FACT: Right Now Your Ex has 100% Control of:


-How Much You Pay in Child Support

-How Often You Can See Your Child

-Whether You Can See Your Child at All

Unless you have a judge’s order on your side.

Most alarming of all, without a judges order on your side, your ex has 100% control over:

What Kind of Man Will Raise Your Child?

If she is with the wrong kind of man, the long term effects on your children could be disastrous.

Studies have shown over and over that little girls raised by their non-biological father are much more at risk for:

Self esteem issues

Body weight issues

Even growing up with “Daddy issues” that make them make dangerous decisions with older men.

Little boys raised by step fathers are much more in danger of abuse, being bullied, and feeling like they don’t fit in this world.

Studies show they are much more likely to grow up without direction. And vulnerable to being taken advantage of.

These are unpleasant truths to discuss, but the result of not taking action could be much worse.

Here are some of the warning signs:

-Your ex doesn’t return your texts or calls

-Your ex doesn’t show up when it’s your turn to spend time with your child

-Your ex doesn’t tell you about doctors visits or school activities

The Solution?

A judge having your back in the form of a court order she must follow.

No more games.

No more getting jerked around.

No more danger to your children from another man without you being able to protect them.
