Reply #24: Actually I never said I knew what was best for the child. [View All]

The only point I made about this was the fact that the man involved had decided to go against the agreement that he had with his wife, they are still married, and was now asking for sole child custody and child support. I said that I suspected this was because he might just be interested in the child support. Do I know this? No, it was only a suspicion and if anyone had told me that they knew the facts and informed me of them, I would have accepted that. But no one knows the entire story, not you and not me. This means that I could be entirely wrong on this, and probably am. But I wonder now why so many people have taken exception to this, because I never said anything about what I am being accused of. I only stated my suspicion and I said I felt for his wife because he had cheated on her.

I never said I was discussed by him, or that it would be better for the child to be solely with either parent. I happen to think it is better for the child for there to be a civil agreement between the parents and for the child to have a relationship with both parents. I do not know what the facts are between the parents, and did not state anything about that. My statement was a very narrow one and has been widened by you fellow posters to mean much more than it ever meant.
