In most divorced situations (certainly not all) you are going to have one not so smart parent! ;)
---------------Amen to that!!
Seriously, I doubt JL is going to say, Son, I bought you from your dad. And I doubt the ex is going to say, Son, I sold you to your mom. That's just silly.

This time? He chose to sell his son. Nice.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oh I agree, he sucks- but he only chose to sell his son because he was offered the choice by his son's mother. Two wrongs surely don't make a right, and that definitely is upheld in this scenario as well in most life situations.

Actually, this is soemthing I agree with her on 100%. Her ex is a loser. In 10 years when something goes wrong with her son, she now has no requirement to let him into the decision process. She is in control, even if he decides he wants to be an a$$.
In most cases I wouldn't agree. In hers I do.

Or more than likely, as in this case, one not so smart, and one vindictive. NOT a good combination.

Her ex is a loser. If she thought he didn't deserve joint then she should have sought a modification of custody and visitation. I think it was a very cowardly way of getting what she wanted. Even so I think it sucks even more that the courts would allow such an exchange.

No, but I see it going something like this when her son gets older and wants to hang out with his dad, and he will.
"you see Jr. your dad didn't even love you enough to fight for 50% custody, he reliquished his custodial rights. But Mommy would never do that, I love you soooooo much!"
Sick Sick Sick Sick
And if I'm wrong, I would like JL to answer this queston...
What on earth did CS have to do with custody?????????

Of course not everyone is going to agree with my decision - you don't have to. It's not your X, it's not your child, it's not your life.
Am I a coward? I'm anything but a coward. Do I think I'll regret this in 10 years? Nope. I'm damn proud of myself, and no one can take that away from me.
Sure, I have sole now on paper, he has EOW - this is the SAME that we PRACTICE now. I legalized it. I used the CS situation to be able to do so - he got some of what he wanted, I got some of what I wanted.
Is my son a pawn? Hell no. Anyone can think or say what they wished - but at the end of the day? I have absolutely NO regrets and I did what was best for MY son, and it's a shame some people I would have thought would have respected that, don't.
Again, I'm proud of my decision. I forced XH into nothing. He agreed to the terms. I asked him for his input, he had none. I've negotiated, he's a big boy - he didn't have to sign anything he didn't want to. The judge? If HE had a problem with it, nor would he would have signed.
And so, here it is, at the end of the day - it's over. I'm happy. And my son is happy. And X SHOULD be happy. And that's all that matters - what I did WAS right for MY SON.

It was a very cost effective way of getting it. Had she sought the modification there would have been lawyers, experts, evidentiary hearings, and a bunch of wasted time.
This way she got the modification w/o a fight AND her ex got a break on arrears.

Why would she seek a modification if she can get him to agree? Good Lord. She ended up getting what she believes is in the best interests of her son: sole decision making power.
