[QUOTE="michelenicole, post: 591547, member: 14386"] He had the chance last summer before he actually agreed to the joint. His thought was that he'd go ahead and agree to joint custody as him as the custodian instead of spending the outrageous amounts on the lawyer and maybe not getting the sole custody. We'd already spent $1500 in lawyer fees dealing with the custody case, and he was layed off at the time and just receiving unemployment. I wasn't happy with his decision and told him, but, then again, they are his kids. He had an excellent case though because of the neglect, she didn't have a lawyer, she was a year behind in child support, and she had just been arrested for felony shoplifting. Piece of work, let me tell you. I mean, I understand why he decided to do what he did. I gave my two cents and told him I was done talking about it. But, at the same time, I don't understand it. And, I think, now she'd have to do something worse in order for the courts to take a sole custody petition seriously because, if she has a lawyer, all they'd have to say was, "She locked the kids in a bedroom, but you still wanted her to have joint custody." Ugh. [/QUOTE]
