Coparent doesn’t want 50/50

Hi, so my Baby Mom and I are split and we share a newborn child. Now I get the fact that as a newborn our child should be primarily with the mother. Our initial agreement was at 3 months of get every other weekend, and at 1 year we’d get 50/50. Both the problem is that my child’s mother doesn’t like the idea that some weeks I get to have the baby more than her. What do I do?

Edit:

She’s also making the point of not wanting 50/50 because she doesn’t have a license or a good job while I do. In addition, she’s already allowed me to have overnight stays for the past several weekends and she doesn’t breast feed at all.

Edit 2

I’d also like to add that mom and I live less than 10 minutes away from each other.

Coparent started dating abusive ex, what do I do?

Myself (24m) and my ex (26f) just recently had our daughter. We broke up during the pregnancy, but so far everything is going smoothly as far as custody and arrangements are going, despite our differences.

However, when we broke up, she got back with her ex boyfriend who she previously dated for 5 years before me. When they were together, they were extremely abusive towards each other, with him being the one who initiated it. She told me she wants to wait for him to meet her, but as also mentioned things like “you’re going to have to get used to him” when we discussed right of first refusal.

On top of all of this, I’m in the military and will be getting deployed soon. I’ve asked people about putting clauses in custody agreements for new partners, but all the responses to me are “it’s invasive and you wont be able to do that.” Obviously, I don’t want to be invasive on my daughter’s mother’s life, but I want to make sure my daughter’s safe, especially while I’m gone. What do I do?

The mother of my child and I split during the second trimester of her pregnancy. Since then, she’s gotten with a new man. On a personal level, I don’t care who’s she’s seeing because it’s none of my business, but I’m also getting deployed soon so I’ll be gone for some time, and I don’t want my child to be confused on who their father is. In addition to this, said boyfriend was physically abusive to the mother of my child before, so I already have trust issues to begin with. Now we’ve already discussed setting boundaries on how to introduce new partners, but Is there anything legally I can do?
