My exhusband wasn't just severely abusive (physically, sexually, and emotionally), he also stabbed me in the stomach during my last pregnancy. Still when I went to the final hearing on my divorce, to find out the decision on custody...I requested full custody of course, the judge said "well you're lucky he didn't show up today, otherwise it'd have likely been 50/50"
Yeah, it's sad -- and should be criminal -- how the law is applied in such a thoughtless manner. Attempted murder should disqualify any adult for any role in supervising or parenting a child.
