"Your joking right? What does cheating have to do with custody under nofault divorce laws? "

I never joke. ;)

I have no idea what cheating does in terms of custody. I do know that men have a very difficult time getting custody of kids. I haven't experienced divorce first hand or via my parents so i dunno. I think it's pretty clear that if he's abusive or shooting H that he wouldn't have equal custody.

"
I think that if I worked full time and hubby worked full time and Daddy left and I was not able to get a part time job I would stay home with the children. The kids would be on tenterhooks as it is and need the extra guidance.""

Sure I would agree with that scenario, but this article couldn't be any farther from that scenario.

But that was the gist of the article.

Not much.

Depending on which county & which judge, a man getting custody in Wisconsin is not difficult at all. Shared parenting was something promoted by some feminists for more than a decade.

Joint placement is not an uncommon stipulation in the state. A lot of times, the truth on the ground is a bit different & what begins as split results with something more like, school days with one parent, weekends with the other & time "made up" during holidays Sometimes there is just a complete switch, because as children get older, their needs change. Kids in a constant battle with a parent or step parent just stop doing the weekly switch. The reason the paperwork on it doesn't change, is because neither parent sees any reason to rock the boat by getting the placement order amended with the court.

After no fault, an attempt to interject abuse can work against you. If there is no finding of criminal abuse prior to the filing of the divorce, you're stupid to even mention it. If the judge believes you, (s)he knows that your odds of hooking up with another abuser are high & it would raise the possibility of the new partner physically abusing the children, instead of just their parent.
