[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you want to blackmail your husband in order to prevent the court from ordering what's best for your children, which in most cases is joint custody?

Hopefully he has enough balls to fight back.[/quote]

I will allow liberal visitation in exchange for sole legal custody. He has routinely brought my children into another woman's house so that "siblings could have a relationship", unbeknownst to me.  This means he has placed the children into an unhealthy moral environment, allowing them to witness his adulterous behavior, and making them keep a secret from their mother.  I don't think this will endear him to the judge...[/quote]

The judge will not care. [/quote]
You think a father who makes a six-year old lie to cover for him could possibly be a good parent? A benevolent influence?[/quote]

Getting sole custody is virtually impossible. Unless he is abusing the children and/or shows a pattern of consistent negligence (and even then, that's not a slam dunk), no judge will sign off on giving you sole custody. Making your kid lie about seeing the other woman? Happens all the time, and judges award joint custody. Remember, the judge will have the final say in your divorce.[/quote]

it is not true that "no judge will sign off on sole custody." It is true that if you and your H disagree on custody and come before the judge asking that he decide, it is unlikely that you will get sole custody.

If you and your husband both agree on custody and the other elements of the divorce settlement and you are just putting the completed agreement before the court, then no judge will refuse to sign it, even if the agreement gives you sole custody.

BTW, there is a difference between sole physical custody with visitation to the father.  Legal custody is different than physical custody and involves sharing decisions about school, religion, medical, etc.  You may be able to get sole physical by giving in on joint legal custody so that your Ex has the veneer of "joint" custody.[/quote]
