That depends on the state. In TX it isn't so cut and dry. I know one woman who indeed did get a part of her husbands 401k as part of the divorce right here in TX. So that isn't the case here. Here in TX inherited property and lottery winnings don't commingle if one doesn't want them to.

It is however irrelevant as he made the decision all on his own, and he got paid back.
An argument can be made in court for funds put in a 401K after the marriage. The appearance here is that we are talking about funds invested prior to marriage

Step fathers are real step fathers :wave:


So real fathers. Or shouldn't a step father expect a fathers day card?

I know you have paid for me, and taken care of me since I was one, but you aren't a real fathers to no card for you.

That is an interesting philosophy. I am sure all the step fathers will agree with you.

A step father should not expect to get custody of step children except under the most unusual /of circumstances. And a biological mother relinquishing is indeed unusual and speaks of her character. If she can't care for her own children she has no business trying to take care of an entire state

Sure. Step fathers shouldn't get custody. Ok. That is like your opinion man. You don't think step fathers are real fathers, and thus shouldn't have rights. I get you.

Many disagree though.

Yes. All things being equal, a biological mother would trump a step father in regards to custody of children 100 times over, no question.

So, there had to be unique circumstances, for a biological mother to not have custody in this situation.

Now, she may have volunteered that she didn't want primary custody of her own kids, I haven't seen the court documents. Or, it could have been for other compelling reasons, to give a step father custody.

Does it tell me something about her if she voluntarily gave up custody of her own children to a step father? Yes it does and everyone else can decide what it tells them.

As you would say, it is a "fact" that courts favor mothers in all custody issues and it is also a fact that a biological mother, would be heavily favored by the courts vs a step father. Read up on how states decide custody for clarification.

She may have volunteered to not want custody, for her own personal reasons, or the court decided the step father was more "fit" to have custody. Either way, this is information about the women, that people can use to get a picture of what makes her tick.

Yes it says he was not working much and loved them, and She had a demanding career that required travel.

Seeing as how they decided who got custody I am thinking your attempt to paint her as evil fails.

Even Wendy Davis admitted having problems at the time of divorce: from the Dallas Morning News:
In his initial divorce filing, Jeff Davis said the marriage had failed, citing adultery on her part and conflicts that the couple could not overcome. The final court decree makes no mention of infidelity, granting the divorce solely “on the ground of insupportability.”

Amber was 21 and in college. Dru was in ninth grade. Jeff Davis was awarded parental custody. Wendy Davis was ordered to pay $1,200 a month in child support.

“She did the right thing,” he said. “She said, ‘I think you’re right; you’ll make a good, nurturing father. While I’ve been a good mother, it’s not a good time for me right now.’”
Even the very liberal blogger Wonkette cut her down: Wendy Davis Exposed! (As Having What Seems Like A Totally Great Ex-Husband)
Way to pick an ex-husband, Wendy Davis! A++ ex-husband, would marry and divorce ex-husband again!
