Ok here it is I am wanting to know what your opinion is on this...................Over the summer last yrear I asked my daughter father to keep her for a couple months so I could get my **** together and get a good job anyways things didn't go the way I planned and i came back I also have another daughter that was with her father for the same amount of time anyways he went behind my back and filed a report to get emergency temp custody by stating a bunch of lies and somewhat true things plus was paying a lawyer $100.00 an hour for her services so I couldn't fight him and I went into court in an agreement and he now has her until I get fully back on my feet. I now am in a stable home with my grandmother for now and I am getting ready to start a new life and career as an STNA. So now the other father want to do shared parenting b/c he doesn't want to work. Should I fight him and can i win or just give in and give him shared parenting?

It sounds like a tough situation. I know it must be very painful not to have your children with you. But you have to think about what is best for them. I'm not saying to give in, but focus on yourself. Get a good paying job and stand on YOUR own two feet. THEN try to regain custody of your children. Make sure you document everything too. Good Luck!!

I don't understand why shared parenting would mean the father doesn't have to work.
You can fight but you will probably have to have joint custody... that is what happens when two people have a child... they are BOTH responsible for that child's upbringing and generally one cannot keep the other from the child without severe circumstances.

FROM THE SOUND OF THINGS YOU NEED ALL THE HELP YOU CAN GET. IF IT BENEFITS THE CHILD IT'S A GOOD THING. THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL BENEFIT THE CHILD. FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF AND FORGET ABOUT HIM THINK ONLY ON WHAT IS THE BEST SITUATION FOR THE CHILD. GOOD LUCK

I don't understand why you felt the need to give your kids up while you got on your feet. Your kids are who you are, or they should be. You should of worked it out to where they stayed with you, and called it, "We're going to get on our feet", not "I'M". Maybe he can take them, and maybe he should.
