Then recommend a change in custody, problem solved. But you don’t as it’s “traumatic” for the child. It is only traumatic if the decision would be in favour of the child father relationship. Who snatched away the child first and makes accusations and establishes a new status quo “wins”. You (custody evaluators) could change it but you don’t.

I have a friend and her ex-husband who honestly handled custody of their daughter better than anyone! These two despised each other, their divorce was a nightmare. Then came custody, they turned into very different people. Dad stayed in the home, Mom moved two blocks away. Their daughter was 14 at the time of the divorce, at the time it was safe for the child to walk between the two homes. Basically the child lived with Mom, but could go to Dad's anytime and often stayed overnight at Dad's during the week or weekends. Both parents were able to constructively talk to each other when it came to their daughter. When it came to money again no issues, Dad offered to pay support but Mom was able to take care of her own bills. In the end both patents just equally bought things as needed, paid fees or whatever again somehow both parents were able to communicate. I believe they both understood they were equally responsible for paying their daughter's bills. If my friend had unexpected bills, her ex had no problem paying for things that my friend usually paid. Weirdest thing that they could make parenting work but not their relationship.

Melissa Now, this is a rare story in the world of divorce and parenting. It is wonderful to know the adults are acting mature and working together. Think of the lesson their child learned.

unfortunately the state is incentivized financially to put one of the parents on child support regardless of what the parents agree on. also in many states, the judges are also financially incentivized to do this.

My in-laws are acting so much like that mother, who is completely obsessed with what I do. My inlaws reach out to family members of mine that don't like me, and they have made 10+ CPS complaints, etc and have made many threats to take my child away. This anxiety inducing behavior is very bad. They are so focused on ruining my life and relationship with my child that it has cost me so much money and time away from my child. I have struggled with work and keeping up with my life. In addition, the damage they have done to my family is irreparable. They were granted visitation even though they are the step great-grandparents, but they are given many decision making rights over my child. My child is being used as a pawn, and then this is corrupting our lives. I am appealing this order, but I am considering suing my inlaws for all of this emotional and mental anguish.

I am going through the same thing right now! My ex called DFCS and falsely accused me of things and with no investigation the case worker awarded him custody and gave him permission to leave the state with my daughter! Now I have a court date in a different state scheduled in October and I don't even know what the accusations were to defend myself! I didn't find out he did this until I went to the sheriffs Dept to press charges for him taking her out of state and only then did I learn about the custody change with DFCS that I never seen signed by a judge but the investigator said there was nothing he could do! I feel so violated! How did they arrive at such a serious decision with only half a story? I wasn't given a fair or much less a chance at all! Nothing! I'm learning how to file a law suit myself for the emotional distress this has brought both me and my daughter because of their grossly negligent decisions mine and my daughters relationship has been damaged and sabatouged! I am pissed at all the lost time wasted of mine and my daughters life we can never get back that was so unnecessary. Only when they are made to be accountable will they learn to stop making these mistakes that are so damaging to the mental health of children for an indefinite amount of time. If they can accept appreciation then they should be able to accept criticism as well. I get so mad just thinking about it!! How dare her take away my biological rights without discussing it with me, notifying me, nothing!!! And then turn around and give him the go ahead to take off with my little girl out of state.. what in the hell was she thinking? She knew I was around my daughter because in the parenting plan it clearly states that if she leaves with me to call law enforcement. She believed every filthy word he said without batting an eye and fell hook, line, and sinker. These people need some serious training! If a child has two living parents discuss situation with both before you make a decision!!!!! Accept they're are liars in this world that unfortunately made it to be parents!!! It is the case workers responsibility to make the best decision for the child and if you can't do that well get someone that can! Don't just go out on a limb and hope for the best! Don't believe they have a goat just because one says they have a goat. Go look for yourself!!! I'm sorry for going off on a tangent but it frustrates me to no end and how such ignorancy there still is with this matter. New policies should have been made yesterday to stop this yet it keeps on and on and there is just no excuse for it. We're supposed to be smarter than this and more caring about human life than this yet we keep pussyfooting around like it's not important. I don't get it. When did teaching kids to hate their parents become acceptable and okay? And we wonder what has happened to our society? Why kids act out.. with the arise of narcissism now more than ever. The abuse from them is serious and some will go as far as murder. With over 158 million Americans effected by their abuse why is the effects on children being ignored and taking up so much time in our family courts? We don't turn our head on our veterans do we and pretend they don't need help? We don't turn our head on animal cruelty and pretend they don't need help? Foreign affairs? Why our children? Please someone help me understand why we haven't done one thing to stop this?! To prevent this?!

