Being an NCP (Non-Custodial Parent) has some advantages. A non-custodial parent doesn’t have custody.

Generally, the NCP has the kids every other weekend and one night during the week. Every Wednesday and every other weekend is a common schedule. At first, this seems incredibly limiting to you.

You’ve gone from being with the kids 30 nights per month down to 6-8 nights per month. That’s a significant change. But let’s look a little deeper.

With sole custody comes sole responsibility and all the accompanying stress. As a NCP, you’re still connected to your kids, but without most of the stress and responsibility.
You might find you’re just as active and involved in your kid’s life as a NCP as you were before the divorce. Many NCP’s are more active in their kid’s lives than married fathers of intact families are.

Being the NCP means you can still volunteer to coach your daughter’s soccer team or your son’s basketball team. And, you’ll still be attending teacher conferences and school plays.My point is, you can give your ex-wife full custody and remain an involved father.

So if you’re fighting for custody because you’re afraid of being “cutout” of your children’s lives, you’re fighting for the wrong reason.Being an NCP brings benefits that have nothing to do with the kids or being a parent. Freedom is a huge benefit of being a NCP. You’re free to do what you want, because legally, you don’t have to do anything.

When I started helping men through their divorce a number of years ago, something amazing happened that I never expected.

I noticed about 20% of my clients were women!  No kidding; women!

I soon realized these women were seeking my advice for the men in their lives.  I get e-mails all the time from mothers helping their sons, sisters wanting to help their brothers, and the all important “2nd wives” desperate to help their husbands cope with the ex-wife from Hell.

If you’re a woman reading this for your man; “Bravo”!  It really shows your concern.  You have my full support.

I ran across a site the other day with solid Divorce advice, so check it out.

It’s a fact that women initiate over 85% of the divorces in this country.  This isn’t because women are less happy than men in a marriage, they just know they have a huge advantages in divorce - both financially and regarding child custody. 

The deck is stacked in a woman’s favor, especially when she’s also a mother.  It’s been said, “marriage is nothing more than an insurance policy for the woman.” And there’s a lot of truth to that statement. 

The law clearly favors women and mothers in a divorce.  Anybody who tells you otherwise is a liar or ignorant of the divorce laws in this country.  The people you encounter in the family law system often have a strong gender bias or hidden agendas.  The vast majority of these people are not accountable to anyone.  This situation is the perfect example of, “absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

In this blog I’ll explore ways you can get a better deal in a dovorce that you expect.  So stay tuned.
