I just went through divorce and a custody battle. It’s amazing how much the court is stacked against the mother. Now they have to be with him every other week and they hate it, and I can’t help them.
My lawyer said she wouldn’t walk into a courtroom unless she knew for sure that he wouldn’t try to seek full custody. So many things made me look bad.
I had him removed with a protective order in 2018. That was not enough proof that he was abusive. Because he didn’t contest it, so there was no hearing and no findings to label him an abuser. If we had gone to a hearing and there were findings (I had TONS of evidence - which I had sent to my lawyer) the custody battle would have gone much differently. I’m still so devastated about it.
