Has anyone been successful in custody battles?
I think the only way a custody battle can be called successful is if the end result is actually what is best for the child. In our case we were mostly successful. My husband now has his son 50% of the time, and his ex-wife has him the other 50% of the time. This means that both parents are just as involved in his life and split time with him equally – including holidays. And that’s how it should be. The only thing that I don’t feel turned out “successful” is that even though we have my stepson 50% of the time, my husband is still paying child support as if he has him only on weekends. So she gets $300.00 a month in child support as if she has him 100% of the time when in fact she only has him 50% of the time. I have no problem with my husband supporting his son, but to me that seems like double dipping.
