Navigating the Role of a Custodial Parent: Balancing Challenges and Joys

Being a custodial parent comes with a unique set of responsibilities and rewards. Unlike co-parenting, where decisions are often shared, custodial parents handle the lion's share of day-to-day caregiving. This role demands resilience, adaptability, and a deep well of patience. From managing school schedules to navigating extracurricular activities, custodial parents are the steady anchors in their children’s lives.

Yet, the role also brings profound joys. The everyday moments—bedtime stories, school achievements, and spontaneous laughter—forge deep, lasting bonds. While the responsibilities can be overwhelming, finding support networks and prioritizing self-care can make the journey more manageable. Embracing the small victories and celebrating milestones, both big and small, can help custodial parent stay motivated and focused on the positive impact they have on their children’s lives. Balancing the challenges with the joys helps to create a nurturing and stable environment for growth.

Robert Glegg v. Justice for Children and Youth et al. and Hazel and Armando Flores Supreme Court of Canada File No : 40576

I am Robert Glegg, the Applicant in the Application for Leave to Appeal in the matter described below. This case is about my daughter, Olivia Glegg (“Olivia”). The Respondents in this case are Justice for Children and Youth et al. (“JFCY”) and Hazel and Armando Flores (the “Floreses”). JFCY is a branch of the legal system in Ontario with the purported mandate to help children. Beginning in late 2015 the Floreses, and then in 2016, JFCY also, maliciously and illegally interfered in my relationship with Olivia, for whom I had sole custody.

The incompetence and corruptness of the Ontario court system played an enormous part in abetting the behaviour of the Respondents, and in allowing the ensuing catastrophe with Olivia and me to unfold. In addition, given the highly irregular manner in which my file was recently handled by the Supreme Court of Canada (the “SCC”), I am requesting an investigation into my entire file. This letter briefly outlines the key events that occurred in this case, including some crucial background before JFCY became involved. All the details are backed up by exhaustive and definitive evidence provided in the proceedings.

Health Insurance (click for clarity)

I have a headcanon that Maddie and Jack did not have health insurance or insurance at all tbh, so Jazz really enjoyed the benefits of marriage.

So basically, in this idea, Dick and Jazz marry (bc Dick needed custody of Damian but he’s a single 20-something year old man, while Jazz was getting hounded by the Ghost Zone/her parents idk) but never fall in love. The two of them make a deal to get married and then parent Damian together, but then Dick finds out that they’re falling in love with each other’s siblings so he’s like “let’s divorce”.

It goes well and they both split things evenly or equally and it’s a very peaceful, amicable divorce.

Until they get to the custody of Damian. And then all hell breaks loose.

One of the dirtiest, most underhanded, and vicious custody wars ensue. In the end, they get split custody of Damian between Gotham and Blüdhaven. (He’s weirdly happy with it bc they fought so hard for him and they didn’t involve him at all except for courtesy questions).

Part two

Image description below:

Panel 1 has Dick’s solemn face as he’s looking away.

Dick: Jazz… we need to talk. I know that you’re in love with Jason…

Panel 2 has Dick’s side profile while we see Jazz stare at him in shock, holding a spilling teacup as she’s dripping tea.

Dick: *still looking sad* And I’m also in love with your brother Dan, so I think we should divorce.

Panel 3 is the both of them across from each other, in a very simplistic style. Jazz still looks vaguely shocked and Dick still looks sad.

Dick: I know that we both care for each other, but we’re in love with different people.

Panel 4 has Jazz finally snapping back to reality, as Dick continues talking.

Dick: It’ll be an amicable divorce, so I think that—

Panel 5 has Jazz standing up with a BAM! and knocking her teacup when she slams her hands on the table. Dick looks startled.

Dick: !

Panel 6 has a close up of Jazz’s panicked expression as she’s shouting.

Jazz: BUT WHAT ABOUT THE HEALTH INSURANCE?!

Edit: I changed the pictures to add the right font and a ring on Jazz’s finger.

Hfjone au where instead of kidnapping people for his reality show he accidentally discovers twitch and starts a stream and becomes the most popular twitch streamer ever. People love tuning in to watch forest man and his wacky antics. They love the “larp.” Twitch keeps trying to get him to come to cons he can never attend. People make wildly popular edits and gifs of him to share on stan twitter.

Instead of getting people to entertain him, he works to entertain people.

