What you seem to be missing is that it is VERY rare for ANY parent to get full custody of the kids in Canada. BTW, custody and time with the kids are two different things. Custody refers to a parent having a say in how their kids live (where they go to school, their medical care, after school activities etc). Time with them is a totally separate issue.

I can't speak to how things are down south, but up here it is VERY rare for a father to get full custody of the kids. If the mother is deemed "unfit" then the father will POSSIBLY get full custody and the mother would have ever other weekend visitation rights with the kids. The far more common scenario is for the father to have shared custody of their kids and see them every other weekend. This is not fear, it is FACT. Do you really think I haven't done a TON of my own fact finding to know what my chances are in a custody fight?

This has NOTHING to do with me being a nice guy. If I thought that I could have my kids brought back to my province I would have that done BUT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. I haven't spoken much about my W but I do think, despite her recent actions, she is a good mother. I know my kids need her just as much as they need me.
