Hi, I am writing because I was wondering about the chances of getting legal custody of my 8 year old daughter. Her mother and I were divorced 3 years ago with no legal custody decided. A year later, her mother moved to California (we live/and were divorced in Louisiana).
My daughter continues to live with me and attend school in louisiana. Her mother visits now and again, and my daughter has spent the last two summers in california. Legally, there still is no custody agreement, and I have not "rocked the boat" because I know that the father rarely gets legal custody and I do not want her mother to take her to california as retribution for me filing for custody.
I currently get no financial support from her mother, and for two of the three previous years her mother went ahead and claimed our daughter on her taxes (causing my tax returns to be rejected, and me having to not claim the daughter).
Given how father's are treated in the courts, should i just not bother and let things continue (and file my taxes in the beginning of January :smirk:)
Thank you for your advice

Read the ENTIRE Men's Rights forum ignoring the gibberish from the femin azis. Be sure to read all the links referenced where ever you may find them.
Once you have done that, go for custody, but with the option that it is 50-50 (it can be done long distance and if you read diligently as stated above, you will see how).
Good luck.

I would think that being that she lives with you already and has been for quite some time and also has been attending school there that the judge would award you custody. I'm not exactly sure, but i would seek the advice of an attorney.

Just what good did your stupid post do?
You stipulated that you don't know, that you think and then, told the guy to go see an attorney.
Do you really think that he did not think about seeing an attorney?
You are just another troll that speaks nothing out of both ends.

I would file a motion with your county family court for Allocation of parental responsiblities You could say something along the lines of for the purpose of school the primary residence of the child will be the father. I would ask for sole descion making power in education and medical. Also include something along the lines of both parties agree to prepare approproate IRS forms for the dependent deduction if the respondent is current on all child support the dependency exception shall be as follows:
Father shall be entitled to claim dependent child every year. You could play with the wording however there should be a statute in LA that deals with tax deduction I would start researching it now to get the law correct
I also found this website it is for LA fathers
http://www.ladads.info/
They seem to have a lot of great info. Sometimes there are free legal clinics to help with the filing of court documents.
FILE A MOTION and get a CO. You deserve it.
Best of luck!

Good post, but based upon his question, I don't think he knows what you know. That is why we still suggest knowing the Men's Rights forum and all the links inside and out so that he can approach the court or a potential attorney with knowledge.
What he wants to do is rock the boat. Not many women take too kindly to this and it will behoove him to know what he is up against.

I agree with you 100% There is so much awesome advise in this forum.
ROCK THE BOAT. Could not agree more. I have learned in dealing with my H's ex that I wish we would have rocked the boat harder!
Utilize the advise and the information provided to you in the Mens Rights forum.
Best of luck!
