Paul C. Brunson

Vindictive and cheap and angry.

I'm like, why would you think he'd be benevolent during the divorce?

Like he was this way.

So like, if anything, it's just gonna be this under extreme stress.

So it's gonna be a little worse even than it normally would be.

So if your friend came in and said, look, the wheels are still on this thing, but I'm worried that it might be unstable.

What are the kinds of things a judge is going to look at when making decisions about custody?

Now I can educate you.

I can talk about joint custody, sole custody, shared custody.

I can talk about different parenting access schedules.

I can talk about what are the standards that a judge looks at when making decisions about custody.

I can talk about what I call the negative case and the positive case, which is not just what's wrong with your co-parent,

because you might be just as awful as them, just in different ways.

So what's the negative case is what's wrong with that co-parent or where are there areas that they could be better that they aren't versus where are areas where I'm strong as a co-parent.

And I can talk to you about what are the evidentiary standards and what are some ways that you can shore up and prepare.

So I would say, hey, make sure we go to parent teacher night, make sure we go to the pediatric appointments, make sure that you're part of the day-to-day routine of your child and not just doing the fun stuff.

Because by the way, you might be a super great dad,

But you trust your co-parent because they're good as a co-parent.

They're a good parent.

And you kind of don't like to be home because when you're home, you guys argue.