De-aged and injured Danny

Danny is found out by his parents. They don't take it well.

Clockwork is very upset about this, because he'd gambled on almost-certain odds of them being chill about it. So now he has to run damage-control before this very unlikely time-line goes even further off the deep end.

Unfortunately, Danny needs to be in the living world, not the Infinite Realms. Which means that Clockwork needs to put Danny somewhere safe. Somewhere where nobody will find him.

And double-unfortunately, the only place that remotely fits this bill is to contact Lady Gotham.

City-spirits aren't... super-reliable. They're Neverborns who very very rarely consider "humanoid shapes" worth figuring out. So they just kind of... exist. An ectoplasmic presence that's undeniable, but also extremely difficult to have a conversation with.

Thankfully, Lady Gotham is (for all of her... quirks) generally very hero-aligned. Which is why she's the best one to ask for sanctuary for Danny.

Danny who Clockwork de-aged as a way to "limit his injuries" of being vivisected.

Lady Gotham agrees, but she only has one "safe place" to put him. And her Knight is a little bit too paranoid for her to just dump an injured child in his lair, without causing more trouble than it's worth.

But it's hardly a difficult thing, to arrange a few things, and place Danny in a spot where his injuries will cause her Knight to hurry to his aid.

Such as... in a room filled with medical equipment, right next door to where Joker has just lost a fight with Batman.

Things escalate somewhat when Batman finds him and makes some assumptions about what Joker has been up to. Tempers run a bit high, someone loses a few extra teeth, someone else has to physically drag Bruce off Joker's body before he beats him to death, and the Joker considers the whole thing a grand old laugh (he has no idea what's going on, but it sure pissed off Batty, and that's always a treat).

Of course, the Batfam has to actually investigate the scene, evacuate Danny, give Danny medical aid, and then also ask Danny about what happened.

Danny wakes up and is very confused about a lot of things.

He's no longer being vivisected. Great. Love that part.

He's somewhere he doesn't recognize (the Batcave). Could be good, could be bad. At least the bed is pretty nice?

He's very small. This feels like a personal attack. He might not have gotten a good growth-spurt yet, but taking away what he had is cruel and unusual.

And there's a weirdo in an... armored bat-costume? Who isn't setting off his ghost-sense? What the hell kind of "normal" person wears something like that?

Still, Danny does answer the questions that Batman asks him, because... well, there's a green post-it-note in his pocket that says he shouldn't lie.

So Danny tells Batman about his parents cutting him up "for science". And Batman hears that the Joker somehow managed to hire two mad scientists who (upon the tiniest bit of suggestion from the Joker, who'd definitely seen the similarities between Danny and Jason and thought it would be a "funny prank") had leapt at the opportunity to vivisect their own son.

This is definitely worrying, because from the phrasing, they'd been "wanting to do it for a long time". And considering Danny's slow heartbeat and low body-temperature? They'd been wanting to do it because he was a meta.

So, somewhere out there (the Bats had found no trace of the two) were two deranged lunatics who wanted to cut open metas to "see how they worked".

Batman does the very reasonable thing and actually contacts the rest of the Justice League with their descriptions, just in case they'd managed to leave Gotham before the Bats had tracked them down.

Rock Star Kon AU

A comment on my first Rock Star Kon AU post inspired this little thing :]

Meet the parents? Kon doesn’t know Tim’s secret identity as Red Robin, Tim is immediately able to figure out that Kon is Superman’s son he didn’t know about. Clark had suspicions about being somehow related to Kon, the teen star on TV just had to many similarities to him for them not to be. (I’m giving them a healthy relationship because I fully believe that Clark would never, and I mean never abandon someone innocent, especially if that someone is technically his kid.) Clark gave Kon his kryptonian name, and supports him in his dreams of being a rock star instead of a full fledged hero. Clark’s mainly ok with it because it’s much safer than being a hero, plus it makes Kon happy, so win win. Don’t ask about how the law works with them, it’s all magically fine at the moment.

So we have post adoption Tim, who knows Superman’s secret identity, and Superman knows his and Batman’s secret identities. All sitting down at a dinner table, at a super nice restaurant, with a super villain, who only knows Superman’s secret identity, and a teenage rock star. Clark and Bruce have to pretend like they aren’t besties fr and are totally normal civilians, Lex (I like to think of Lex as the distant dad who puts in at least a little effort, especially after realizing he can’t control Kon) absolutely hates Clark’s guts and fully thinks Bruce “what type of animal is Tony the Tiger?” Wayne is annoying, and Bruce is full Brucie Wayne mode, and actively trying to not strangle Lex.

