Its not 8 or 800, it was just called unusual, and in your case, you did the right thing, and it seems the usual thing happened, and you are now the CP. I did not get the idea that a 100% label was being thrown out, just that it was unusual, and since that seems to be the case, I would wonder as well. Its good it worked out for you and the right thing happened, just a shame it cost so much for the best thing to happen, but it was worth it.

I *still* have discussions with SO about what happened in our divorce. I even have the transcript from the 2 day trial (cost me $600 to obtain...) and I have every page of BS marked for the appeal. I have asked SO to take time and just READ it so he knows what happene and that I am not hiding drug abuse/child abuse/prostitution skeletons in my closet. He won't read it.
Sucks eggs.
In this area, though, if you are a NCM, its because you are a "total loser" essentially.
So, I'm going into a custody modification trial with my ex. I shouldn't be concerned at.all. but since I have witnessed and experienceda miscarriage of justice first hand, I am expecting the worst now.

I wouldn't - I don't offer invitations or gifts with strings attached. If I have to control it or put conditions on it - I don't offer it. Otherwise I'm setting myself up for disappointment and/or drama - no thanks. But that's me.

Okay, so you DO agree with 1004 that a ncm is usually a red flag in your area? It is in my area, and I frankly don't care who this offends on this board, unless you live in MY area AND have been screwed over by the system. Yes, there are a few ncms who are "okay" I'm sure, but the norm is that they're not. Case in point - my kids' sm. Does not have custody of any of her kids. Does not keep in contact with any of her kids. Does not pay cs for any of her kids. Will be arrested if she sets foot in her kids' homestate for drug charges. Is constantly "clean and sober for 2 months". Has several dui's, won't hold a job to save her life (due to a "back injury" from a "severe car accident"...she settled for $1,000 for this lifetime crippling disability...insert *eyeroll*) and is just overall a manipulative backstabbing biotch who is better off not being around her kids... or MINE.

But why would you put up with him trying to imply that you are a bad mother and then not even bothering to read the transcript, because he may be proven wrong? That would push me over the edge with this guy.

No, I don't agree with it. That's why I put it in quotes. Sorry, I should have re-worded. Most people believe that if you are NCM, you are a "total loser".

I completely disagree - my mom was a NCP and is undeserving of such blanket judgment. It is ignorant for you to make the universal claim that NCMs have something wrong with them - your area specifically or not.

In my area it'd be looked down upon to, but until i saw my sister and her ex go through their divorce, my judgement of NCM's was probably more harsh than it should've been. My sister, by choice is the NCM although they share 50/50 custody and have joint legal and physical, she basically agreed to it, with many stipulations including where her daughter will attend school, to opt out of a custody dispute that was really unnecessary.
