He can file but if the basis of his application is that he has more money and a bigger house and he will have his girl friend care for the child then his petition will go nowhere fast. Make sure you have a good advocate that can throw it out.

A parent is not awarded primary residential custody just because he or she makes more money and has a bigger home. There are many factors that the court looks at in making a determination. You should have a consultation with a local experienced family law attorney since it is impossible to give a full explanation of your situation in this forum.
