I go to court next Friday to get a "temporary parenting plan" put in place to give me legal "custodial parent" status of my daughter until the official court date late next spring.

As a Dad who had custody of my son from 18 months old let me tell you that whatever is temporary becomes permanent. Plus, don't hold your breath getting child support. My ex refused to pay and while Dad's were being carted off to jail for owing a few months my ex was forgiven years of back support with no reason what-so-ever.

At leat everything else was 50/50.She got the assets and I got the debt. I still can't for the life of me understand why she refused to give me the crib.

Yeah, that's why I'm going for temporary now. BTW, my teenaged daughter is far closer to her step mom than she has ever been to her real mom. It's been that way pretty much since they first met, years ago.

I've been in and out of court since the beginning and we're hoping it's about done.

They never give up the crib.
