I had to battle my ex wife in court because she was keeping my daughter from me. It took me about 2 years. I even had fake domestic violence accusations made against me by my ex wife. I even fired my lawyer about 75% of the way thru the cases because I felt like he was taking too long and was milking me out of my money.
I represented myself in 2 of the court hearings. One was the false domestic violence accusations. My ex wife had a lawyer who's family members were sheriffs and even a judge in that county..
Not only did I win, I crushed them in the court of law. One of the greatest moments in my life was winning the domestic violence case without a lawyer. My ex wife took the stand and I got to question her. I was my own lawyer going against my ex wife and her lawyer. I schooled them in the court of law infront of everyone. It wasn't even close. Judge dismissed it.
My visitations and my gun rights were on the line. From what everyone kept telling me, men don't win those types of cases.
I won everything. I won visitations with my daughter every other weekend. Holidays. Summer vacations. I do have to pay child support which I don't mind. I actually pay extra that I don't even have to pay. My daughter actually likes spending those weekends with me and doesn't want to go back to her other home when the visitation is over.
I don't understand how men can give up on their kids or walk away from them. Even if they lose their rights by losing those court battles. I still wouldn't stop. They would have had to lock me up in prison or kill me to stop me from seeing my daughter.
I have talked to a lot of men who gave up and walked away. I had so many guys tell me that I should do the same or tell me that I was going to lose. They made it seem like I had no chance and that I was going to lose. I heard from so many other guys saying shit like "It was the hardest thing I ever had to do but it was for the best" after they gave up or walked away from their kids...
Walking away or giving up was not an option for me. The only options for me was to win my rights to my daughter or prison/death. That was it. If the court of law failed me I was prepared to take the law into my own hands one way or another...
