WHY AREN'T YOU FIGHTING FOR FULL CUSTODY


That's the problem with society, why the need to fight for custody? Children need two parents.

DC and Kirk wrote each have natural parenting feelings toward their children.

Absent harm to the child courts should defer to the parents with how they want to raise their child. It may not be how you would do it, but that doesn't mean its wrong. No one on this thread has given any valid reasons why equal custody would not work. Just they don't "think" its good.

My son has a child in equal custody on a 7 day rotating basis and has for years and it works just fine. There are no problems for the child.


You've obviously the whole rest of the post. That statement was in response to the accusations that this mother is not reasonable fair or mature...if she is not a good mother why is he not fighting for full custody? She is not here to defend herself -- we are only getting the one side of the story...

He already has joint custody. If he wants more time with his daughter -- all he has to do is petition the court for a change. He refuses to do that. He wants the court to undo their previous decision and remove the stigma from that decision on his life. The agenda behind this appeal is my issue not that the child needs both parents.

Every child needs 2 parents. Every child needs SOME TIME with both parents. I think equal time with a child is great, but the agenda behind this "appeal" is my issue...He refuses to just petition the court for a change...it makes me wonder why? Why won't he do what every other father has done and petition the court and justify why he deserves more time with his child and prove that he is a worthy winner in this case? Instead he just wants the courts to say they were wrong...that doesn't win anything for anyone...that just continues this process for even longer than necessary...He could petition family court and have hearing within months...instead he petitions for an appeal which tends to take years...

The bad thing is -- all ya'll are reading is that I'm not gung ho "go daddy" with this guy...I'm fully supportive of 2 parent families and 50/50 time...I just think there is a better, more efficient, and possibly easier way to get to that resolution...
