The daughter went with them on numerous missions trips, so she was rarely available to spend time with her father. This may have been documented by the father.
All I know is that I would be really upset if my ex-wife kept my child away from me in direct defiance of a court order! If she defied a court order for visitation, she rightfully lost custody of the girl!
Of course I'm speculating here!  |
It's my understanding the mother never lost custody per se. The father was granted primary custody in the original divorce. Once again, it's 60/40, mom still gets girl 40% of the time. Mom is trying to change original decree to 60/40 mom. But agreed, if during the time of pending divorce mom kept daughter out of the country on mission trips most judges would probably be more inclined to grant dad primary custody. And mom trying to modify the original decree would be an uphill battle.