[@lydiahubbell6278]

I think using custody to enforce court orders when it is detrimental to the child is wrong. I think the proper way to deal with disobedience of court orders is with a contempt petition. In my case, from day one my daughter's dad lied and also asked for court orders just so he could claim I was violating them. He actually filed a petition for contempt which was totally bogus, but within a few months I was violating orders. So he supplemented the contempt petition. I got some gag orders overturned on appeal, but you are supposed to follow them until they are overturned. I cannot follow a court order if it is going to hurt my daughter mire in the long run. Sometimes having custody is not the most important thing, protecting the child from additional trauma is. The courts really failed us, but I trusted the system at first and was compliant and cooperative. When I figured out what was going on, I had to push back. In my case, we had never been married. We worked from an agreed order until our daughter was old enough to go to school and then he decided to cut me out of her life. I could not afford a lawyer and he had one that lied with impunity. I always supported my daughter's relationship with her dad. He completely erased me. I am appealing the latest custody modification order. I can see very easily why some parents walk away. I have known many parents whose children were torn apart like a piece of meat two dogs were fighting over. Some kids committed suicide or ended up in mental hospitals. It is so sick.

[@Mother.in.the.Jungle]

I represented myself both times I was up against the fathers of my children-I couldn’t afford an attorney, and wound up doing it myself. What I learned is to win, which I managed each time, considering ANYONE’S benefit other than the child’s will not serve you well, and it shouldn’t. In the state of Utah, women rank in the bottom 5 states even it comes to having rights. This isn’t a discussion point, we’ve ALL seen it, unless you’re blind. However, when responsibility is sought for the child, irresponsible parents, whether female or male, will more than likely have a selfish glow that’s nearly visible. Occasionally, you’ll meet a parent whose ONLY interest is claiming something meaningful from the other person. With the most meaningful right being the children, unfortunately, this needs to be factored in. With one of my exes, that was the ONLY reason he fought for custody. Needless to say, the judge picked up on it. That ex hasn’t laid eyes on his beautiful daughter, living half an hour away, in over a decade. He hasn’t called for holidays or written cards for birthdays, because he’s selfish. Thank god that glowed! Remember, put your own differences aside for the interest of your child-not for custodial reasons; because that’s what your child deserves!

Mother automactilly feel like because we birthed the children well always deserve more of the child's time and love and thats not fair. I'm happy some court systems are finally starting to open their eyes up.

If you find yourself being consoled by your child or ostracized because of the other parents actions or hatred. How should the consoled or ostracized parent approach that with their child?

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Seeking Justice, if I understand what you are asking, look at this situation as an opportunity for your child to use empathy and kindness, don't bring them any further into the situation or have them feel responsible in any way for what is happening. You can let your child know how you are sad and tell her hugs make you feel better. For a small child, this is enough.

In my case all talk no evidence

[@AnwaarsTarot]

My daughters mother is a heroin addict / narcissist and has been keeping my daughter away from me the past month so that she could take me to court for not seeing my daughter. We split the driving 50/50 for the past 6 years and in January she lost her ability to drive so instead of finding another way to transport, she filed a restraining order to keep me away so that she could say I'm not around. Court is next Wed. None of her claims on the order are current. All are from our past relationship back in 2013. This is her claim for me not to be around. My daughter 10 year old doesn't agree. I have physical evidence of her heavy drug use, a CVS clerk where she left my child at the counter for 15 minutes while she went and got high in the car and video evidence of her boyfriend assaulting me. Any advice you can offer for the hearing next week?

I have a case where my stepson keeps telling us he gets hit by his stepdad and whenever my husband brings it up, mom says dad is making up things because he is jealous of her new relationship. We’re currently dealing with cps because my stepson came with shoe imprints on his bottom and mom keeps saying her son is lying and that dad is putting things in his head. Her husband did admit to hitting him right in front of her but every time her son, 4, asks why do you let him hit me? Mom keeps calling him a liar. My stepson even told me once he knows his mom doesn’t like his dad but he does. So I’m sure there’s some parental alienation going on there. Any advice for us? We’ll be going to court as mom wants to modify a court order on his visitation being supervised because cps is investigating her husband and her for child abuse.

Bob Hope, thank you for watching and being involved. Unfortunately, I am not able to give specific legal advice. However, my first thought is to remain positive through it all; easier said than done for sure, but remember you do have control over your emotions and actions. If you are worried about not staying involved in the child's life, try to work out with the mother if you can speak with your child over the phone and/or send cards or birthday gifts in the mail. As for the mother not obeying court orders, that is something the attorneys and legal system will need to work out. I would love to help where I can...

