We talk a lot about bad parents. This episode is about the opposite. Today we’re breaking down real cases involving fathers who show up, stay consistent, and put their kids first, yet find themselves stuck in high-conflict co-parenting situations. We share the kinds of behaviors that turn co-parenting into chaos, how these patterns show up in court, and why some of these dads ultimately end up with primary or full custody. This isn’t about bashing mothers. It’s about recognizing when conflict, control, or instability makes healthy co-parenting impossible, and what the courts actually look at when deciding custody. If you’ve ever wondered how a “good dad” can still be dragged into endless litigation, or how judges decide who the stable parent really is, this episode pulls back the curtain.
