No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

well the divorce is done. Spent over 9k to get 50% custody and no child support. Oh and I let her have everything except half the equity in the house.
Cost me 9k because she demanded 100% custody and child support even though she was the one who had the affair. I found out and confronted her to which she freaked out and demanded a divorce. I moved out for over a month begging her to go to a marriage counselor and she refused. I served her with a petition for divorce and thats when she went off the deep end and started to fight me over the kid. She even went to the extent of lying and saying I hit her and crap..... I held my ground and demanded 50% custody of Tyler and no child support and she finally settled out of court 1 week from the trial date.

Oh and in the middle of all of this I had a pretty bad car wreck. Had to have shoulder surgery to fix a problem from that. Gained a shit ton of weight. Lost my job and have been out of work for almost 4 months.

But other then that I still have my boy in my life and thats all that counts.

Lost over 3/4ths the weight already.

Wow. Zafod "the survivor"! High five for that.

Congrats on the custody and fighting for your rights. Good luck moving forward and welcome welcome welcome.  :cheersmate:

That's right, he comes first.  With your attitude, you'll pull out of your difficulties quickly.  Blessings to you and Tyler.

Zafod - it speaks volumes about your character that you:

a. tried to work things out and did everything to make a horrible situation better
b. put your kid first
c. have a positive attitude about things despite what's happened
d. are moving forward and taking responsibility for what you can control

That my friend is the mark of a real man. DUmmies should take note.

Hat is off to you buddy.

Did you prove the adultery in court? Seems like that would have made a big difference with the judge. On the other hand, courts like to give custody to the mom.

Sorry about your problems, though. Glad you are back.

No the courts couldnt give two shits about adultery when dealing with custody. Its whats best for the child is all they care about.

You'd think that breaking marriage vows would have some weight in deciding which parent is "best for the child," wouldn't you?  Adultery is now so common that judges don't even see it as a negative mark on a mother's character.

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry. I know how much you love that little boy and how proud you are of him. I'm sorry for the divorce. I'm glad you still have the kid half the time though.

I'm sorry about your job as well. Maybe Joblink or a really good job agency could help you out? I'm thinking you're qualified for a lot of stuff due to your past experience.
Happy Upcoming July 4th. Our country is still one of the best in the world.

If he lives in a no-fault state it doesn't make a damn bit of difference.
