Matthew and his children's mother upon divorce had agreed to a consent custody order. Both parties cooperated for four years to the point that the co-parenting practice differed greatly from the written order. Matthew recently met a very nice woman and asked her to marry him.
It was at this point that the mother of Matthew's children told Matthew that he would not see his children anymore. Matthew came to a NCFC Thursday night meeting where he learned about the steps, procedures, and time it takes to get or change a custody order.
The first step was to reestablish the consented custody order. Matthew wrote a letter to his children's mother stating that he will be picking up the children as per the custody order. To Matthew's delight, his children's mother called Matthew and informed him that he can resume seeing his children. Matthew called NCFC to thank us for the idea. He sounded like he had won the lottery.
This is the type of success that inspires our members to become more involved parents and to become active members helping others. It is incredible to see men like Matthew flying so high.
