• Re: custody of a child - GoodDad from MD 2007-11-10 04:17
  >> Just wait until you have the child in your custody and refuse to let other spouse take them.

  Perfect recipe for felony kidnapping charges and having your visitation rights stripped away. You need to stop and think before you say things like this. Life isnīt fa --more...

• Re: Help for Good Mom - GoodDad from MD 2007-11-10 04:16
  You didnīt list any of the specifics so itīs hard to judge anything from what you said. The one thing that strikes me though is that you are obviously on the defensive and that is probably what the other party wants in this matter. Try to re-focus your attention in su --more...

• Re: do i have a chance, should i file? - GoodDad from MD 2007-11-10 04:16
  As a current NCP and father who is in the same situation as your ex (4 hours away) I have to caution you against taking away your childīs right to be with the father. Most courts these days recognize the need for both parents to be in the childīs life as much as possib --more...

  Be the bigger person. The court doesnīt care about her abusing you if it doesnīt have a significant impact on the child(ren) involved. Keep a log. Talk to your kids. Are they being alienated as a result of her attitude? If your child(ren) ask you why mommy says som --more...

  The best way to find a lawyer is through word-of-mouth. The first lawyer I hired was no good. I found her through a lawyer referral service. I asked for a lawyer with experience in family law. It turned out that YES, she was very experienced in that field and jurisdi --more...

  I would file for a modification of orders on the grounds that your ex is unable to care for your child while she is in prison. Your ex has good reason to think she could not regain custody if youīve maintained a lifestyle that avoids the perpetual instability you descr --more...

• Re: mistake in sole custody - Susan in Wichita, Kansas 2006-04-17 02:10
  I believe the reason he got custody is because she "signed away" her parental rights - or she was told she could anyway.
  

  The very fact that she WOULD sign away her parental rights is indicative, in my opinion, of the reason why a court would grant sole custody --more...

  A verbal custody is not legal custody. He can file for legal custody and all you can do is fight for joint custody. Most likely if he wants custody he may win it if he finds a good reason for you not to have full custody. --more...
