Thank you for being happy for me.
I have said it before and I'll say it yet again. While one would be foolish to think there is no gender bias, it's not nearly as bad as some people think.
Yes, I had a good case, but I worked my a** off to pull it off and I was extrememly child centred and prepared at every step of the way. I left no stone unturned, both in the courts and in my everday parenting of my kids, before, during and after our separation. I was successful far more because of my efforts than because of my good case.
It burns my ass when Dads (and I'm not saying this is you) give up or use gender bias as a crutch to excuse their own unwillingness to get down and do the work required to be successful at court.
