Your case sounds fishy..That said..The only way a husband gets custudy is for the wife to really screw up..( Mine did and now she regrets that she wasn't smart enough to screw me over. ) I won custudy and CS.. But in the childrens best interest I gave her split custudy of my 8 year old daughter,while keeping custudy of my 16 year old son. My step-daughter ( Her daughter,21 ) still lives with me,her choice. I gave up the CS. My deal was I went to court clean as the better parent,So I got to call the shots. The Judge commended me on having the childrens interests come ahead of any monetary things. So far it has worked out well ..My ex is now happy with the situation.We both support our children as equal as possible and no one got screwed by having to pay years of CS. That said, Do what is best for YOUR CHILDREN. ......................Rock

Rock - Imagine that ... Not only were you one of those rare (<10%) of men who actually got custody of your children, but you also set aside the issue of CS in favor of doing what truly IS "in the best interest of the child(ren)." So many times all I read/hear is from ex-wives who have custody and whine that their ex-husband doesn't pay child support. Your commendation will come in the form of a watching your children blossom into remarkable adults.

Rock,
If you felt that you were the better parent and proved that in court, why did you then split custody?

>>>>>>>>>>>> Almost 17% of custodial parents are fathers
but you also set aside the issue of CS in favor of doing what truly IS "in the best interest of the child(ren).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Less than 40% of custodial fathers have CS awarded .

>>>>>>>>>>> I can guess , it's not always about " control " but what he thought was best . I did the same thing with the second ex but she still gets CS even though he's with me more often .
