Child Custody Case

    I married a closet Witness from a foreign country. She married me to gain a visa whereas I entered the marriage in good faith. I am a Christian and am now going thru a divorce, broadly based upon a lack of foundation of our marriage, lack of any voice in my own home, intrusive nature of my wife's elders and their wives into our home and the welfare of our young son.

    For four years, I have conversly lovingly and passionately tried to reason with my wife, but she is contentious and unwilling to have a meaningful discussion with me regarding family matters.

    Concerning child sexual abuse, I have heard of a father who gained custody of his daughter due to an elder's molestation and the mother's unwillingness to believe the accusations, although the doctors did. The elder was in the hall where my wife attended prior to our moving to the other side of town. She still stays in close and regular contact with family members of foresaid elder.

    My wife's submitted parenting plan marginaIizes my son from me with no overnight visits and 18 hours a month visitation until the age of 6. She has states that this is so that, "He will know what he believes in before when he comes to stay with you." This breaks my family's heart to be facing no contact with their first grandchild and nephew.

    The fight of my life is on. Thomas Edison stated, "You can accomplish anything if you hustle while you wait." I am doing the legwork for my attorney. Who can I contact that might be willing to come forward to testify to the Watchtower's policy on handling child molestation accusations? Tennessee.

    If you don't already have this booklet I strongly suggest you download it and get it to your attorney.

    Preparing for Child Custody Cases; Legal Department, Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

    It is a goldmine of information on how the WTS lies in court especially when it comes to child custody

    In Iowa, where I live, there is a organization called"Fathers for equal rights". Is there one in your area? They strictly focus on the fathers ability to raise the children and they give great info on digging up LEGAL dirt on your spouse and any close associations she would have once the divorce is final. They also have a team of lawyers that deal specifically in child custody cases and family law on the side of the father. It is a pretty good org. especially in your case, might be worth looking into. I wish you and your child the best. Good Luck !!

    So sorry you are having to deal with this. It seems unlikely that a judge would approve that kind of proposal, especially for an involved father.

    THe only advice I have is document, document, document. Keep a calendar and mark on it the time you pick your son up, when you drop him off, when you call him, how long you talk, every bit of contact.

    Keep a journal with dates, times and summary of every conversation with your ex. Be honest - if you get mad and lose your temper, note it in the journal. THen it does not appear biased in your favor, just a recounting of facts.

    I also recommend that you check out www.deltabravo.net

    There is a lot of great info on that website.

    Have your lawyer view the video located at www.watchtowerinformationservice.org This video shows how elders will lie when questioned using the wrong language. Make sure he understands that Titles of book and brochures must be stated exactly or the witness elder will deny their existance. Good Luck

    Ditto everything said so far. Get a lawyer and do it now. You have rights, regardless of what she believes or not. Don't let her take over the situation....DO NOT hesitate.

    Good luck