I caught her in lies and also she never appeared in hearings nor did what the judge ordered us to do! I went very deep into that rabbit hole to ensure I got custody of my son and still paying the price of the mental and emotional abuse I endured and this all happened in 2009! I would do it all over again for my son cause he has grown into an awesome man and is going to have a great career ahead of him and we both know that he wouldn’t have had that with her! Wish you luck

@@LiveOnPurposeTV thank you! We are happy and doing great! He’s about to turn 20 and still ticklish and I’m still enjoying being his father! Lol

@@annaclusker2261 if he is not allowing visitation I would follow what the decree says and document several times he has failed to appear with your son and then seek help with legal counsel and action!

So I don't know if anybody will read this, but in the divorce my ex-wife claimed 100% physical custody of my kids, and then my middle son told me, that Mom will spend two or three nights at a time, away from home. Should I see about getting the court to intervene? As a follow-up, a private investigator confirmed that she would spend two or three days away from home at a time.

Get the evidence and calmly approach the court if that is what you want to do.

I would love to hear your thoughts about parental alienation. My former SIL has managed to turn my nieces and nephews against my brother by making him out to be a horrible person. Is this grounds for him to at least get custody of the minor children?

Linda Stuart, check out the video I did on that subject. Go to the playlist and search with Parental Alienation.

How about a narrasitic dad that even has they judge fooled..

Icbraz Brattz, I wish I could help you, but I cannot give specific legal advice. All I can say is stay honest and keep your children's best interest at heart. I hope you are able to find an attorney to help you with your situation. Thank you for watching.

Most people who claim narrasitic or sociopath actually have the issue's they claim the other parents have.

I’m watching my husband and I are looking for lawyers to get custody of my stepdaughters. The mom displays all these things.

All Things Tanya, good luck.

Don’t listen to the negative comment here by Katheryn Wilson. My fiancé is a better mother figure than my child’s mother. If you are anything like my family you have every right to be doing what’s best for the children.

Hello question for you hasn't really started yet but the wheels are turning ex was served for custody and visitation but she is using my son as a pawn asking for money and dropping the court case and im not stopping it but is it illegal in the courts eyes whats shes doing i think it is i also have it in a text message to prove it

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

1 nation vs, check with your lawyer and see what he suggests.

[@Merciless_indian_Savage]

@@LiveOnPurposeTV he said its all he said she said on texts can be dismissed in court.. email or a co-parenting app is better for court

I hate that I have tried my hardest to get along with the father of my child and his wife, I have been vulnerable, apologized when I was in the wrong, and not given into their drama as much as I could with nothing in return… no child support, nothing for our child, and no apology(which is the least of my worries)… we haven’t been to court yet because he said he was going to settle and sign the order but he hasn’t… but even though he hasn’t signed the order I still give him visitation…. I have been dumb and went like a month without letting him see her, but again, no order hasn’t been signed…. He has been getting visitation now and I’m trying to do everything I’m supposed to do even though he hasn’t given me any support wish me luck on doing the right thing… yes I still mess up and feed into the drama and get annoyed at them because of all the stuff they say, but I’m trying to work it all out and I think it will get better after the court date next month.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

I am glad that you have tried. I do wish you the best with your court date. Hopefully that will wake them up.

This is Exactly what happened with our current custody battle. Evaluator sided with my husband and I over his two children. Mom is unwilling to admit any fault, recorded her children, all she talked about is what happened 10 years ago. We were very careful, respectful and henremained humble through this process and we are pleased it served him. I am thankful for your videos. Wish us luck we are nearing then end of year battle hopefully. Thank you again from Idaho

My baby mother is a deadbeat who doesn’t provide fir our daughter whatsoever. My daughter is 2 years old and she’s never had a job until now, only because the government provided her with housing so she has to pay rent. I have my 2 year old 24/7 and she comes to look at her like she’s a damn doll rather than a child. She has abandoned our child with me over 10x to where I had to put out missing person reports... I’ve been holding off for a over year not taking her to court for full custody just for the hope of her being here fir our daughter. In the end I still feel like a single father on the daily. It is definitely time for me to go to court, not for me, for this little girl

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

I wish you the best. Glad you are there for your daughter.

[@pjschillchannelxoxo]

I live in nh my mom accused me of things that never happened all she has is hearsay but i have evidence she is lying? How common would a judge decide to not give my daughter back?

Pj Gage, I have no idea of the specifics of your case. Please talk to a licensed attorney.
