Someone very close to me was driven to suicide through the loss of his kids because of this bullshit. A decent and gentle , non-violent man. He was found not guilty of it, but the fmily court said that since the kids had been full-time with her, through the year or so of restraining orders, etc, that she get full custody. She then moved overseas with her next victim, half the cash from his house, and a whopping CS bill monthly, taking the kids. After 2 years of trying to see his kids (through the courts, of course) he necked it. This sort of story goes a long way to explain the wildly disproportionate rates of suicide bt men and women.
