So today I finally gained joint legal and physical custody over my child, along with zero child support. My ex-wife left me four months ago, two months after our daughter was born, half way through my nursing school semester, while I was also working full time. She left me and moved in with another guy immediately. A month later he dumps her and I become her target again. I held my ground though, and refused to let her come back into the marriage, or move back into the marital home (removed her from the lease). She then begins using my daughter as a point of leverage, stating that I'll only ever see her every other weekend if I'm lucky. During one confrontation she actually takes my daughter away from me, and drives off. After that I spent the rest (what was left) of my savings on a good lawyer and eventually made my way to today, where I gained joint physical and legal custody over my daughter, with no child support (similar incomes). Now she's continuing the guilt parade, and I somewhat feel for her. She lost me, half of her daughter's time, the apartment she'd known as "home," and the security she'd once felt with me. I shouldn't feel guilty right? She boned me, left me broken and confused, took half of my savings and demanded more, then threatened to take my daughter from me when I wouldn't let her back into my life.
