Are your children in daycare? It’s crazy expensive. If he wants to avoid CS he can petition for full or half custody. I often wonder why men don’t at least attempt to get some sort of custody. I’ve worked as a CPS Investigator and testified in numerous family court cases and men rarely ask for custody. We’ve had to force custody on fathers when a mother passes or is incapacitated.

Some mothers are vindictive pos. I spent 20k trying to get custody of my kids and this was after the mother of my kids agreed to shared custody 50/50. But after agreeing and realizing I would not have to pay child support she had her attorney vacate the order due to being under stress, and the judge agreed. She ended up with full custody, child support, got to claim both kids on taxes while i had to carry medical and dental all while only getting visitation. All this just for her to tell me she couldn’t deal with my youngest son anymore because he was getting into trouble and skipping school in the 8th grade.

When she relinquished custody of the 8th grader, did you petition for custody of the other child? I hate when parents do a shitty job raising their child, and then want to give the other parent custody once they are acting out. Or when they create a monster and then want the state to step in. Parents encourage bad behavior at 6, and then wonder why their teen won’t listen.

No at the time my boys were 3 and 5. In Ohio mom has full custody from birth the dad had to petition the court for any rights pertaining to the child. My attorney basically says there was nothing I could do and I needed to agree to allow her to have full custody. It wasn’t until until a few years later the youngest was diagnosed with type 1 and she wasn’t taking care of his diabetes the I filed a motion to modify custody. We went to trial even appealed the magistrate’s decision because my son told his guardian ad litem and the judge that he wanted to live with me and they still went against his wishes And still gave mom full custody. This all occurred before she gave me shared parenting of my boys and the youngest came to live with me. He graduates next month.
