Divorce can often tear families apart in this way, sadly. <blockquote> [<em>Ed.

I have represented fathers that have gotten full custody of their children, but it can be an uphill battle to prove those facts in the divorce case.

Admittedly, I’m biased on the issue of litigating vs. mediating divorces (even though retired): Volunteer work for the D.C.
