It was off and on. I was always out of the country, so it was more or less a thing of convenience. I would come home, we would do whatever we would do, then I would leave. I never meant it to be anything serious. I let her stay at my home because I was never there. She took advantage of the situation, as did I. I flew her out one weekend before taking off, and we made a baby...

The rest is a short marriage, and a long court fight, filled with more grim details than I care to rehash.

tl;dr I made bad choices, made a baby, did everything I could to be decent, eventually got custody.

Well kudos to you for doing the right thing by your daughter.

Way too many kids growing up without fathers today.

This thing has cost me at least $50K. And for the two years leading up to the trial, I didn't collect child support even though I had sole temporary custody -- because my superlawyer told me it would look better if I didn't seek money until after a ruling.

Fortunately, I never married my kid's mom. I knocked this idiot up and tried to man up -- ironically passed up on going to law school myself because I thought I had job security where I was -- only to have to file suit twice against this b*tch: once to get her back to Louisiana after Katrina, the other after CPS called to tell me she was in a psychiatric hospital and could I step in and take over my kid's life.
