Asked on Feb 11th, 2014 on Domestic Violence - Nevada
More details to this question:
The father of my child got into an argument and he snatched my son out of my arms and walked away so I went after.him and told him not to do that and pushed him. He threatened me that my son will either spend the night or I go to jail and lose custody. I said no to him sleeping over and he called the.cops. After 5 min of calling the cops he.regretted.it and lied to the cops that I had left. But I came out of the room and then I got questioned and got arrested. After the.arrest for 3 days straight he kept texting and calling me asking me why I'm breaking up with him. And said since I do not want to be with him this is what I have to deal with meaning going to court again. We already have a decree and agreed on.everything. What are the chances he can take him away from me? He sees his son everyday just doesn't have overnight visitation yet

A DV arrest is never a good thing going into a possible custody dispute, but from your description, it also will not be the defining event. First, look over the explanations, materials, and resources posted at:

Then your very best bet is to consult with a family law specialist, who can analyze your specific facts and circumstances, and advise you of what to expect, and what actions you might take to obtain a result acceptable to you.
