Congratulations Dad, for a job well done. Let’s look at the celebrity case of Ludacris and Ms. Fulller. Ms. Fuller was the primary parent of the parties’ minor child, but she wanted to minimize Father’s presence even further.
Enter – bad behavior. Ms. Fuller mad false reports of child abuse against Father. Father was livid, I’m sure. However, he listened to the advice of his attorney and he stayed the course. Over time, the court saw Ms. Fuller’s allegations as misguided attempts to tarry favor with the court.
Since her initial allegations, the court has changed its ruling, allowing Ludacris to be the child’s primary parent. The court also gave him sole legal decision-making (custody), which allows him to make all of the major decisions for the child.
So to recap, Father received an unfavorable ruling, he maintained his best behavior while Mother misbehaved (despite extreme desires to misbehave, I’m sure), and he was rewarded with the bulk of the parenting time and legal decision-making for his daughter.
Way to go, Dad!
