I got divorced when my daughter was 2yrs old she 5 now going on 6. I didn't want to be a weekend daddy. So I paid a lawyer 5k(plus alot more cause some other shyt) to handle my custody I have 50/50 everything. By my daughter not being in school at the time I was able to equal amount of time. Also as of last month my lawyer got me off child support because my daughter is with me equal amount of time and I have shared custody. The schedule is tough on me at times but it's beyond worth it, so I can be there consistently through these early years. Which they say are the most important.

99% of men not built like you. They won’t even fight for shared custody because truthfully they don’t want to be tied down by their kids.

So they rather just get their kid 1-2x a month or a few weeks a year, and complain about the child support they have to pay.

Key thing I got out of OP story

dad doesn’t have a great job

And u add in 3 kids and the divorce on top of that..

It’s going to be hard

he first off need to see if he in danger of losing anything in the divorce and secondly try to get him a better job , because u know how the courts go, when she brings up he doesn’t have many and blah blah

Y'all say this but yall act like the laws isnt set up for men to only be weekend Dads.
It's not breh, you only think it is because most men don't fight and alot of guys highkey don't even want to be anything but weekend dads. Courts actually want the father to be there as much as possible. Unless you're unfit, you will be able to get equal custody if that's what you want.

I have joint custody and my ex wife went up there talking big sh1t about me with a lawyer.

Stay out of court then.

My cousin is going through a divorce right now and they both got a free consultation from a divorce lawyer and they even said it's not worth taking it to court and they have two kids


Only if the mother agrees. Just do the summer dad thing if possible when I had a kid the mom didnt even want me having her during the summer So she made a false abuse claim.

Also you can’t coparent with one is the custodial parent since they have all the power.

Not all parties operate with logic and reason.
I would never stop fighting for custody or at least 50/50 custody of my child.

No excuse so that type of behavior I don't care how bad the baby mother is

Would you fall back if it was killing you?

This and a lot of men have been feed the BS that you can't win in court and the judge is always gonna rule in favor of the ex. So many men are like why try when they gonna kick me in the ass anyway.

When actually if they get the right lawyers...document everything they can get joint custody (or in rare occasions full custody).

Finally we can't talk about this situation without admitting how society drives some of this. Society says any divorce its the husbands fault and that he should be ruined finacially, whipped in public and the kids should blame him for the family falling apart.

Society also says in the dating world that a man should accept a women with kids living with her from a previous relationship/divorce. But a woman shouldn't put up with the baggage of a man with kids living with him from a previous relationship/divorce.

No one mentions how difficult the dating game is for men who have sole or shared custody of their kids.

A lot of times women (even if they have kids) don't even want to deal with a man who is a single dad who has custody of his kids. Not the same as a dude who has kids that live with his ex (women overall don't really have as much of an issue with that).

Show me the data. I personally know dudes who fought for the kids. Again, show me the data where the men were rewarded the children.
