I first bumped into Chris Hobbs'story at Glenn Sacks' blog a few months ago, and i see that Hobbs is, admirably, still keeping up the fight to win back joint custody of his son. Hobbs had joint custody until he committed the heinous and unforgivable crime of becoming, may god forgive him, a firefighter. The work schedule involved in this new position was then used by his ex wife to file for sole custody, and sure enough, she got what she wanted. The guy is a firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician, in other words he spends his days helping other people, and how does the Legal System repay his service to his fellow humans? By using said service to take away his son, that's how. Well, Chris isn't standing for any of the system's swill, he's set up a website, taken out billboards and gotten himself on the local news, and on YouTube...
Quick disclaimer- Porky has no piglets, so i have no emotional investment in father's rights( beyond seeing my fellow boars mistreated ),so i am not an "angry dad", but this just seems grotesquely unfair and i can not imagine it happening to a mother, i mean, imagine a woman losing joint custody because she has become a nurse! Unlikely.
