I finally am the residential parent in a shared parenting arrangement with my daughter! I am pretty happy, finally get to have a say in how my daughter is raised and what she gets to do. I have a great lawyer that never let me lose hope and always kept the fight going for me. I have Rick Burdine to thank for recommending him to me. I couldn't have done it without my wife by my side as well helping me to keep my hope alive and keep fighting.
I'm posting this for all the dads out there like me, that got shafted by the court system and treated like a second class parent instead of equal to the mother. In this day and age, there is no excuse for one parent having the children more than the other as long as both are devoted to spending time with them and being a good parent. There is also no reason to guise alimony as child support. If a father is active and is a good parent he should have equal time and use his money to do what's best for them, as well the mother should provide for her children in same. I believe all divorces between two devoted parents should have shared parenting, and no money other than splitting costs down the middle. Just my opinion, but this is the age of equality, so men have just as much right to being a parent on an equal playing field. Not every situation was like mine, but so many out there are. To all the guys that were in my situation, I say keep your chin up and keep fighting. It's worth more than anything else in the world to be in your child's life while they are young and need you so much. It's the reason I sold my truck, my enclosed trailer, and most of my race parts. All of it went into my legal fund to get where I am today. It was worth it. My little girl will be well taken care of and I have the ability to see to it that her best interests are served. I also get to determine what school district she is in and what school she attends. There's more, but that's the jist of it.
So all you guys out there that want more time with your kids and more say in their upbringing, then keep fighting. Keep trying. It's worth it!
