All 8 of these points and you manage to miss the main one. When a parent who is not mentally stable and has a history of serious drug abuse and suicide attempts. This proves they are unfit. Placing a child into an unfit parent’s care when they are currently living in an environment that they are thriving in is ridiculous. This guy is 6 years older than me and I was only 18 when I met him after years of manipulation I got out of that with my kids unscathed. Also it’s not the future I’m worried about. If he truly stays clean and turns out to be a great father then he can spent as much time with the kids as he wants. That would be the ideal situation. Who wants fatherless children? But to come straight out of jail and force his way into their lives day one is not okay. Especially if he’s just going to be right back out of their lives in a few years. Now if you can give actual advice on the present times outcome with this joint 50/50 timeshare petition based on the FACTs I stated in the original post and not on your “assumptions” about me that would be actually more helpful.
Also let’s not forget that this petition was in direct response of the child support order I initiated so there is a better chance that he doesn’t really care about spending time with the kids but is trying to avoid the maximum amount.
