mother would end up in prison for eight months.

“My husband told me that he had to take custody while his affair partner was locked up or the child would have to go to his grandparents who live practically on the opposite coast from us,” she explained.

“Your child doesn’t want to change schools or be so far away from his friends, his father and his mother (he will spend his time quite close to us).”

After hearing the news, she got up and left and when she returned, she handed him a copy of her area’s housing guide.

When he asked if she was serious, she said yes, but he argued that she wasn’t being fair “given the extenuating circumstances.”

“I told him I didn’t care about the circumstances,” she concluded.

“His child is not welcome in my home.”

So she wants to know if she’s wrong here?

“Go on with your life”

“I in no way believe it is your responsibility to raise this child. But it is his responsibility. And this poor boy asked for none of it,” one person commented on the post.

“The whole situation would be happier and healthier if you guys just broke up,” one user added.

And a third wrote: “I think you should divorce him and move on with your life,” a third replied.

“It’s not your job to take care of the child,” echoed a fourth.

“She should do it right away when she first finds out about cheating. “It would save her the drama that followed,” another pointed out.
