[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a case where the ex-wife remarried a very wealthy man and basically used legal firepower to start draining the ex-husband’s monetary resources. The ex-husband was basically left with two options: (1) spend down everything on lawyers and still eventually lose your kids or (2) keep what you got and see kids on holidays, but otherwise ex-wife gets full custody.

I know another case where the ex-wife’s father was crazy rich (9-figure net worth) and it was basically the same situation - we will outspend you until you have nothing and you’ll still lose the kids.

This happens way more often then you realize, particularly in UMC and wealthier circles.[/quote]

Unfortunately this also happened to a friend of mine.  The legal system is the best we have but is by no means perfect.   He really misses his kid.  [/quote]

This happened to me also: I was extremely poor (due to having been a SAHM to cheating ex!) and he hired the nastiest, most aggressive divorce attorney who just decimated me in court.  He consulted with the other reputable divorce attorneys in the area and the guy I hired ended up being pretty terrible.  He got primary physical and legal custody.  Custody order determines we are equally as fit as parents.  I have gone to court many times to amend this but no luck.

I am devastated by this every day.  Just yesterday my kids left to go back and were in tears for an hour before leaving, saying it wasn’t fair and asking why they don’t get to choose where they live.  It is an absolute nightmare.

All of this to say: things aren’t as cut and dry as you might think when it comes to custody decisions.
