[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 358747, member: 6705"] {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Most Dads don't want to go for the jugular, thinking it will look worse for them. Many lawyers advise Dads not to, and the kids suffer. husband's first two lawyers really twisted things up for him. I asked around - one of the guys I work with has FULL CUSTODY of his son. And never-married men usually do not GET full custody around here. We went with his lawyer. Since then, we have gotten first residential/shared parenting, then full custody. BM has gotten farther and farther from what she wants (which is to punish husband forever)... At least as far as the courts are concerned. But let me point out something. The death of a 7-month-old infant in her care (the kids' half sister), then Onyxx being molested by her now-husband, is what lost her custody. Now that we have a diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), we [I]may[/I] be able to limit her visits with Jett back to the court's visitation schedule (Onyxx FLAT REFUSES to visit, and since she is 15... The courts won't push HER, except to say we should encourage her to go). But I doubt it very much. Our lawyer is a huge teddy bear of a man who strikes like a water moccasin - no warning. His demeanor is very misleading. He used to scare the tar out of Onyxx - because she had only seen him in court - now she loves him to death. My advice? Find another lawyer. This one is not helping you. [/QUOTE]
