Leandra: Custody is not automatic. The judge decides based on best interests of the children.

Does anyone know if a father in the state of Maryland can just automatically get custody because the mother hasn’t seen them for a long time? Even if the father will not let the mother see them?

Kim: I appreciate your kind words about my article, but I welcome robust discussions on my blog. After all, these are highly charged emotional issues with the highest of stakes, namely the children.

I find it disgusting that this article is intended to be a healthy, informational, support tool for mothers and the majority of the comments come from bitter dads and their “new” wives. You have your forums, please don’t be so angry and hateful for whatever your personal situations have brought about, that you interfere with the positivity of this article. Disagree elsewhere, mothers and fathers are humans and each capable of good and bad behavior.

The law makes it very difficult for father’s to get full custody, I know this first hand. I am a single Dad (yes I have full custody) with 3 kids. The divorce was hard on them but they are so much better off now. I got a lot of information and advice for divorce from http://www.dadsdivorce.com. It helped me get through the process.

I have never been married but some men use the theory that women keep the kids from them as their own tactic. I was in a abusive relationship for three years and I have a beautiful two year old from that situation. Her father is content that if we go to court he will tell the judge that I kept her from him. I will not argue because for a few days I did but only after he gave me a black eye infront of her that I had to go to the ER for. I dont let that play a factor in him seeing her now. Even now he can still be hot tempered and nasty, and regardless of what he does not do I still allow him to get her where are my rights ? why do I have to share custody with some one playing dady part time ?

Amen! to a law protecting the inocent children. I also am a step-parent of 2. We have physical custody. She had visitation set up for every other weekend, before and after school, only cuz she drove by house on her way to work. Only took advantage when my car was in driveway. Than we moved same town different location. Every other weekend continued when it was convienant for her. Never been invovled with kids school, couldnt even show up for Mother’s Day tea or Kindergarten grad. Now we have moved to another state due to military orders. Offered her 60 days in summer, instead of 30. Which the last 30 she had son had to do some summer school, but daugter was available for, she made comment i dont want daughter without son. settled for both for just 2 weeks. we also offered longer holiday visits.
I quess this isnt good enough for her, has continued to harass, threaten, and anything else that is ugly. I cant tell you how many times social services has knocked on my door, only to be “unfounded”. Kids are seeing therapist to deal with the whole situation. Did i mentioned that she was a stay at home mom while her kids attended day care, and she has other children that she has seen in 7 yrs. I can see the uncertainity in the children when they have to go visit her. They are excited to go, only to see cousin and aunt who takes care of them. cuz mom is too tired from driving and the fact she is trying to get pregnant again.

I know for a fact women do use their children against men. I am married to a man who has an ex-wife who is CONSTANTLY using his daughter to exact her revenge. She is re-married, too. And both her and her new hubby have caused considerable trouble regarding my husband’s seven year old daughter. She is a horrible mother who is also an emotional wreck as the numerous phone messages and ugly e-mails my husband has to endure. My husband has sole legal custody of his child, they share physical… and she does everything she can to railroad him by scheduling doctor’s appointments for non-emergency situations that are the sole responsibility of the legal custody parent.

She constantly tries to make DEMANDS as to what, where and how things will shake out. Yet she hates the fact that he’s re-married. She tells his daughter all the time she hates both me and her father. Nice huh?

It’s really pathetic how people use their children to exact their revenge and anger on the other person. There should be more laws to protect children against this kind of maliciousness… on both sides.
