Hello fellow child care advocates! I have a very personal request from this great group.
I have been divorced and raising my children full time for the past 6 years. Their dad has always been in their life but only on weekends. Recently he filed paperwork with the court asking for full custody. I now have to prove to the court why the children should remain with me. As you can imagine this is very emotional for me and I want my argument to be well-rounded, thoughtful and research based.
I am looking for any credible research that references children remaining with their primary caregiver and/or why it would be a great disruption in their lives to make this sudden shift. Thank you in advance.
