I've been considering getting a D for some time now. DH has been getting really bad with gambling & we had a really big fight (again). He's already told me he planned to fight for custody of the kids if we ever get D. He earns a 6 fig income and I'm a SAHM to our kids & I'm pg. What are the chances that a judge would take the kids from me because I don't work & he makes so much $? We've been M 5&1/2 yrs.
I've been logging his gambling times for the past 2 mo, but basically that's just times & dates I've written down. I did photo his truck in the casino parking garage once. He has a past history of DUI & drinks non-stop in front of the kids, I don't really drink at all. In my mind I know I'd be the better parent, but he likes to blow things out of proportion & act like I'm a sorry mom or something. IE: he claimed this morning that he's the only one who's ever cleaned out our refrigerator. I'm like WHat?? That is so not true. But anyway, you see what I mean, he'll try to take any stupid little thing & throw it at me. My concern is that he could make up enough stuff & combine that with his income to paint the prettiest picture of himself. In truth he's almost never home & when he is he's drinking & yelling at me. I also want to get some video of him drinking, but not sure if that would help me

You would get custody with him having visitation.
Ruff... every state is different when it comes to what goes into custody decisions.
