[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those who were able to get more than half custody, assuming the other spouse wanted half, what did it take?

If there was emotional abuse towards the child and both physical and emotional towards the mother how and what did you document?

My friend did speak to a few attorneys but they said that emotional abuse towards children is hard to prove and has to be horrendous to really matter much in family court.

Your friend is right. The best results I’ve seen is when people don’t fight it out using lawyers, they agree to 50 50 but guess what? Many men don’t really want it, so kids end up back primarily with mom anyway [/quote]

Yes, this is what I observed as well. On paper the agreement is 50/50 and it starts out that way but slowly over the first year it shifts to something closer to 80/20 and most of the time with mom.  One friend's ex eventually dropped the full every other weekend and would just come every other Saturday to whatever game her son had and then he would take him out for a bit and bring him back before bedtime.

Yep. As soon as daddy gets a girlfriend, he drops the kids like hot rocks.

Seen it over and over and over and over again.[/quote]

Yawn, stop making up stuff.[/quote]
