[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother had to fight tooth as nail to get custody of his kids. His wife had walked out (didn't take the kids) to live with her affair partner. Not long before court her lawyer told her she needed to have the kids if she wanted to get money. So she took them and refused to let my brother see them. After court was over (and she was given full custody) even though he had been the primary parent, she started to drop them off to him again as she just wanted money, not the kids. After a couple years if showing he had the kids more than her he went back to court and list again. Judge said not the change the status quo. Financially with all the money he was paying to her plus actually paying most costs for the kids and paying for his own living expenses - he couldn't keep going back to court. He waited until the kids were able to really voice their own views and then went back to court once more and won. By then the kids were pretty messed up by it all. The divorce and immediate step dad messed them up, thie mom not really wanting them messed them up, wanting to live with their dad and not being able to messed them up, my brother'a subsequent remarriage messed them up (she had two young kids and his kids were really angry those kids got to live with him full time and they didn't).

This was 20 years ago. The kids are now mid twenties and are still only semi functional. Their own relationships have been messes and they are still trying to find themselves and her over their anger. [/quote]

So, before all that happened, the mom was a model parent in a stable and happy marriage, and the divorce messed the kids up?  [/quote]
