Got custody of my kids after 3 years of fighting

6h ago1 min read

I'm still in shock honestly. Been the non custodial parent since the divorce and it was rough. I fought hard through the court system, documented everything, got a good lawyer, and proved I was the more stable parent. My ex had some issues with substance and just couldn't get it together. The kids are finally with me full time now and I won't lie, it's overwhelming. But seeing them every morning and handling their lives instead of just visiting is amazing. To any dads out there thinking about pursuing custody: it's possible, it's worth it, and don't give up.

This is awesome to hear. The documentation and persistence pay off. Now the real adventure starts, but you've already proven you're all in for your kids.

Dude, I'm dealing with the co-parenting thing too and I know how draining that battle is. You should feel proud of yourself for sticking it out. Welcome to the everyday dad life, it's exhausting but so worth it.

Three years of fighting for this moment. That's incredible, man. I can only imagine the relief and joy right now. How are the kids handling the transition?

This is huge. Must feel surreal right now but you earned this. How are you planning to settle into the new routine with the kids?

Congrats on winning that battle. Takes a lot of strength and determination to go through something like that. Your kids are lucky to have a dad who fought so hard for them.
