My boyfriend of 8 years has a daughter with another woman. Back in the early days, he tried to get custody of her and was even able to prove that the mom spent all of her cash on cocaine. He had a job, the support of his family, and a plan to raise his daughter. But the judge decided that his daughter should live with her mom.
The mom moved in with another man and married him, making it so that my man didn't have to pay any child support. But you know what? Because of his integrity, he ensured that she got money every month to take care of his daughter, sent birthday and Christmas presents, and kicked in extra for back-to-school clothes and school field trips. All he asked was that his daughter come out and see him for a short while in the summer. How many times has she been out to see him in the past 16 years? 3!
And to top it all off, last time when he was on the telephone with his daughter, she complained that her mom had spent over $900 on a cocaine binge over the holiday season.
I completely agree that the courts favour women in custody battles FAR TOO OFTEN! I really hope that changes soon. I'm sure there are thousands of similar cases all over North America.
