The worst thing anybody can do in this type of case is to represent themselves because they are working in the best interest of a child. There are various types of child custody from permanent full time physical custody as well as joint custody. Seek legal advice.

The court believes a child has a right to both parents. The law is that the court will determine what is best and the parents must abide by that decision.

Pretty much like other states. The court determines who has custody and who pays support and how much that support will be. I would strongly recommend you avoid representing yourself. Child custody laws are serious business and your inability to act as effective counsel could irreparably harm your child's life.
