Hello, I have a 2 year old daughter. The mother and I split up before the child was born. I have paid my child support and I have an active role in my child's life. I have had visitation time since she was three months old. It has gradually increased to every other weekend and every other Wed. I am married and I have an eight month old son. I can provide a stable living environment for my daughter and I want joint physical/legal custody. The mother is single but engaged. What do I need to do to prove to the court that I deserve an equal part in my daughter's life? Why does the mother deserve sole custody we have never been married and we made this child together. Neither party can afford a lawyer but we are going through a mediator. PLEASE HELP.
