    Exclamation Divorce And Stripping

    Anyone have any legal advice in this situation? My ex has already filed for divorce and I want to try and get full custody of my child. I don't feel that being a dancer affects me as a mother in any way... I only have to work 3 nights a week and the rest of the time I spend with him and I can still pay all my bills and provide for my son... brilliant! I don't want it to affect me getting my son though. I know that being a dancer is a legal job, just like working at a coffee shop or a retail store. I guess what I am trying to say is will it affect me getting custody of my son if my occupation is a dancer?

    PLEASE HELP!

    The best advice is to get a really good divorce attorney, pay your taxes and stay out of trouble, don't give the judge any reason at all to take your son away. Please get a good attorney asap!

    I am def. gonna get an attorny asap but I need to know if I should get a second job? the downside to a second job is not being able to spend as much time with my son. That is my strongest part in the battle, I can spend more time with my son AND I can provide for him better than his father can.

    If you could dance with out your ex finding out I would. If the issue is proving that your able to support your kid then I would get a straight/day job during the day and dance on weekends until he divorce is final. Good luck.

    When it comes to custody disputes the woman is always the preferred parent to have sole custody.
    why?
    because most judges are older - around 60 years old and they were raised in an era where that was just the way it was, and i would argue, it still is.
    I don't think the fact that you're a dancer should be an issue unless your ex's lawyer tries to brand you as a drug addict (lets face it that's one of the stereotypes that plagues our profession).
    Better to be a dancer and be able to financially provide for your child than to be unemployed IMO.
    Invest in good legal advise and good luck.

    My husband is a lawyer and his advice is for you to get an attorney. Custody battles are almost always messy and it's best to leave this job to a professional. He says you can go IN PRO PER but he highly does not recomend you do so. Call the State Bar and ask a recomendation for divorce attorney.

    My husband also says lawyers can put a spin on everything and that the legal community in general is very conservative. An attorney could easily argue, that your job, while legal, is highly inmora and does not set a proper example for a young child.

    Your best bet is to hire an experienced divorce lawyer.

    Good Luck!

    It's entirely dependent on your area of the country and the judge you get. You need to talk to a good lawyer.

    And mothers aren't neccessarily the preferred parent anymore. It's legally fashionable now for fathers to get custody.