Kon thinks the tension is because he is dating a guy (although Lex doesn’t care that his son experiment is dating a boy, his problem is that he’s dating a Wayne.) Tim knows exactly what the tension is about and is actively dying inside.

Donald Padgett at The Advocate:

Colorado’s legislature gave final approval to a bill further extending civil rights protections to the transgender community after the most controversial section regarding child custody and parental visitation rights was removed, Colorado Newsline reports.

House Bill 1312, entitled The Kelly Loving Act, named after a transgender woman murdered in the 2022 Club Q shooting in Colorado Springs, passed the state’s Senate by a vote of 20-14 on Tuesday, and the amended bill passed the House by a vote of 40-24 later that evening. The bill now heads to the desk of gay Democratic Gov. Jared Polis for his signature or veto.

If signed by Polis, the new law would “define deadnaming and misgendering as discriminatory acts in the ‘Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act,’ and prohibit these discriminatory acts in places of public accommodation.” The Kelly Loving Act defines “chosen name” as a name chosen by a person and related to a person’s “disability, race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, familial status, national origin, or ancestry, so long as the name does not contain offensive language and the individual is not requesting the name for frivolous purposes.” The new law would nix the requirement of a court order to change a person’s gender marker on their driver’s license, and would also permit a second or third change as well. The Kelly Loving Act would require schools to allow students to follow the gender-specific dress code of their choosing and be “inclusive of all reasons” why a student would opt for a chosen name.

The bill’s Section II was removed via amendment in the Senate after causing some controversy. That section instructed courts to “consider deadnaming, misgendering, or threatening to publish material related to an individual’s gender-affirming health-care services as types of coercive control,” when the courts were “making child custody decisions and determining the best interests of a child for purposes of parenting time, a court shall.” Still, LGBTQ+ groups applauded the bill's passage.

The Colorado State Senate and House passed an amended version of HB 25-1312 that would further expand trans civil right protections. The bill is expected to be signed by Gov. Jared Polis (D) into law.

The bill was amended to remove a very controversial provision regarding child custody.

Florida's Custody Law A Challenge in Addressing Parental Child Abduction

In Florida, the current custody law presents a significant challenge for custodial parents facing interference from the other parent. Under the existing framework, Florida’s exemption effectively blocks parent versus parent claims for custodial interference in civil courts. This legal gap can leave custodial parents vulnerable, as their concerns about interference are often dismissed without proper recourse.

Compounding this issue is the fact that criminal penalties for parental child abduction are rarely enforced. This lack of accountability creates an environment where the risks associated with child abduction are diminished, potentially encouraging harmful behavior among non-custodial parents. The absence of robust legal protections not only undermines the custodial parent's rights but also places children at risk of instability and emotional distress.

To combat these challenges, advocacy for legal reforms is essential. Lawmakers need to address the loopholes that currently allow parental interference to go unchallenged. Strengthening the enforcement of custodial rights in civil courts and imposing stricter penalties for abduction can create a more balanced legal landscape.

By fostering a legal environment that prioritizes children's welfare and parental accountability, Florida can protect custodial parents and, ultimately, ensure a safer, more stable upbringing for children caught in the crossfire of custody disputes. Addressing these issues is vital for promoting justice and stability within families.

The beginning of the Ontario court system’s cover-up

Tika needn’t have worried, though, about any consequences due to her failed bid to hide her illegal involvement in my sole custody. Despite providing all the details of Tika’s continual abusive interference with my sole custody of Oliva, including her illegal signing of the university admissions papers, along with the fact that, crucially, I was not given any notice, as required, before Olivia was granted independence, the judge in my motion against Tika stated that since Olivia already had her independence, it was of no consequence what Tika had done. Yet he completely ignored the fact that the granting of Olivia’s independence had clearly been an utterly incompetent fiasco.

University for Olivia was not the real goal In July of 2016 it became apparent why Tika had been so obsessed with getting Olivia into university. Although I had already paid Tika the full sum of child support for Olivia until her 18th birthday, as per our separation agreement, with Olivia now headed for university there would be additional costs to cover. And so JFCY sued me for $75,000 per month in child support. Visit us to know more about Sole custody rights.
