If my husband and I are separated, can he get full custody of our child if I’m dating someone?
My husband and I separated and began living in separate homes 4 months ago. We have a 10 month old son and for the entirety of his life, he has been cared for primarily by me. He lives with me since the separation as well. When we separated, we decided that once we could afford to file, we would agree on joint custody. He has only seen our son less than 10 total times for no more than 2 hours each time. He has never stayed alone with him overnight and only has been alone with him on those 10 above-mentioned visits 1 time at his own house. He found out that I started seeing someone 2 weeks ago and now says he wants full custody and can get it based on my dating. Is this true or even possible?
