My mistake but either one is a far cry from outrageous and out of the question ... wouldn't you agree?
Its certainly a far cry from outrageous. However, that doesn't mean that its guaranteed that you will get it.
Dad, I am actually trying to be fair to you as much as possible, and to give you as much constructive advice as possible, but SERIOUSLY...I think that if you would go back and re-read the things you have written in both of your threads, with an objective eye, that you would realize that you come across VERY poorly, and believe me it will not hold you in good stead in the future.
Every time that someone here tries to tell you that you are coming across poorly, you get even worse.
We can often tell who is going to get themselves in trouble and who is not, simply by the way that they express themselves. I have seen people who come across as you do barely end up with the minimum, and I have seen people with a more humble attitude, who get much more than anyone ever expected.
One of the people posting on this thread is a guardian ad litem. She is an attorney who is specifically trained to objectively evaluate custody situations and make recommendations to judges. She is also giving you just as hard a time as everyone else here...and she and I very often disagree on family law matters.
Maybe its not possible for you to lose the arrogance. Maybe that is part of your makeup that you cannot lose. If that is the case however, I am sad for you and sad for your child. Her best hope of living a happy children is if you and mom BOTH learn to leave your egos at the door.
