I got custody of my son three months ago. It’s attainable. Fight the good fight, brothers.

It’s great hearing this. Going through it now and my attorney thinks I have a good choice at having custody of my son. My ex isn’t a horrible person. But she’s tryna get me to pay a lot in child support, when I’m present and my child is with me 3 to4 days out the week. Every week. I have a stable job. She doesn’t. I have stable income. Hers varies. I have a stable home for years. She’s moved in with different men 2 different times. My attorney thinks I can get custody of him. And she visits. Ima try it. Pray for me

My husband did everything you listed here…but still lost custody. The mother knew how to manipulate. Even had the child with us 5 days a week until the mother saw the child having a good relationship with us. Then it all went upside down. Child is an adult now. Just wanted to tell our story. Left a lot out cause I could write a book. Never give up Dads!!

So heartbreaking! Unfortunately, "justice" isn't always "fair." It breaks my heart when dads do everything they're supposed to do, only to have the courthouse door slammed in their face.

Two wins to help you Matthew. My Brother received custody for my nieces and my Nephew received custody of his son. All of the children are grown now. They were all allowed to keep in contact with their Mothers when it was safe for them to do so.

Wow Hitting close to home here. My son and his daughter are living with us right now and we are going through this process. The mother is a heavy drinking party girl. A couple of months ago she got a drunk driving and she works part time at a liquor store. I could go on but there’s no need. We are not at the custody hearing part yet, still waiting for a hearing date, but are confident my son will prevail.

Wow! So sad when a parent puts their own needs before the needs of their child. Hopefully your attorney has you collecting all of the necessary evidence so you'll emerge successful!

@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC your part about the text messages were really good, and a recent reminder of somewhere I could have done better. All this Court process and fatherhood is really an opportunity for growth. I made a bulleted list from your content as a tool for reminder and to check in with self. Dads who are going through this process need and want to grow need reminders like in your content. Men may not share content, here's my story: Early in the process, I shared a post on "signs of alienation for Dad's," which really has good tips, and it was attacked by a flying monkey. So I personally, (I don't know men in general) may be less likely to share posts on this content (especially while they are going through the process) because it could come up in Court as skewed or manipulated, but I do watch and like it and comment. Men going through this process really have to tap deep, go inside, take accountability, improve themselves and ideally have a good therapist and trusted friends and family. Thank you for your content.

Outstanding video! Thank you!

agreed! All parents need to work together for the benefit of the children.

I think you need to be more honest if you are going to make a video like this. Gender is a HUGE factor in custody. Is it the only factor? No. But it's probably the most important one. BTW I prevailed in a contested custody case, so I speak from experience.

Way to go! As to gender, did you know that it is actually illegal for the Court to consider gender or marital status when determining custody in Texas? (Tex. Fam. Code § 153.003)

@@MatthewHarrisLawPLLC As I'm sure you already know, no one cares about laws like this. In MA, there are Judges that have been sitting on the bench for decades that have NEVER ruled in favor of a Dad in a contested case. That's provably discriminatory by any reasonable standard, and yet it continues. My understanding from looking at cases from the past 14 years is that TX is slightly better but not great for Dads.
