Finally got 50/50 custody and it feels amazing

After 18 months of legal battles and thousands in fees, the judge awarded me equal custody. I fought hard because I wanted to be in my kids' lives, not just a weekend dad. The hardest part was staying calm during the process and not badmouthing their mom, even when I was furious. Just wanted to say if you're in the fight, it's worth it. Hang in there.
