I would hazard a guess that you were not in the same situation as the St Skittles family.
for THEIR situation..it is odd.
Mom obviously takes the one kid because no one knows who his dad is..but it’s not Tracy.
Tracy’s kid goes with the father.
It doesn’t sound like they got joint custody but even if they did...Dad was the one who raised him.

“During the summer of 2009, his parents — who separated when Martin was 11, but shared custody — enrolled their 14-year-old son in “Experience Aviation,” a nonprofit program in Opa-Locka, Florida, that introduces young people to aviation.”
Hmmm..this doesnt sound right
... and in hindsight, did a fine job.. /s :) BTW, I always try to find a way to insert that I was a special guy, and raised my kids.. Sometimes it is all you've got.. LOL
