So I am currently going through a custody battle with my ex
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Could you please tell me which state are you currently living in? Different states have different custody laws, and it would be helpful to provide you with the most accurate information.
I live in Michigan, the state is trying to force me to sign an agreement that is in her mother’s favor however I strongly believe she would live a better life with me and my fiance. Im not alone in this opinion either everyone I have spoke to also agrees. I could put together plenty of evidence showing she is an unfit parent however the state hasn’t given me any opportunity to share my side
