Q- If I ask for 50/50 equal custody, I will get it?

A - No! The entire divorce industry is set up to maximize conflict so that they can maximize profits. This video goes into more detail on that topic.

Q - My Ex is lying in court. Can they get away with that?

A- Absolutely, Family courts are courts of equity, meaning that lying is usually rewarded. And yes, your attorney is in on it. 

Q - The other parent is horrible. I have been taking care of the kids all this time. She cheated on me, I have pictures of her taking drugs, she has been diagnosed XXXXXX. Will I get custody? 

A- If you are the man (91-97% of the time), NO! The system is set up on money. It doesn't matter what she does, but if you, the man has so much as a speeding ticket from 1987, you will not get custody. The system is built on money, not logic. 

Q - If I put “Child Support” on the check/Money order and not pay through the state, I'll be fine right?

A- NO…Let me repeat, NO! The state gets their reimbursement and bonus check through the state, which pays judges. They routinely deny payments not paid through the state disbursement agency and all that money will be considered a gift. This video explains in more detail. 

As a counter-point, an article was made saying not to do it…but the reason (and they even admit it in the article when a person doesn't, they run the risk of getting hit with the “gift" argument)to not is by doing so you assume you will get visitation, this does not guarantee it at all.

Q - I don't want to involve the OAG and would rather pay directly? What will happen?

A- The OAG is a business. they will do whatever they need to do to get their Title IV-D funds. This video is an experience.

(update)-against wishes, the OAG signed this person up for services. 

Q - XXX told me that 50/50 is becoming the norm

A- The data shows that the exact opposite is true. This link shows the data breakdown of who gets custody

Q-The other parent is withholding custody, if I file a 25.03 violation, that will get me the children?

A-Although it is a State Jail Felony, 25.03 violations are NOT prosecuted by the DA. The data from this link shows that all over Texas, they simply do not prosecute custody interference violations.
