Any guys out there that won custody of their kid/s? Maybe some members with Legal knowledge? I haven't been around much lately. With the mother of my daughter moving out last memorial day,I had kinzie for the majority of the summer. Then the ex gf started reducing my time with kinzie. So we ended up getting dna tests and kinzie is mine.Now the ex gf is leaving my 2 year old daughter with her boyfriend or his mother.
I echo ddp's thoughts, Saugmon. I won't say that there is no way that you could lose, but just keep playing it by the book.
I'd start by removing all the little details that you've amassed from this thread just in case she/he/it happens to drop by afterdawn. I'd hate for her to be able to use this thread against you and foil your attempt at custody. Other than that I have to believe you have a solid case and excellent chance at getting your little girl all to yourself. I'd also get her other kids father and try to get them into foster care as soon as possible since neither wants them. At least they might have a chance to find a loving family to take care of them until they are no longer minors. Good luck saugy!
Saug, I have PM'd you, do as Loco suggests and edit all references to the ex. Trust me on this one. Poor quality pic from my cell phone, but that is the paperwork from the custody fight, poor starving beavers.
Bigtoxy.....Loco's other, more well known, personality. One of many he does not share with us here at aD. Edited to satisfaction.
Keep on the straight and narrow Saug. Every little slip up could bite you back in the arse.(no punch ups down at the local) Looks like you gotta few mates here btw? Nice eh? From me and mine to you and yours...all the very best.
The courts almost automatically assign the kids to the mother... I would have loved my brat to go with her horrid father, but he didn't want (he fought.. I think just to make things worse) so I got lumbered. The problem is nobody listens to the children, who really should have a say. About this "dumping them on relatives/friends" stuff.. Do you work?.. would the situation for the child be any different with you if and when you start dating or whatever again? Because you are going to want to start doing that again sometime.. Chin up.. carry yourself well and don't lose your rag... and just maybe you will get the result you need... and if I may a word from somebody who has been through this twice.. Remember you have a life too.. it's not all about the children though many people would have you believe otherwise. It's about you and coping and being able to provide for your reduced size family full time through good times and bad. It's a challenge, and just because you may have fallen out it doesn't give the excuse to use the kids as a weapon to destroy the other person. my 0.02c Keep your cool and Be Lucky
Not always, but it is interesting to be the only man in a room full of mothers looking to collect owed child support, and explaining that I am the one with the child and I am the one who was owed almost $18,000 (eighteen thousand US dollars) in back support. I won by following the advice of my lawyer, acting like a saint, and above all always act in the best interest of the child. And keep the faith.
Maybe in the US it is different.. I know here a single father is far far more likely to be a widower than divorced. Even when the mother is a crack-whore and the father a saint.... I never got a single penny in child support.. like I was surprised. If I had the taxman would have just taken it back off me.. so no loss and no gain. Blivit.. I can see you now.. jammed in a room full of man hating angry women all glaring at you.. brightened up my day.. thanks
Once their initial shock wore off, they were all very supportive. Most had never met a father who cared about their kids at all, let alone fight for them.
Father's winning custody happens frequently nowaways in my locale. Kinzie's personal laywer favors the fathers. Many mothers around here lose custody because they don't work day shift. I got a deadbeat brother that's having his 3 kids taken care of by my parents. I am nothing like my brother,LOL!!! He's 37 and still lives with my parents. The ex got surved yesterday.She is PO'd. Now i'm waiting for the judge to sign the temporary custody order.I'm waiting for her bf to threaten me again,for the 3rd time. Having seen what the ex did with her other kids,I'm doing everything possible to keep kinzie from going through the same crap. She only wants kinzie because I earn a paycheck.The other 3,she don't give a squat.She abondoned them.Her boyfriend won't allow them to stay there. Her legal husband signed papers for her to pay child support on the other 3 kids,and the oldest child isn't his.
Deputy sherrif came knocking on my door a little while ago. He had me sign a temporary restraining order because of domestic violence for name calling,months ago. LMAO on that one while helping the deputy gather my 5 hunting rifles to hold for a while. She used me for 3 yrs and I didn't do anything but help the ho out. I will have to call my attorney tomorrow. I guess I won't be taking kinzie trick or treating thursday night, UGGH!!! Getting Ugly now!!!!!!
Months ago.. and you signed and didn't tell him to get off your property and take his BS restraining order with him? .. and they took your perfectly legal guns which will now be used as "evidence" of your violent and threatening tendencies..... a sucker born every minute.. sorry.
Hmm, the cops didn't care about my firearms, but did comment favorably about my 1/4" group shot at 100 yards. I can't believe they made you surrender legal firearms...
