Human behaviour

I don't get human behaviour sometimes. My brother's ex is putting him through hell right now, denying him access to his 5 year son. She's accusing him of beating her, is threatening to tell the little boy about it, and in general loses it in front of Rudy quite regularly. God knows what lies she's telling him about his father. I don't care how much she may hate Paul---doesn't she realize how much she's hurting Rudy, her own son? Rudy loves his dad. They have a great time together. And now all of a sudden dad isn't there. He doesn't know why. All he knows is that dad has stopped coming around.
Paul has finally got the lawyers involved. The laws in custody disputes still favour the mother in Canada. Supposedly they are more nurturing. So Paul has an uphill battle on his hands. But the cops seem to be in his corner. And the judge seems fair. But until a ruling is handed down, it could really go either way. Something needs to happen to our laws. It's not right to just assume the mother is always the more appropriate parent for a child to live with. Each case needs to be looked at on an individual basis. Hopefully in this case, that happens.

Kathy, I have been in and out of the family court for 15yrs my twin boys whole life, and its till not over yet. One word of advice i will give him. When he does speak in court concentrate only on his son. Its hard to do when you are upset but its the best thing to do. She is of no importance to him what so ever , its the son and his relationship with him that needs all the attention.

P.S. Kathy tell him to get a voice activated tape recorder and keep it in his pocket when ever he picks up the child with her around. That is the evidence that i used to prove my childrens mothers behavior. Some people think its against the law to tape people, but that is not the case, as long as you are in the conversation you can tape anytime anywhere without the other person knowing, and you can use it in court, I did it

Hey Blake, Sorry for taking so long to respond. Just got home to London. Happy to say things have gotten a lot better for my brother. It's not done yet, but the judge is seeing through the crap my brother's ex is alledging.
I do know about the voice recording from my days as a broadcaster and it is an excellent idea. I will suggest it.
Thanks!
