Who (in the world) told your brother that the wife would get all of these things? I just went through this whole process over the summer - in a different state - and it is just not that easy, at least not in my state. Mothers still, typically, get physical custody, but not always and less typically than in the past. And it is certainly state-specific.
There is a website that I like for free legal advice ... I don't know if I can provide the link, but it is called freeadvice - just add the www to the front and the com to the end. Then click on "legal forums" and go down to the family law, etc. But ... they are pretty brutal there. If anyone thinks that people on city-data are mean, critical and brusque, they have never posted something there. And be very factual, specific, etc.
And I agree with everyone else that he should consult an attorney (this might be free, but I paid $100 for one consult and then for another I paid the person's standard hourly fee, and she would have gone for 3 hours if I hadn't had to run somewhere.
If there's any chance of doing things with any civility, they can look into mediation, but if one spouse is in any way intimidating, this might not be the right option. In my experience at least, documentation was meaningless in a mediation, but would be helpful if this all plays out through the court.
ya, thanks for the free advice thing!

Oh yeah, the Head-On thread, another classic. And I forgot the saggy toes thread.
But *seriously* to illustrate the brutality of the site you are about to encounter, I posted there on Christmas Day, just to see about the interference question, as well as the assault question, but mainly the interference question. Well, after I posted, I went back to my hotel room for a couple of hours and when I came back there were 10 posts claiming that my story didn't make sense, that it sounded "fishy" - that I must be making something up or leaving something out. I hadn't realized they wanted the novel version. But ... when they give legal advice, rather than personal advice, it is extremely helpful (and usually they just ignore anything that isn't addressing a strictly legal question). And I didn't really care - I wasn't there to make friends, ya know? I just needed some freeadvice.
is this the useded ***** i defended? good thing she'll have to speak at the divorce trial. if she's so bad i don't think he has to worry. is there any reason she would get full custody. her being a drunken idiot thief possibly insane neglectful mother probably will work in his favor.
For more brutality in forums ya might want to check out one called loveshack. Just remember to put the org at the end. Brutal, brutal people who would come after you and burn down your house if they knew where you lived!!!

yes, this is the "useded" idiot that you defended. how do ya feel now allah truth? pretty silly i bet!
my bro lives in florida. there are tons of witnesses to her behavior.
Even better yet
FL is siding A LOT!!!! with fathers, and giving them a fair chance. (Unlike other states, which, STILL, side mainly with mothers)
I KNOW (went through divorce myself), that a child of that age, CAN and WILL be questioned (12 years of age is considered the age of "reason", and can have weight in the court decision making)
It is truly better to provide a more comfortable and stable environment for the child....without drunken episodes, without fights and arguments, without drama of sorts.
It is not that easy, to just "swipe" the house and such......and court WILL take care of that issue. FL is NOT like CA, where spouses are entitled automatically for half of everything.
It's time to "cut the idiot" lose......and to re-claim your bothers and his child's LIFE!!!
Good luck.....and I wish them and you the best!
If your brother is that interested in getting a divorce, he needs to go see an attorney himself and get the facts of what is what and what he needs to do.
Sometimes people will use every excuse in the book as for why they won't divorce their spouse, when the reality is that for some reason and on some level it works for them. Even if it's just that they think they deserve to be miserable. You can point the way out to him, but let him make the decision for himself. He's your brother and you want the best for him, but he has to make up his own mind. You don't want him to blame you later if he decides it wasn't what he wanted.
