I support you fully for those who can step up to the plate and work it out. For others, the guidance of a compassionate mediator, coach, therapist, collaborative attorney or other divorce professional is the sane way to go. Whatever works to keep the family in harmony is best for all. Thanks for your suggestions.

I hear your frustration and apologize if you felt victimized by any comments on that call. I agree that many fathers are as nurturing with their children as mothers. In fact, my own former husband was a very nurturing, caring father and I knew it was in everyone's best interst for us to share custody of my son. It worked very effectively. I know Belinda is a big advocate of father's rights and didn't mean to undermine you. I believe she was talking to women, based on years of experience, about many fathers who aren't as comfortable in the nurturer role but who care about their kids and should be given an opportunity to co-parent if at all possible. All the presenters on the call agree that co-parenting is the prefered outcome for many reasons. I can't respond to the details in your particular divorce decisions but I can acknowledge you for taking the high road and putting your son's interest first through this tough ordeal. I know your son will benefit from this and thank you when he is grown for all your sacrifices and maturity. Keep modeling responsible parenting and hopefully your former wife will get the message and give you the respect you deserve. I wish I could offer you more from this distance. I sincerely apprciate your comments and hope you'll tune in again next week for another group of experts discussing <strong>Keys to Making Sound Divorce Decisions. </strong> <em>Divorce can be very costly – both physically and emotionally. Join author and divorced mother of four Christina Rowe, founder of ChildSharing, Michelle Muncy and Divorce Financial Analyst, Lisa Decker as they share insights about pro-actively planning your divorce to avoid the pitfalls of financial and psychological devastation – for you and your children. Learn the success strategies for creating a win-win divorce before signing on the dotted line – and for the months and years that follow. </em> If you want to listen to the previous two calls, both including male experts, I can send you the recording link.

The comment made by the one lady about females being more equipped to nurture children than males was so biased it wasn't even funny. This is the same slant that the courts often use in determining custody. I happen to be a very nurturing father but cannot seem to convince a female judge or my ex's female attorney that my children need to (and should) be with me 50% of the time. It's a lot easier for the person that doesn't feel victimized by the divorce to agree to "let bygones be bygones" because they already have the upper hand in the split up. I have made every decision through this process with my sons' best interest first and all that has gotten me is double child support payments (because I don't have enough 'overnight stays') and 80% of her attorney's fees because (according to the court) I am able to pay them and she is not (?)...
