Complete Loss of Custody- Mom

Anonymous
What would cause a court to fully strip a single mother of custody and grant it to her ex husband?

The woman in question is refusing to share the circumstances but she does have two DUIs from years ago.

She was otherwise a mild mannered, calm, gainfully employed at the same place (HS teacher) for 15 years.

She is apparently only permitted to have a 2 hour supervised visit once a month now.

Having worked in family law there are all kinds of reasons women can lose custody. A lot of times they have vindctive ex husbands who will spend any amount of money to punish their ex wife for leaving them. Courts are biased against women, most judges/lawyers/police officers are male.

On the other hand, sure, sometimes there are bad moms who did bad things. It's really hard to judge just from the loss of custody alone.

1. Using/dealing drugs in front of minors
2. Letting a registered s** offender live with her

Stuff like that.

But, in that case, wouldn't the mom just say "He outspent me"?

Refusing to provide an answer is a HUGE warning sign. I'd worry about it beingsomething she was doing that endangered the kids, like dating a pedo or leaving very young kids unsupervised while she went away for the weekend.

Yeeeaaahhhh, no. Pretty much every single dad I know had an uphill battle with custody. It was just assumed the mom would get them.

Mental health issues or really bad alcoholism that impacted the kids.

Yeah, that's just a cope and a lie from men. Most men dont even seek out custody but will lie and tell everyone that their wife "stole their kids" because they dont want to seem like a jerk of a dad.The reality is the court system almost uniformly favors men

I found courts are bias toward bullies and women.

There was probably abuse, neglect, mental health or drug use.
