tired,
I am not going to condemn you for wanting to raise your daughter. There should be a tremendous bond between father and child.

What I am going to comment on is you appear to be very angry. Your first few posts said that the mother is a good woman, when you didn't get the responses you wanted she became a b!tch and she browbeat you and screamed at the child. This is the fuel that posters you don't agree with use to fuel their opinions. Your demeanor has deteriorated to name calling and acusing everyone who disagrees with you of pretty much being out to get men. This is not true in most cases. My husband has primary of his two. I think fathers should have the right of knowing thier children on more than a visitation level. I really do not like my ex, but I do not interfere with the relationship between ex and son. It is not in Son's best intrests. This is the line of thinking you need to take if you want to be taken seriously infront of a judge. I suggest you go to see a therapist to get your anger in check before you make any changes toward divorce. The process is long and hard.... if you blow up at annoyamous posters how are you going to react when some GAL or custody evaluator says something you don't agree with? If you loose control in that situation you can blow any chance at primary custody.
