Jon's personal story

I have looked after my 2 girls since the youngest was 8 months old. She is 3 now. The mother physically assaulted me, and mentally and psychologically tortured me. She refused to co-parent so I had change over week about at another place to protect my girls from conflict. I have just spent $20,000 in legal fees as she lied to the court. She had the children that week and they had been coached so as to "exhibit fear towards me." I had orders from a judge several months ago week about but she was on holidays, so another old male judge decided to go with this new report. I had a glowing psychological report but stats say children need their mother if under 8.

So after 2 years I have now lost my time down to 2 days a fortnight. I work 2 days a week in a good job. I am devastated. What a gross injustice. She said she would destroy me and the family court is helping her do this. One wonders in the future when two males (gay) have children and they split up, who has the children then? My situation is gender biased. I have been so abused by this woman and NOONE is listening. My children are now with the mother who twice threatened to kill them. What a disgrace this country is becoming.
