Peace.

I'm glad you got your son in your situation and thanks for the words on encouragement.
My focus first is to get a strong presents in my daughters life, because though from what things seem on the surface she is in fairly good hands but the act of trying to keep a child from their parent is harmful enough.

My goal is to start out with joint-custody inorder to bridge the gap between me and my daughter. She knows who I am as I know who she is but I want her to KNOW me as I want to KNOW her. More than "That's my daddy" but "That's my daddy who likes books and reads to me all the time and helps me with my homeword and takes me to many place that and the person that I love"

I know there is a long fight ahead (and it has always been so) been its a fight worth fighting for.

Comment by istlota on October 21, 2009 at 5:39pm: I and my son were extremely fortunate in that his mother did not fight my getting custody when we got divorced. She wanted no part of being a mama anymore which, at the time, I thought was a tragedy. I now see that it was the best thing that could have happened. I shudder to think of how my son might have turned out if she had been around all his life with her habit of abusing substances and her being such an incredibly self-absorbed ..... well, let me stop and move on.

I feel for so many men like yourself who want custody only to find out that the courts are just not really on your side in these sorts of matters. Sounds like you have a good handle on what you need to do. Definitely, get a lawyer involved in you don't already. And, keep in mind, she may watch your videos so put a _lot_ of thought into not saying anything her lawyer might use to torpedo your chances of gaining custody.

To be honest, and I hate saying this but it is true, you are unlikely to get full custody unless your ex is into so harmful things which you haven't mentioned [and probably shoud not mention on YouTube]. Judges put a lot of weight into who the child has spent most time with up to now and that will really hurt your chances for full custody.

But, joint custody is definitely possible. So, good luck.
