Yes, but according to the story, she came back after 2 months of separation, and he started the divorce work. I don’t know, maybe he could have taken her back then, at least for the girl’s sake. I’d do everything I could, in order to keep my kids, although I realize some people are VERY difficult to live with.
I tried that, too. It's really only re-loading the gun, and giving her more chances to slime you.
At least if you do it early on, you can get visitation.
