Realistically men do not stand a chance at custody, statistically speaking. Why, Child Support is not about the child, it is actually big business for states, judges lawyers even the penal system. Every study and statistic shows children are better off with fathers in their life. Truth is the current child support system needs to be abolished. With 50/50 Parenting Time Legislation and that fathers have the same rights and choices as mothers. No parent should have access to the others wealth. If a mother can adopt out if she feels not responsible for raising a child, so to should a man have the same choice if he feels not responsible. Our current criminal bias towards fathers in the family court system needs to end, sadly children are the losers here.
She won’t even let me know his doctor or what school he attends. On top of not letting me pay his healthcare.
Do you have parental rights?
Stay strong brother and keep fighting
I’m in the same situation in Texas,she moved out of tx with out permition of me and court,I’m fighting for tha now
I can’t even see mine. Missed Christmas and birthdays. Y’all gonna live. I’m taking her to court
If the father works full time and mother never worked , doesn’t the father gets preference over custody? I thought that how it worked in the US
No, dude, it’s much more complicated than that. Step 1 is the gender bias against dads by court. Step 2 is that the states make more money from Federal Title 4D funding if the states can get higher child support orders issued. So States, Courts make more money if they make the working dad a non-custodial parent who has to pay 17% of his income in child support. This has been exposed for years now. The corruption goes deep.
Definitely not. They would give the mother full custody and put the father on child support.
😂😂 best advice I’ve been watching videos for shits and giggles but honestly this is the best advice I’ve seen
I agree with the comments here that family court is biased against dads. I lived it. But the overall statistics clearly reveal that, too, so there’s no hiding from it. I only won primary custody because of enormous effort, to force the court to pay attention to the best interests of our child, instead of the best interests of the mother. I advise dads to do the same. You have to overcome the bias, stereotypes, etc
@Matt-je5yr it’s kind of sad, isn’t it…that you get sole custody as the dad, only because the mom chose to quit parenting. Aside from that, enjoy raising your kid. You are her everything now. Big responsibility. Big reward. Hopefully, your kid won’t feel the big blow from mom walking away…that can be hurtful to kids, too, depending on the attachment they had.
Wow, delivery! Huh! What? user’s want more of that! Any Dad’s that are fed up with the lack of options and honesty?
@Matt-je5yr Not my dream, same as any other with that! Happy to hear that possibly an honest Dad got to live thier life with thier child within peace! To many power hungry buisness opporations! So amyway, how do you avoid conflict when you have your wife giving you the stinky eye stare down and her partner in crime saposid mother in law taking giberish when you don’t want that language in your house and your the home owner , legal gaurdian and have been tired of your personal life being infiltrated by other groups belief systems and want them out! And with experience knowing your child can live a life of honesty without other culture’s forcing thier outtdated belief system’s on other’s home just because they con as a group and pretend they keep the peace while using other people’s houses and feeding the needey! Sence the sarcasm
Grow up!
LOL no.
She (married) never came back with 11 month baby from what was supposed to be an 11 day trip to MI in December of 2022 (originally from) from CA (lived in from April 21- December 2022). She convinced me she needed time away to heal and now she’s not giving me a return date. Baby will be a resident of Michigan in a few months. I had a close bond with baby. No official charges or reports but I have a security video of me frighteningly fleeing an apartment from her abuse while she was yelling, two family witnesses from another incident and neighbours that have also heard her while at said apartment. She has been abusive. I can’t but help think the court will give her full custody and won’t be able to see my child.
God help you brother. Fight. Fight until you die for the child!
How did your situation turn out. My son is going through the exact same thing. She left back to MO ( both originally from) after saying she needed time away. Was supposed to return (TX) after 1 month. She met someone new and decided to stay there even though she has no permanent residence and sleeping on couches. She was also abusive to my son
My ex wouldn’t file for year separeted. Due to she know she would have to pay spousal support. Last week I asked her for a copy of my kids birth certificate and sscard, two days later she filed. Should I be concerned. Where can I see the papers she filed?
Why aren’t you telling these people that the courts are biased?
Every attorney across the country knows that the family courts are bias in favor of mothers.
You can collect data from the state title for the agency and the county that it serves. You can request to see the numbers that describe the relationship between the child in the person who is named custodial parent or non-custodial parent. And back in the days non-custodial parent used to mean the absent parent. The data shows the courts have a bias that is 90% or greater in favor of the female. and there is a roundabout way to show that the judge is receiving a benefit. Every time they put a father on child support.
I think you should be honest and tell these people that the judge is probably gonna put the dad on child support and give mom all the power. And no matter what you do and no matter how much money they spend, that’s all they’re going to get.
Deep down, I wish I was raised by a single parent, “ my Dad all the way”.
“File First” — file what exactly first?
File for Divorce First?
File for Custody?
Thanks for the info Adam!
What if my wife leaves and gives me my son? And never checks in on him? And went back to her other baby daddy? And she agrees to give me my son fully ? And got proof and agreement signed
It’s tough as a single dad but there is a way through, I promise. I talk about my own struggles on my channel if you think it’ll help you. Keep your head up and fight. 🤝
I’m in same boat the mother is willing to give custody she has another man we not married please help
This system needs to be brought down. It is pure evil.
An innocent man/good father should have nothing to fear from a court room.

Is sad that you have to do this, technically while you’re in a relationship….. women work like that men really don’t…. men like to hope that you can fix the situation while the whole time women are planning things like this while they’re still in a relationship with you. It’s pretty sad that’s how the system wants you to work but if you’re in a relationship and living with a person, then you wouldn’t really think you would have to fight for 50-50 custody. Normally that would be done when you’re not living with the person. Smh
I need help my son is going through it mom is willing to give him custody can I write an agreement and run it by a notary please help.
I won custody of my 1 yr old daughter who is 5 now. It was brutal. Alot of sleepless nights. Mild heart attacks lol. I put in the footwork, my attorney had to listen to me. I took charge. It is hard. Now im being held in contempt for being a good father. But dont worry pray
My wife took a picture of me napping. Told court I was drunk. I was not. They immediately asked me to leave my house, and have no contact with my 9yo daughter. My wife called the school and removed her from school asking them not to tell me as it was my day to pick her up. If I did this the school would think I was attempting kindnap. Men-stay focused, never give up, and always fight for your kids with love and respect. You’ll win the race in the end!
What about a mother who is manipulative, extremely stubborn and will disregard anything you say and laugh at you, extremely paranoid and left your dad because she feels he didn’t support her even though he tried, and gilt trips you because her broken family? I’m right now in a 50-50 with my mom and dad, me and my sister want 100% with dad but don’t know how to properly go about it because I doubt my mom will agree let alone not guilt trip me, my mom was so terrible that she gilt tripped my 9 yo sister into saying she didn’t love my dad just to make mom love her 💔😞 plz help
