Are there any Dad's on here that have full custody of your children?

I'm curious what the story is with your BM's. What did they do to get custody taken away from them? (Since typically custody goes to the BM)

My DH got sole custody in Jan 2012. SD11 Had supervised visits with BM, until last month when BM assaulted the supervisor.

Long story short on how BM lost custody: BM was arrested several times. BM assaulted her parents and then her boyfriend and went to jail again. BM is mentally unstable with documented personality disorders. BM went to jail in Jan 2012 and DH jumped on it. Got Emergency custody and BM only showed up to one court date. DH was awarded sole custody and got his final papers signed Feb 2012.

I regret it Sad

So the consists here is the BM doing drugs or being crazy. Our BM is definitely crazy but she hasn't had to have an evaluation so nothing is on paper just her actions. But so far it doesn't sound like the BM's in these cases were putting the kids around child molesters and rapists but were a danger to themselves and the kids.

Well our BM was living with a cousin. The cousin is married to a registered sex offender and they had another reg offender living there also.,

Basically cousin and BM punched SD b/c SD was throwing rocks at the house. The school saw the bruising and bad make up job. First SS and SD said it was from bike wreck but eventually they confessed BM and cousin did it. CPS then called BM at number she gave school and left VM. BM called back and the number of the 1st sex offendered popped up on called ID and that is how that happened.

She still thinks DSO called CPS and can't get thru her head that her own actions and stupidity caused it.

DSO got full custody 3 years ago. They were taken from BM for abuse and neglect. She had a year to get a job, place to live and she didn't, Judge didn't cut her any slack. They were even going to take her rights away but DSO told them no b/c of SS13 behavior issues.

DH has had custody since the split. BM took off, and agreed that DH keep the girls until the end of the school year then she would get custody providing she 1) had a stable job 2) had her own place and 3) could show proof that she could support the girls. Well the girls went with her that year, and DH had them for Father's Day of that year then they went back to BMs. BM calls DH a day later stating "come get them I can't keep them they are too expensive" DH called his atty, who had papers drawn up reverting ALL custody back to him. Since that time BM has taken us to court (starting 2 years ago) trying to get custody. Judge looked at her history (not calling not taking visitation ect) gave DH sole custody. After continuing to go to court, BM petitioned for joint custody, but refuses to sign any paperwork at all. She keeps pushing for custody, but won't follow court orders.

My DH has primary physical custody of SS13. BM left them when SS was 5 because she wanted to drink, do drugs and be a lesbian. She went into hiding for about 7 years and would pop in here and there. DH didn't know where she was to divorce her and was always afraid that she'd get custody because he heard all the horror stories from his friends.

When I came into the picture, it was clear that there was no court order in place so I assisted DH with filing for divorce and getting custody. BM didn't fight for custody - all she wanted was Sat at 7 until sunday at 11 every other weekend. DH actually pushed for her to take her son more than that but she had to provide her actual address and not smoke pot while he was in her care. He also split legal custody with her.

She pays no child support. And DH has a RO against her.

We may take her back to court and try to take some of her time away, but DH enjoys having the break from SS since he's done it all on his own for so long.

My dh has had full custody since ss was 1. He's 15 now. Turned out horribly for us though. Bm willingly gave up custody as long as she got the crap hose with a 2nd mortgage they lived in because a boy needed to be with his dad after all. She did have eowe visitation- ss always felt he should be with her- his 3 siblings here lived with their mom (me)- his two siblings at BMs lived with her. Why didn't he? I think he pas'ed himself against me and dh. I know that sounds funny- but he sooo badly wanted to live with her that he would constantly make up stories about how we mistreated him. Just last year he told me he knew I had never done anything to him, but he had made up so many stories he just FELT they were true.

Ss ended up moving with bm at almost 10 due to dh's deployment and subsequent injury. She kicked him out at 13. He lived with us for a few months but still hated us. He now lives with my Inlaws although dh technically retains full custody.

My cousin does. BM had munchausen by proxy. She made the kids sick and hurt them for attention. Truly a sick woman. My cousin worked a lot because she refused to while they were married. Final straw came when she held her 2 year old daughters hand to a stove. At the hospital, (they knew her well) called the cops and CPS. All in took in court was a line of doctors willing to admit that 3 otherwise healthy children had medical charts 4-6 folders thick. Done deal. She has never tried to see them since. Now that 2 year old is 9. He has a 11 year old and 13 year old. He never dated or remarried. He struggles but those kids are his life. He's a great Dad.
