[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, huuuuge red flag. Someone gave up their kids? They are a pos. End of story. [/quote]

Usually it’s not that they “gave them up,” but that their ex-partner basically stole custody.[/quote]

Not possible. If they don’t have them they didn’t do the barest minimum to fight for them. [/quote]

After a divorce, with child support, alimony, divorce costs, often men get stuck with the bulk of the expenses and they simply cannot afford the court battle.[/quote]

Every family court is more than equipped to do this with pro se litigants. The default rules heavily favor fair splits so it’s very hard for a mom to successfully avoid giving a willing dad his time. [/quote]

You really think a Dad will win pro se against an attorney and mom who makes up stories about how bad the dad is?  And, what if mom moved the kids cross country - that is still filing fees, plane tickets, hotel.  And, what about people who cannot travel freely like active duty?[/quote]

Not only do I think a dad will win pro se, up against a lawyer—I know he will. It happens absolutely every day.

Now if dad won’t give up a job that will prevent him from taking 50/50 custody you’re right. He won’t be granted 50/50 custody. Parenting is full of hard choices. Your husband made his choice. [/quote]

You are in la la land to think a dad with no legal experience can win 50-50.  And, how does that work when mom took the kids while he was at work and moved them cross-country without his or the courts permission?[/quote]

How it works is he files an emergency custody order and forces them right back if he actually wants them. There is a national law about this and he could have availed himself of it and won, but he clearly didn’t even try.[/quote]

I am someone who filed an emergency custody order during the height of Covid, as ex was continuing every matter and prolonging the process, and the judge came out yelling about “taking it to Annapolis” if my lawyer had a problem with how aggressive he was being.  He wouldn’t even hear the argument for why this was being requested.[/quote]
