Dr. Phil show is looking for a parent who had their child taken

The Dr. Phil show is looking for a parent who had their child taken
away by an ex-spouse or a family member. Did you struggle in a court
battle that ended with you losing your children? Do you want to ask
your ex-spouse to let you have visitation with your children? Has
your ex-spouse moved out of state and you are no longer able to see
your kids? If you want to get your kids back from a family member or
ex-spouse, you want some help from Dr. Phil and YOU ARE WILLING TO
APPEAR ON THE SHOW, email us your story.

[We encourage you to send them your story.  Obviously, very few will
make it on the show.  But the VOLUME of responses will hopefully
encourage them to pay more attention to the topic in the future -

Thanks for the heads-up, Hawkeye.

>Thanks for the heads-up, Hawkeye.

You're more than welcome... I hope one or more of us can get on one or more of these shows and try to explain the FACTS publicly and start naming names of judges and attorneys.

Considering the divorce rate is about 50%, the producers/advertisers of these shows are missing HALF of their potential audience.

Maybe then, they'll get a clue that we are not backing down from their ignorant positions that do not care about children, but only $$$.

Did you know BF and I were on the custody battles show in Sept.?  That is when he was fighting to keep them here.  She won her case and got permission to move the kids 3000 miles away soley on the fact that she had been a stay at home mom therefore making her the primary caretaker.  I advise all men that plan to marry to make sure the wife holds a job throughout the marriage.  Sad, but true.  It is best for small children to have mom at home, but if a divorce happens...the Dad is screwed.  Makes me sick.

I have learned enough from my past experience taht when I marry again I will have a prenup agreement between the wifey and me that in the case of divorce the kids will NOT be caught in the middle by the courts. I know a prenup is not all that romantic and all that, but any woman that wants to marry me is gonna need one....for BOTH our protection and our childrens. Maybe I'll get me one of those mail order brides huh? They way they mess up I can return them and get mymoney back..haha.

Ladies, I mean absolutely no offense. I must admit despite my often
traumatic relationship with the fairer sex I am still a sucker for you all. hehe

Sincerely,
Chris

LOL C,
when my dh and I married we have NO joint accounts, NO co mingling of money, I own my stuff he owns his. He wanted to protect me from the lovely ex he has and I am thankful we are doing this as I have a child of my own to protect.

**These are my opinions, they are not legal advice**

Us too...everything is separate.....for the same reasons.

You can do a prenup for more then money though...like child custody and such. I had wanted to put something in there that if there were divorce that a 50-50 custody deal would be agreed upon by both parties and if one parent moveed over 50 miles away then they forfit the 50-50 custody in favor of some other parenting time arrangement. I guess what I was getting at was more to a prenup for the kids. I couldn't really care less about the money. But thats jsut me, and thats why I am stuck in teh situation I am now..lol

............pre-nups are like joint legal custody agreements.....they aren't worth the paper they're printed on.  And no self-respecting atty. would include anything to do with child custody or support.  Money is one thing, a human being is another entity entirely.  I have yet to see a pre-nup that held it's own IN ENTIRETY in court.  A good 'shyster' atty. can blow holes thru 'em.
