[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids can claim abuse just because it gets everyone’s ears perked up but unless you know there is actual physical abuse, I’d be careful as it looks like you’re trying alienate child from mom—especially in light of your petition for more time. [/quote] This is EXACTLY my concern and why I asked here about whether she might be making it up. And why I haven’t leapt to claiming abuse. OTOH if kid is genuinely unsafe I can’t ignore this. [/quote] The bar for her being unsafe is very high. Getting ‘Physical’ won’t be enough. Flakey mom and personality conflict won’t either. Don’t pursue custody beyond 50/50 if you don’t already have it. If mom wants to take off in an rv then fine, daughter lives with you and mom can come visit. Just keep paying her child support to keep her happy. It sucks but it’s the best way to deal with that personality. You would spend all that money on attorneys anyway and you will not win custody.
