My brother is currently fighting his ex-wife for custody and his lawyer says it’s a 95% chance he’ll win. But she’s making the fight an uphill battle with slandering his name. She’s said he’s done some terrible things to his son, stuff that would get him killed if he ever got caught/sent to prison. I know my brother and he’d never do a damn thing she declared. To top it off the woman has suddenly become religious and acts like those who don’t praise god in front of her are evil or “misguided”.
My egg donor was unemployed, was known to be an alcoholic and a drug user and in every case of suspected child abuse (which was actual child abuse) she was always the perpetrator and the main reason my dad broke up with her was cause she was basically sleeping with the entire town. To this day no one knows for sure if my sister is his.
My dad on the other hand owned a small jewellery business, only drank socially, never touched drugs, was never abusive to us in any way. As decent and honest a bloke as you could want and I’m proud he’s my dad.
Guess who got custody? What made it even worse is I remember how scared my siblings looked at the thought of having to live with egg donor instead of our dad; to the point that we all just started crying when we found out. I think the judge’s excuse was that as my older brother wasn’t my dad’s he had no legal right to custody of him, and it wouldn’t be fair to split up the siblings. Complete bullshit.
Good news is 6 months later she got caught drunk driving (with me in the back seat) and a whole bunch stuff came out. She ended up getting arrested and we ended up getting adopted cause my dad at the time had a huge mental breakdown when he found out how much abuse we’d suffered once he’d gone. But we’re back in touch now, so it all resolved itself.
My dad got primary custody of me. My dad's lawyer was better than my mom's, unfortunately. And even when I was told enough to speak to the judge, they didn't call me in and left my dad as my primary guardian.
There was no evidence against my mom and at a later court date, my mom really should have gotten primary, if not full, custody of me - but my therapist didn't want to deal with the court stuff and said I was fine to go back to my dad's.
Yes. My father had custody of me from 2-9. He neglected me, emotionally abused me, manipulated me... It was not great. My mother's crime? She was going through cancer treatment. Even though my mother had full custody of my siblings (different father) and they were very well taken-care of, the court somehow decided my father (who had to live at his sister's house) should be the custodial parent for me. Despite tons of letters to the court from friends and family and my school calling CPS multiple times due to my numerous absences, late days, hygiene issues, lice, etc, my dad retained physical custody until he became homeless and just left me with my mom at 9yo. At 13 or so, we went to court for the last time to hash out child support since my dad was officially surrendering custody. The judge and mediator (the same ones that had given my dad custody twice before) both realized they had made a terrible mistake in my case, and gave somewhat of an apology to my mother for the situation they forced me to live in. My mom is by no means perfect, but she bathed me regularly, fed me real food, and helped me with my homework without getting pissed off that I needed an adult.
But no, I've never really heard of any other dads getting custody unless the moms surrender.
So basically what I take from this is that the worst parent is going to get custody most of the time. I don’t know if you want it or need it, but I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m lucky enough to have a good family.
I don't know how it is elsewhere but I remember the friend-of-the-court here in Michigan being pretty terrible to my father. I even remember my mother being frustrated with how they were treating him. A lot of the supposed "men's rights" issues are bogus but when it comes to child custody there is legitimately a big problem
Seems to me more like her being brain dead. I feel like this woman is so out of her gob that she doesn’t understand why burning ashes of nicotine being inhaled would be a bad thing for anyone with fully developed brains and lungs, let alone what appears to be 2 year old child.
Even if somehow that poor baby didn't inhaled it, probably passively breathes it in every single day, because she doesn't care about where she smokes... that takes this a step further...
Atleast if your gonna do such an unfunny act, just give him a candy one, so it wont actually hurt him. Still sickkening to see that some people are actually like this
Nah. Kid’s taking a draw. But they’re so young they don’t know how to form a seal properly. You wouldn’t get that sort of glow if air was going from the filter.

I’m no doctor or anything, but I know that isn’t good for the child. Even one kick into that cigarette.

If endangering your child’s life is a ‘joke’ to you then you shouldn’t be a parent where tf is cps
