I have been divorced for three years now. My divorce was caused by my husband having an extramarital affair, then making tawba and marrying the sister. He also failed to provide sustenance for the duration of our marriage, and has provided only $40 every three months for the care of his two children ever since. I used to take them for visits, but he moved, and hasn’t returned to visit them in five months. He also neglects to call them more than once every few months. Do I have a right to file for full, permanent custody so that he doesn’t show up and take them one day? The law in America doesn’t protect me to keep them unless there is a custody order in place, and I know he’s proven to have erratic, irresponsible behavior. Please let me know if this is within my haqq to protect my family.
