    I'll be praying for ya man. Just keep that positive attitude, and keep fighting. I'm way to young to understand what you're experiencing, so I can't offer any help. But, if you need someone extra to shoot the breeze with or talk to, ya can pm me.

    Women don't always get full custody, those days are passed in the courts. I have had full custody of my boy for nearly 12 years now. My wife and her ex have joint custody and have nearly a 50/50 split in time. Get a good attorney for the best advice for your situation and good luck man. I hope it works out best for the kids, you both should keep their best interests in mind.

    Well thank you guys honestly i appreciate it a ton. this is overwhelming to say the least. $1500 just to start a custody order, then tack on a lawyer retainer an payin em by the hour. This is gonna be some bad news on the pocket book for a while but i know that its worth it.

    Once again thank you guys, im needin all the prayers i can get.

    Totally worth it brother. Good luck and hope everything works out for you guys. Try looking around on youtube and google "tips for men for custody" I watched a couple good videos to help men get custody. But you gonna have to be ruthless and fight fire with fire

    The best advice I can give you in custody battles. Document absolutely everything! Down to the day and time. If you have text messages...keep them all! My daughter's dad is a piece of work. He only wanted her when his mother came to town and when he wanted to get back at me for something. He would send me nasty text messages, swearing at me and calling me every name in the book. I had to do a lot of work, but it was so worth it. He buried himself slowly but surely. It is tough...but hang in there!

    My husband is a lawyer and he has some advice for you.

    First of all, hire a lawyer who specializes in Family Law. The steps the judge has to go through to determine custody are very complicated. You want a lawyer who knows them as well as the judge.

    Also, tell your lawyer EVERYTHING, even if you think it hurts your case. You don't want your lawyer to go into the hearing with a good argument only to get shot with something the other side knows and you could have told him. If there's something negative, give him the chance to explain it.

    And, let your lawyer do the talking. Keep your cool and don't say anything until you're asked to testify.
