It's no walk in the park taking on the responsibility 24/7 I'm sure you will get to see your child by court order if its needed. Go to court but try and keep from getting into the silly petty stuff. Make your main goal to get visitation. You might be ordered to pay child support. But If works anything like it dose for a man. Then you have nothing to worry about. The system is slow and workable.

Although statistically, the numbers show most mothers will retain primary custody of their children, this isn't decided because of that. Courts make decisions of custody based on what is best for the children, not the parents. More men are getting custody, joint or primary because they are demonstrating that they can provide a good growth environment for their children. If a father gets primary custody, I would have to assume that the courts determined it was in the best interests of the children to do so.
Can we have more background information on this situation?
What caused the breakup/separation? Infidelity, drugs, alcohol, some other addiction, abuse, etc.
You said that your spouse was vindictive, why is that so? Have you done something to illicit this kind of response.
I'm not taking sides, it's just easier to look at the picture when you get to see the entire picture. This is an online forum, no one knows your identity (or mine or anyone else's for that matter), care to share some details on this issue? It could help with the kind of advice your looking for.
Either way, good luck!
