[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew a child whose father broke into their home beat mom unconscious, kidnapped kid who was found by police in an apartment where Dad was squatting.  Dad was unconscious on heroin and toddler was wandering around unsupervised.

He got unsupervised visitation when he got out of jail.[/quote]

That is horrific but I am not surprised. Courts have gone completely batsh*t with the fathers rights these days.[/quote]

Also true. When my DC were little, a lawyer told me that even a skull fracture due to an incident of neglect was not grounds for supervised. My XH didn’t get 50% because he was stupid in front of the judge and chose to focus on CS. [/quote]

Seriously, I have posted this same comment before in previous threads, but it is EXTREMELY hard to get full custody if the other party wants 50/50.  I have a friend whose husband was extremely abusive.  He beat her up so bad twice that she was hospitalized and he was convicted and did some time (not nearly enough).  She tried for full custody, but it was ruled that his physical abuse toward her had nothing to do with the children, so it 50/50 was granted.  She is in a constant state of fear and anxiety for her kids when they are in his custody.  I'm truly sorry you are in this situation.  This is the main reason I haven't divorced my husband.  I would fear for their safety while in his care.  My youngest suffered a skull fracture, concussion, broken eye socket and diminished hearing due to something really stupid my husband did (not abuse, just being reckless and terrible judgment).  The attorney I consulted said it would have no bearing in a divorce/custody situation.  [/quote]
